YouTube’s algorithm already promotes right wing content non-stop. It’ll only get worse now that they are going to allow election misinformation. I’ll be cancelling YouTube Premium will use YouTube a lot less as a result.

Playing around a bit with Lemmy. It’s basically federated reddit. It’s pretty neat that you can subscribe to communities from other federated instances. I hope this picks up and spreads. It’s a great idea.

Reddit is basically killing off third party apps with horrible API pricing, which is only what made it tolerable after the horrible redesigns. They are making the mistakes of both digg and Twitter in such a short amount of time.

The writers of Ted Lasso nailed the ending.

I would really appreciate it if someone would buy the Cheers bar for me. Thanks!

Sad news of the passing of another St. Louis icon. Rest in peace to Tina Turner.

Well, $218 later, my dog has medicine. Hopefully it helps.

My poor dog has been so itchy the past couple of weeks. It’s only gotten worse since then. He’s been miserable for a few days now. Seeing the vet this morning. Hopefully they can provide him with relieve because nothing I do seems to help.

A sad day in St. Louis and St. Louis Sports. Rest in Peace to The Commish.

I almost always use my iPad with the Smart Keyboard or on a stand that can be raised and lowered with my standing desk. I forget how nice it feels to just hold in your hand to read or browse the internet.

I’ve been waiting to see what Conan does next on TV. It seems we have our answer in Conan O’Brien Must Go.

I heard 10th Ave.1957 for the first time today and now I’ve listened to it four times. What a song. 🎵

Flowers on my lunch time walk.

I missed that Proton VPN started offering a browser extension. On top of the Proton Pass that’s in beta, they are really hitting the nail on the head of new products I specifically want.

If anyone has a Bluesky invite and wants to send it along, let me know. I love Mastodon (and micro.blog) but also love playing with new things.

Atmosphere has a new album out today.

I’m so happy that the Cardinals have unveiled a uniform sponsor. That will surely help an awful team get better. Get bent, DeWitt. 

Growing up a Cardinals fan in St. Louis meant Mike Shannon was the soundtrack to your summer. So sad to hear about his passing. A baseball and St. Louis legend.

The Springfield Cardinals will wear Springfield Cashew Chickens gear. You better believe I bought a hat.

Do yourself a favor and check out Jury Duty on FreeVee. It’s really good. From Wikipedia:

The series chronicles the inner workings of a jury trial in the US through the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego, who is unaware that his jury duty summons was not official, and that everyone on the jury aside from him is an actor. Everything that happens, inside and outside the courtroom, is planned.

I grew up during peak cable TV, before channel drift took hold, so this video about why cable TV networks are all the same now was a fascinating watch.

I already use Proton’s services, so I’m excited to hear about the beta launch of Proton Pass.

Who could have predicted the St. Louis Cardinals would have a pitching problem this year?

NARRATOR: Everyone. Everyone could have predicted it.
