Unfortunately I don’t know who to credit for this, but I want a stack of a couple of hundred of these cards. For starters.


has a few tunes that I really enjoy. They use synths in a way that is both modern and also harkens back to the 80s.

Hadn’t heard this one before. A simple tune, with a great synth driven melody.

Bought an air fryer yesterday (Philips Avance Collection XXL) on a recommendation of a friend. I always thought of them as those gadgets that you buy, use for a week and then stow away in a dark place never to be seen again, until you sell them for a thruppence at a garage sale five to ten years later.

I may have been proven wrong. Initial tests over a couple of days have been very encouraging.

Tests will continue over the next several days, but I’m surprised.

CoSo iOS app keeps logging me out, for some reason.

So, are all nerds like me excited about launch tomorrow?

Because I am! Can’t wait for the experience, exploring new places, learning about the new lore!

It’ll be amazing!

Star Wars: Andor is the best SW series since The Mandalorian, but it is relentlessly bleak, offering no catharsis.

I understand the motivation for it in the context of its narrative arch, but it's still one pretty damn depressing series.

Watching Columbo S6E1: Fade in to Murder, with William Shatner as the murderer.

He was perfect as Kirk, but in just about everything else he comes across as just William Shatner, like in this Columbo episode. I think I can see Shatner’s ego affecting Peter Falk’s performance too, just a little bit.

It would be interesting to know how things went down behind the scenes, filming this episode.

“I pressed down the mental accelerator. The old lemon throbbed fiercely. I got an idea.”

Well, this was a simple, but quite delicious elk mince meatloaf with funnel chanterelles, stuffed with feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

Watching "Is That Black Enough for You?!?" on Netflix.

A very interesting documentary examining "the history, craft and legacy of African American cinema" (Wikipedia).

Highly recommended!

If the default browser experience has too many elements for your needs, go ahead and enable the "Ostrich Mode". It'll remove some of the bonus elements. You can always re-enable them later.

From the CounterSocial User Guide:

"For a minimal desktop layout, visit Edit Profile > Preferences to enable “Ostrich Mode”. This mode will remove the “extras” including the news ticker, CoSoCom emergency radio scanner, and live news station feeds."
