The Verge on Facebook’s data download strategy:
In the meantime, Facebook’s data protection tools mostly serve to distract users from the more aggressive data collection happening behind the scenes.

Book Review: Grant Us Peace 📚
December 14, 2018Grant Us Peace was the second book that I wrote in 2014. I was in the groove and, at the time, feeling a bit spiritually dry. I wrote an entire first draft, and immediately trashed it and started from scratch. I’m very proud of the work that I was able to ship.
The goal of the book is simple: help the reader start a routine of daily prayer, with a short reflection and single action step.
I’m very critical of my own works, so I won’t rate the book. What I will say is that it delivers on its promise.
Rating: N/A

My 2014 iMac on the lastest release of Mojave keeps freezing and restarting. Disk Utility can’t repair the corruption. Looks like I’ll be spending the day reformatting my hard drive and restoring from backup.

Mail carrier leaves a postage due notice in the mailbox. He came to my door to do a pickup and didn’t even ring the doorbell (I was home). I wish I could say this degraded service is a result of the holidays.

WSJ reporting:
The Boy Scouts of America is considering filing for bankruptcy protection as it faces dwindling membership and escalating legal costs related to lawsuits over how it handled allegations of sex abuse.
Hard to stay relevant when every move alienates more people.
