Midwesterner by birth and by choice. A work in progress.
Husband and parent. Talkative introvert. Definitely not haunted by the hidden intricacies and fractal nature of existence. Books, music, friendship, feelings, but mostly jokes.

Doug Martsch joining Yo La Tengo for Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" at Salt Shed last night was pretty much exactly what you would expect (complimentary).

About to get on the Sturgill Simpson train, thanks to a very generous and very last minute benefactor
Interior view of Allstate Arena before a Sturgill Simpson concert. The stage is set with lighting rigs, speakers, and musical equipment, with the band already performing under blue and red lights. A sparse crowd stands near the barricade at the front of the stage, while other concertgoers are seated in blue arena chairs. Overhead, large speaker arrays hang from the ceiling structure, which features exposed wooden beams. Banners for the Chicago Wolves hockey team and retired numbers hang above the stage

ALSO, and a lot closer to home for my family:

The new budget bill eliminated funding from the only federal program exclusively researching pancreatic cancer. Right now, there's a letter circulating in the House supporting restoration of the program. Contact your reps! p2a.co/vgOaKTI
Bold text on a purple background reads: “Urge your Representative to restore the federally-funded Pancreatic Cancer Research Program!” The phrase “Urge your Representative” is highlighted in teal. In the bottom right corner is the logo for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Got my first "order before May when we raise our prices big time because of your dumb government" email tonight (from Supernote/Ratta). Their phrasing breaks my heart -- just like here, it's the little folks who are going to feel the most pain
Screenshot from Ratta’s email: We are actively adjusting our supply chain to mitigate the long-term impact of these tariffs. These adjustments take time, especially with the new tariffs hitting everything from people to penguins, which makes the situation more complicated. It's going to be a tough time. The US has been one of the most important markets for Supernote over the past few years. We deeply appreciate our tolerant and accepting users here, who are willing to embrace a unique product like Supernote. Even though our small and growing brand is far from perfect, our US users have continued to support us with genuine sincerity, standing by us and witnessing our growth every step of the way. We are truly grateful. No matter what kind of turbulence occurs in the US market, as long as Ratta exists, we remain dedicated to serving our US users well. We commit to ensuring a normal pace of software releases and speeding up the process of increasing hardware and software openness. We will continue to monitor policy changes and keep you updated. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

#AirTag #Apple
#NoYouHaveAProblem
Apparently there’s a limit to how many AirTags you can associate with your account! A screenshot of an iOS error message that says, “Cannot Set Up This AirTag. To add this AirTag, open Find My and remove one or more AirTags or AirPods currently paired to your Apple ID.” Below the message, there is a red exclamation mark icon and an “OK” button.

Lily really is an icon
Lily, our tabby cat with green eyes, lounges in a sunbeam, her fur illuminated by the light. Her expression is calm and slightly inquisitive, with ears perked and whiskers fanned out. Lily's coat is a mix of warm brown, black stripes, and white fur around her muzzle and chest. In the background, a cozy woven blanket features classic pixel-art icons designed by Susan Kare. The blanket's black-and-white pattern contrasts with the cat's rich fur tones, and a hint of blue fabric is visible at the edge of the frame

We have always been at war with eastasia #Apple
A screenshot of Apple’s privacy webpage with a black background and white text. The heading “Privacy” appears in bold. Below, an Apple logo with a lock symbol is centered. The main text reads: “Privacy is a fundamental human right. It’s also one of our core values. Which is why we design our products and services to protect it. That’s the kind of innovation we believe in.”

The screenshot displays an interface from iOS Image Playgrounds app that allows the user to “Choose Starting Point” for customizing an image. The interface states: “Choose an image inspired by Geddy Lee as a starting point.” Below this text, a stylized, cartoon-like illustration of a character resembling Geddy Lee is shown, featuring long grayish-brown hair, glasses, and a friendly smile. A smaller circular inset shows a photograph of the actual Geddy Lee, highlighting the inspiration for the illustration. At the bottom, there’s a yellow-highlighted “Done” button in the upper-right corner and a “Choose Other Photo…” button at the bottom of the screen. Additional text notes: “Details like hairstyle, accessories, and skin tone may vary.”
