I do as well. But for just listening day-to-day or in the car, I've found that listening to albums helps to improve my attention span. My brain isn't being asked to change its rhythms and mood over and over again.

Instead it seems to settle in and experience the art at a different level.

Well, they also made minimalist barefoot shoes at that time. I suppose that was the first evolution ... remember the finger shoes?

Also. I'm in my office right now, and I'm absolutely barefoot. No apologies.

I never liked to run, but I did do the barefoot backpacking thing. That was in my 20s. Now, I'm in my 40s and have graduated to zero drop shoes with a wide food box.

I think that’s because, just like the story of Babel, our desire to unite has the underlying currents of uniting those in power to increase their power on the backs of those without.

Like you said, same story.

You’re the second person to mention it. I don’t have that on. I need to go in and set it.

I hear that. I locked in my name after deleting it … I have like 32 followers after having almost 4k at one time.

A lot of my friends left. It looks like some came back. We’ll see. I’d rather stay away, but man … it just gets so boring.

That’s fair. I like Bluesky so much, but I keep gaining followers, but little engagement. It’s frustrating.
