Regarding LB[1]: I discovered there's even more people out there applying their own soundtrack to videos of the TGV. Like this little one:

I'm probably biased, but I feel like this format would be good for promoting public transportation. 🤔

Can't sleep. Probate lawyer dumped a thick pile of documents on me, and it's now sinking in that I have all these responsibilities to my brothers & sisters & nieces & nephews that I have to sort out. Mom, I had no idea what it meant when I agreed to be the executor of your estate way back in 1984. You & Dad were supposed to live forever!

Out of everything in life possibly the one thing that most resembles a mechanic from a pen and paper RPG is taking a shower. You may take one shower per day and during the shower the solution to one Problem will simply spontaneously present itself to you. You can take multiple showers in the same 24 hour period if you like, but the effect will not stack

I was listening to a local FM station on my commute and the traffic report comes on and I don't recognize any of the roads or place names even though I've lived here for 14 years. Finally at the very end I realize the report was for a city 600 miles south. And then I remembered most FM stations are "local" these days.

I’ve had an amazing 1st full day in Ithaca NY. I took a full roll of mostly nature shots, the gorges, waterfalls, flowers. This library was impossible to capture with the lens on my camera, but the phone camera worked. So I can share it now, vs all the nature shots which will have to wait to be developed and scanned.

📕 My book On Web Typography is now free!
It’s 10 years old, and with A Book Apart winding down, I’d like to keep it available for everyone to read. Even though it’s about ever-evolving web typography, the information is still solid — I wrote it to act more as a guide for approaching aesthetics and function, and less about the specifics of code. Enjoy!

a terrible idea, poorly thought out…
‘One bill sponsor has said that widely used educational materials that teach about the history of racism in the U.S. causes depression in kids. Kids speaking out about mental health challenges or trying to help friends with addiction are likely to be treated the same as those promoting addictive or self-harming behaviors, and will be kicked offline. Minors engaging in activism or even discussing the news could be shut down…’
