The guy’s current theory about the Black Riders in the Lord of the Rings is that, because they can’t see and have special sensing powers, they are likely robots.
Why not, really. -

Some not-quite-tight kerning on a bag of tangerines made me think it said “Heal thy snacks.”

Extremely perverse: I’m going to treat myself this weekend by letting myself read this long article about a possible new Great Depression that I didn’t let myself read while I had stuff to do.

It's sticky, yet feels kind cold without a jacket. Great weather combo here.

In Minneapolis and Columbus today, it is obvious that there are consequences for police murdering people. My hope is that there are actual consequences and subsequent reform for the police. I hope to someday see a police force that can be trusted to serve and protect, in which everyone can go to the them for help or walk by them without having to weigh the risk of possible abuse and murder.

GoFundme is terrible. Hitting the Submit button on their site silently fails. If you have something wrong, like the credit card expiry date, it’ll tell you that the CVV is wrong. I suspect that it silently failed because the name I put in the form initially did not match the name in the field exactly.
There’s people relying on this for life-and-death matters. I can’t believe they are this bad at basic transaction UX. -
10 burpees, 10 pull-ups.

~40 min. run, 12 pull-ups. I had gotten acclimated to running in the mask, but now it’s all hot out, which makes it noticeably brutal again.
Still, really glad I did it. It’s going to be both hotter and busier tomorrow. -
New Small Findings episode. This one's about gravitational lensing (and me relearning how basic optical lenses work), how Lord of the Rings operates on five-year-olds, and hamburgers.
I keep imagining that I'll write and record a bit of the podcast each day, then merely assemble it with my makefile every Sunday night. That's never actually happened. I usually record one segment in the middle of the week and then spend hours on Saturday or Sunday doing the rest. This week, I ended up doing it Monday night, starting recording after 10.
So, some further sustainability thinking has to be done here. -

The content isn't actually that insightful, but it is interesting to see investment comix.

Has anyone tried calling millennials “smellennials” yet?
In related news, I found out from Dan that teens call anyone older than them “boomers”. -

Some blursed deeds from Dr. Wily lately:
- She threw up her dinner but gave enough warning for me to be able to catch it all in a rag. I then had to wash off that rag, though, because you can’t just let cat puke sit.
- A cat, likely Dr. Wily, spit up twice this morning. We heard it from the bedroom but did not see it. I found one spot but could not find the other. Later, when I fed the cats, I found that I had dumped the food into cat sputum. Wily had spit up in her bowl, which was nice of her. However, now I felt that I had to dump the food, wash the bowl, and pour more food. -
