I want to shout out to my library, the free subscription that gives more than anything. My library has #books, #movies, #music, #boardgames, is #free, and is legal. I hope you use your #library so that you don’t lose all the great things it does for free. Mine also lends #bakingpans

In two weeks my last Microsoft subscription will expire. I’ve cancelled Game Pass, traded in my Xboxes, and disabled the renewal on my family Office 365 subscription. I’m not anti-Microsoft, but I am anti-subscription-bloat. I didn’t ask for all those products to cost 50% more so this is goodbye

Living with the effects of Covid inflation has had me looking at a few interesting stats in my life. I earn 10% less in spending power than I did in 2015. I am paid 20% more (straight numerically) than I was in 2015. data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpic...

I love the myth of the self-made man. Look at me, I invented language, law, government and human rights. I wasn’t even raised by wolves, I conceived myself and was raised by my own two hands.

I am reminded again that there are three classes of service on American Airlines; economy, economy+ (aka business) and economy++(first). On most non-US airlines they understand that the higher classes of fare are for people who are paying to not deal with the pain of traveling. Not AA, UA, or Delta

I’m on a one month trip to India. One thing I love in my room is the towel art.

Air pollution in India is a tragedy. Hundreds of millions are impacted.

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, I really love to watch them roll…

Day and night this roundabout abutting the Shangri-la and Le Meridien in Dehli always has activity
