Willie Mays passes away at 93.
Mays was always the most mythical to me of all those legends from the 50s and 60s, maybe because of the great black and white footage of him in centerfield and of course “The Catch.” His 660 career home run total was as memorable to me as 714 and 755.
I am “pinched a nerve washing the dishes” years old I guess.
Spent the morning in debilitating pain but now just in miserable unable to move or sit or lay down pain thanks to steroids and muscle relaxers.
Southwest Airlines is adding nonstop flights from Austin to Detroit for Texas fans traveling for Texas-Michigan game in September.
I’d be interested to know if any other airlines do this sort of thing or if it is unique to Southwest. Or maybe due to Austin being a really big but not THAT big city with lots of direct flights to places.
Smart Script for iPadOS 18 is going to make me think I can handwrite notes and draw again isn’t it?
I feel bad for Alanis Morissette. I’m staring right at the dictionary definition of ironic/irony and I’m still completely unable to explain it properly to my 2nd grader.
Wait… so do people who mispronounce gif and built websites in the early 2000s say “spacer jifs”? Ewww so gross.
A group of women next to me at Dune 2 snuck in an entire pizza in a purse. Legends.
Spent an hour coaching my daughter’s U9 soccer team today (despite not playing or watching any soccer since I was about her age), and somehow my knees and every other joint in my body hurt now.
Artifact AI-based news app from Instagram cofounders is shutting down. I tried it for a few weeks while Reddit was imploding but it only got worse and worse as they added more features and started to do the sort of things free apps relying on algorithms and desperate for astronomical user growth seem to have to do.
Finally I can shit using the same technology I use to read library books.
