The political equivalents of this tragic headline are both of these a). GOP states wondering why the guy they voted in is creating instability in their neck of the woods and b). Dems wondering why people aren’t donating money to their txt campaigns.

As a music listener, I want to press play on a purchased track in Apple music that says “downloaded”, so that I can…successfully listen to the song I had purchased and downloaded. Apple music management just keeps getting more and more terrible. I just want to play the tracks I own.

I decided months ago to really shore up our emergency fund. I’ve been recommending the same to friends, family, and strangers. Saving is hard, it can feel impossible, but even $10 a month is better than zero. Cheeto Prez is lighting his matches.

I’m visiting a relative who is battling a health issue. She has cable tv, which I haven’t watched or had access to in 20 years and there it is: a commercial with Tony Hawk peddling a supplement to combat the side effects of that statins he is on.

Monday is the first day back to work after a couple of weeks off. Naturally the little one can’t sleep (he hasn’t been feeling well to be fair), so he and I are hanging out on the couch. Gonna be a rough morning for both of us.

I fell asleep in a bad mood on the couch and woke up at about 2 am. I just spent the last couple of hours listening to the latest The Talk Show episode with Kagi founder/CEO Vlad Prelovac. Kagi has been rock solid for me and this episode confirmed a lot of my assumptions on their product approach.
