Let me make sure I have this right.
POTUS replaced the staff at Kennedy Center in order to effect more anti-woke programming. And the first show back is going to be…

Reacquainting myself with DEVONThink.
I think I’m going to use the occasion of a job change to declare bankruptcy on my Obsidian vault and rebuild it from the ground up. I just have to decide the best way to do that. Anybody have any ideas? An approach that’s been helpful?
Coming up on the last full week at the school I’ve been at since 2016. A summer full of training for my new position and a concert tour of Brittany.
After 23 years of procrastination, I have finally finished reading The Lord of the Rings.
I just bought my first physical book in probably 15 years or more. I’ve been all digital since I can remember.
Maybe I could come up with a collection of blank text file templates and charge $250.
Every time I get on a self-curated personal music library kick, I am quickly reminded how painful that whole process is.
The HVAC technician accidentally broke the capacitor on our system. Replaced at no charge. No offer to upgrade to the flux model, though.
Fortunately, I have not experienced the One UI 7 bug that led Samsung to pull the update. 🤞🏼
Today would be a great day for an actual First Contact Day.
The only way to use RCS on an Android device is to use Google Messages. I know that’s a carrier issue, but still…
I have been playing around and am now disabused of the notion that iOS is more private/secure (I know there’s a difference) than Android. I’ve got my Samsung device pretty impressively locked down.

Finished reading: Bad Actors by Mick Herron 📚 Probably Herron’s best installment of the Slow Horses series. This will make a great season if the Apple TV+ show makes it this far.
At the start of the day tell yourself: I shall meet people who are officious, ungrateful, abusive, treacherous, malicious, and selfish.

My wife did not appreciate my morning recitation of P. D. Q. Bach lyrics over coffee.
My wife has decided that our her Corgi needs a ramp to get on our bed instead of the set of foam stairs she’s been using for years. 🙄
I’ve said I don’t need to add Linux to my list of hobbies. Will I end up hating myself if I start playing around by adding Linux to my Intel MacBook Pro?
TIL MacOS has a built-in digital color picker, which was exactly the tool I needed.
I just conducted a whole lot of business with a piece of pineapple stuck between my teeth that I did not feel but was very much visible. How’s your day going?
I’m glad TextExpander gave me a heads up on my upcoming renewal. What they really mean is, “Thank you in advance for your upcoming donation because we no longer make anything of value.” No, thank you.

PDF Expert doesn’t suck as an Adobe Acrobat alternative.
I’ve downloaded 99 books from my Kindle library before Amazon locks them down. Now, I need to figure out how to use Calibre. I’m assuming it’s fairly simple and straightforward.
