One of the nicest things I did in 2019 was remove Google Analytics from all of my websites and toys and tools. Now I no longer give Google info about my readers/users and it turns out I didn't need to know who was using my website with any level of granularity.
UPS has become a subsidiary of the Amazon returns department it seems.
Shoutout to @macpowerusers for turning me onto @craftdocsapp. I’ve been saving/authoring content in various apps (Ulysses, Bear, Notion, and Day One), but no clear vision for how to tie them together via “contextual project documents”. Craft is the solution. It’s a revelation.
Posted this on a mustachian group and half the comments were “how did you make this graph” and the other half were “you make too little money”. Istg the unawareness of so much of the FIRE community to what an actual median salary is drives me up the wall.
Pleased to report that the problems on my computer with external USB devices has been resolved. My LG UltraFine displays were acting as my "hub," but were super unreliable. Got an OWC Thunderbolt Dock, and all is now well!

I’m pained to discover that @HBOMax only has English dubs of the Studio Ghibli collection. I was really hoping for the originals in Japanese. (boffosocko.com/?p=55784972)

Looks like @SlackHQ doesn't want to come back from winter vacation either.

How did you get yourself in this situation during eternal Caturday?

Google workers are unionizing (!!) In the announcement, they're calling out controversial government contracts like Project Maven, and the sudden firing of @timnitGebru in December:

Hilarious fun at the day job - major UK hosted EU science organisations taken offline because they're no longer hosted in the EU. Some folks at the EURID (.eu domain controller) are about to get an angry phone call from some folks at the European Commission.

The very worrisome question is why all 10 living former Secretaries of Defense, including Trump officials Esper and Mattis, chose to speak out now. What is the scenario t...
My favorite holiday discovery is The Repair Shop, which you can find one season of on Netflix. There is just something special about skilled specialists, deep in their craft, bringing memories back to life that I find utterly delightful. Highly recommended.
What a fascinating inside look into a mind who cannot fathom that what he wants to be true simply is not. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…

Is Pixar going to make a trilogy of afterlife movies? What’s next?
