🔗 The Lost Idealism of Heartland Rock

Staples of classic rock radio in every era - are these musics on the verge of rediscovery by today's generations a-la Fleetwood Mac was a couple years back?

🔗 Alcaraz won't play at French 2026

Devastating turn of events for the tournament.

🔗 “I love the em dash”

I also love the em dash. It’s been a part of my personal style for decades—I don’t know where I picked up the habit—maybe Joyce? Dickinson? I believe em dashes can stand in for any other mark. I used to know the unicode shortcut to correctly render an em dash, and I also knew the difference between an “en” and an “em.”

🔗 Non-citizens Don’t Vote

I don’t know why people buy the nonsense on this issue. But the true prevalence of non-citizens voting has been looked into by many states. It just doesn’t happen very often at all. Certainly not to the extent “they’re” trying to sell.

🔗 Creating files in macOS List View

I've chosen List view as my go-to Finder view in recent months. It is a good fit for how I like to navigate folders, being able to keep several within view, but drop in and out of the contents of each, without changing the overall directory level. I was formerly a Column view person, navigating via the arrow keys, but I've found that using multiple Finder windows spatially, a window per List view folder, works even better, and allows me to better keep my bearings.
