Damn the new @Roku home screen is garbage. All I want is my apps, nothing else. No picks, no recommendations, no "destinations". I own multiple Rokus but will never buy another if this isn't made customizable.

It’s deeply important that you, as an adult, read children’s literature. There is wisdom in Lewis Carroll & Nesbit & Narnia that can only be fully grasped with age; they are a powerful tonic to protect against the “mind of metal & wheels” that is the curse of our times.
I'm thinking of writing an essay about how I read more children's lit now. As Flannery O'Connor once observed, I'm much younger now than when I was young. And "seriousness" is something I now interpret in a different way.

if you’re ever confused about who are the bad guys in real life, just ask yourself, “do I know of any groups that are attempting to de-fund libraries and ban books from school shelves?” and if the answer is yes—those folks are the baddies.

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

I keep seeing advice on how to read more books more quickly. What we need, in our social media age that encourages us to see the surface of a thing and then skip to the next, is to read more slowly and more deeply.

Silicon Valley types are wild—they heard us say “please automate jobs so we have more time to make art” and said “here’s a computer that makes all the art :)” it’s like if wizards existed but they were the dumbest people in the whole world

While the US term "turtle-heading" is pretty on-target, the British term "touching cloth" is so much better...subtle, with an air of mystery...
