    Going Analog

    Four years Apple Watch,

    Going manual for now.

    Keep checking my wrist.

  • I hate when retailers break up a single transaction into charges based on shipments. I get why they do it, it’s just annoying.

  • Planned Parenthood Clarifies Black Lives Only Matter Once They’ve Been Born - The Babylon Bee

    Abortion provider Planned Parenthood has been confusing its supporters, claiming that black lives matter but still killing a disproportionate number of black people a day.

    Stocking Up

    Baby coming soon,

    Time to order supplies. Oops,

    Bank froze debit card.

  • Washington Post Calls On Patriots To Change Offensive Name - The Babylon Bee

    This name is very offensive to austere religious scholars in other countries, liberals, and Canadians. We must call on the NFL to do better, to be better.

  • Activists Fight Racism By Driving All People Of Color Out Of Pop Culture - The Babylon Bee

    “Anywhere we see a person of color, we see racism. So we must end racism by making sure people of color are not depicted anywhere”

    Dinner while out, too.

  • New Facebook and Instagram Options Let US Users Turn Off Political Ads - MacRumors

    The new ability to disable political ads will apply to political, electoral, and social issue ads from candidates, Super PACs and other organizations that include the “Paid for by” political disclaimer.

    No one should use these garbage platforms. That being said, this is a wonderful idea.

    Drug Not Covered

    “New drug not covered!”

    Sent in appeal. “Okay, sure.”

    What a strange business.

  • I will never understand the business model of heath insurers, pharmacy benefit administrators, and pharmaceuticals.

    That being said, I’ve found all three work together to the substantial benefit of the consumer.

  • Political Groups Track Protesters’ Cellphone Data - WSJ

    Some argue that collecting protesters’ location data is akin to surveillance.

    Duh.

    But given the lack of rules around informed consent—protesters may not even know their data is being used—he said there is little to protect others from using data to identify individual protesters.

  • I heard a report that the credit bureaus are going to offer free weekly credit reports to consumers through the end of the year.

    Kind of highlights how dumb this system is. They collect your information, without your consent, sell it to lenders, and then turn around and charge you to see your own profile.

  • I love the productivity flow of cleaning day.

    Walking at Sunset

    Sun is nearly set,

    Advanced Droning

    First time not at home,

    Glad to have no trees. But still,

    Much to learn, practice.
