Stayed up late drinking mead. I am so inebriated, I’m typing “inebriated” into a tiny window on social media. I get bonus points for no typos.

Took the kids to the Renaissance Festival and this is the only pic I got. Alexander had a blast. Not so sure about the camel.

Peacemaker continues to be the one show where I watch the opening credits. The dancing is hypnotic.

Wet Leg. And they’re awesome. Japanese Breakfast was good but this is straight up rock n roll energy.

Heading to see Wet Leg and Japanese breakfast tonight: two tours on one stage. Pretty sweet

Started the 7yo in Cub Scouts, like I need another obligation in my week, but it's going well so far, and he's having a blast.

You couldn't have a podcast with me and @sladner.bsky.social without talking about...interviewing. Here's Sam talking about talking about interviewing --- or interviewing about talking? We don't know! 🤪 Episodes of "Off the Path with Sam and Steve" come out **this Friday** so find out for yourself!

This is what's good for you today:
A 68-song playlist that is about half new music on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Last[dot]fm, Qobuz, Spotify, Tidal, and YouTube Music 🎧 #NewMusic #NowPlaying #Music shiveryourtimbers.ca/blog/schmutz...
A playlist thumbnail image that is simple hand-drawn fantasy showing a large, transparent, pyramidal structure containing a singular flowering plant with red petals and a pale yellow stem. They sit atop a circular disc sitting on top of a small cloud. 3 identical structures float in the distant background of space and an even more distant earth-like planet with a partially blue atmosphere. Deeper space fades from dark navy to a black blanketed with stars.

I use Eagle. It captures screenshots and then organizes them as well.
