Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll Dockerize everything.” Now they have [at least] two problems.

feeling proud lately that my subscriptions help support the good work of The Atlantic and The Guardian. 46 days
Saturday beer: Clown Shoes’ The Good, the Bad, & the Unidragon
⭐️⭐️⭐️
not usually a big Clown Shoes fan – they just make styles I’m not into – but this is all right
🍺
Maciej Cegłowski makes the case for smaller, local races being more worthwhile of your attention & contributions, even as the presidential race dominates media coverage day after day (after day after day). and the sooner, the better
Saturday beer: (512) Brewing Company’s Whiskey Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter

saved this for the holiday weekend, and it was… fine. (that is, a little disappointing vs. how special I’d imagined it would be.)
🍺
O! Mine ass, I have laugheth it off
here’s hoping the latest scandal hurts Trump’s campaign as much as it should. meanwhile, there are a dozen other races closer to you, that you can make a bigger difference in (for example, here in TX). channel your outrage, anxiety, and money to those.
(psst, it’s Bandcamp Friday again today. support the musicians who still can’t tour yet!) 🎵
I am almost a little too excited about The Tournament of Books’ Super Rooster. not least because I’ve actually read some of these (due mainly to past ToBs) 📚
new tunes for your Tuesday: Future Me Hates Me, by a new favorite band of mine, The Beths. standout track: You Wouldn’t Like Me. props once again to the Sound Opinions podcast for the tip. 🎵
Saturday beer: Avery Brewing’s The Reverend

a superb quadrupel.

thanks to these handy instructions from @jamesvandyne, my personal site(s) are now running on renewable energy in Digital Ocean’s Frankfurt datacenter 🌱
loved seeing the news that Powell’s won’t sell through Amazon anymore (no direct link; see the August 26 message). showed my support by ordering a couple books from them today. one new & one from their great used selection 📚
finished Home Before Dark (Apple TV+) this weekend, it was good. the 9-year-old investigative journalist is based on a real person, though the story itself isn’t. A good mystery drama; we’re looking forward to season 2 someday.

when the pandemic struck I put my fairly souped-up (company-provided) MacBook Pro to work doing Folding@home computations. glad I did, but between the fan noise, heat, & wear on the machine, I decided to stop once I got to a million “points”
is it Bandcamp Friday yet? (yes, for 12 more hours, Bandcamp will pass along their cut to artists, who dearly need it since they can’t tour) 🎵
emphasizing the “new” in New Tunes Tuesday is figurative, this week’s pick is Are You Experienced? by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. yes it has a bunch of mega-hits you’ve been sick of for years but it’s just really good. give a listen to I Don’t Live Today, loud as you want 🎵
new post: The Fox, in which we have a visitor (it came again this morning; seems to be searching for the best nap spot)
beyond excited to finally have our season tickets (ahem, “membership”) bought for the inaugural Austin FC season next year! this pic shows our approximated view! (now shove off, COVID) ⚽️

hey, it’s Tuesday! my new-tunes recommendation: Sad13’s Slugger. the solo project of Speedy Ortiz’s Sadie Dupuis, this will hold you over until her new album is out in September. standout track: Line Up. (bonus: her site’s URL sad13.horse) 🎵

take it from me, a t-shirt connoisseur (I used to be pro, in fact): these are good t-shirts. inexpensive for the quality you’ll get from Cotton Bureau, and a fundraiser to boot? done
for this week’s new tunes Tuesday allow me to introduce you to Porridge Radio and their fine debut, Every Bad. standout track: Sweet 🎵
hi, this pregame picture of Chicago Red Stars and USWNT players Julie Ertz and Casey Short wrecked me, okay, good night.

I love Bandcamp, and was really happy to learn that they’re doing well financially. dear Bandcamp: keep slow-burning and never sell out
