Colorado is the best. I forget when I’m away for a while but it always comes back to me in full color.

With the benefit of hindsight, bringing a very crumbly scone on to the airplane to eat for breakfast might be one of the poorer decisions I’ve made this year.

There’s a thunderstorm rolling in the distance. The summer-night air is cool. I’m flying to see my mom and dad for the weekend. I worry about the world. Sometimes I am also glad to be reminded that I am small in it.

I audibly groaned at the video of the Air India flight rotating but failing to climb out. Stuff of nightmares for pilots. RIP to those whose lives were lost.

Everyone with a connection to the midwest should probably read "Midwest Futures" by @philipchristman.bsky.social

@padizio.com Happy birthday, Paul! I hope you enjoy this splendid day; it’s a beauty. Checking in to see if you’d like to continue our annual tradition of donation matching?

44 is a good number. I’ve always liked it; lots of good stuff associated with it.

Baseball in Columbus, Ohio ⚾️

Happy first day of June, the best month of the year!

I’d watch this movie.

Apple declining a @gruber.foo invitation feels like a distressed canary in an otherwise busy coal mine. Add on this week’s @atp.fm intro and the recent @siracusa.social blog and the faint traces of a WIRED cover start coming in to the imagination.

Fireworks season: The worst.

One of my core moral convictions is that killing young people is bad and there is no commentary or explanation needed beyond that.

Underworld in Chicago last night was absolutely incredible. So great to finally see Rick and Karl in person after 30 years.

Great to see Liz Lopatto at @theverge.com among the journalists who still have the courage to call the wealthy to account for their horrors: www.theverge.com/amazon/66791...

The Detroit Tigers sure are playing some excellent baseball this season ⚾️

Seems like this is an apology tour for claiming N90 controllers “walked off the job” when those controllers were, in reality, on trauma leave.

This is the journalism the people need

Want proof? You can (and should!) buy the book right here: www.arcadiapublishing.com/products/978...

Good morning. The Detroit Tigers are in first place in the American League ⚾️

All the more reason to look forward to Scorsese’s forthcoming adaptation of Marilynne Robinson’s ‘Gilead’ series, as we’ve previously linked to over at @gileadsociety.com.

Some glimmers of hope from Canada, eh?

Tarik Skubal struck out the side in order in the second inning, including Gary Sanchez on this 99 mph fastball. Skubal has 5 strikeouts thru 2 scoreless innings, with only a Gunnar Henderson single allowed.

You should be watching the Detroit Tigers game ⚾️ 👀

Happy Phil Christman Day! Buy this book, do it do it 👇

What you don’t see in this video are the previous two sliders that Manny Machado, a six-time All-Star, whiffed at like a beer-league softball player.
