Deep Ellum’s “Darkest Hour”
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quora answer on biology of that anti-diversity screed: “the argument in the document is, overall, despicable trash”
#musicMonday Clueless soundtrack (1995). skip Counting Crows but 2nd half is good 90s; start with Need You Around
dumb time zone mistake made me miss the first half (& 4 goals!), but all’s well that ends well: a deserved trophy for #NED in #EURO2017
Waxahatchee
ordered some eclipse shades. Amazon’s a wasteland of knock-off junk, or sold out; this place seems legit.
Stone Brewing’s “W00t Stout”

The Onion: “Well, I’m not even three days into giving optimism a shot, and it already sucks”
Taibbi: “An alien crashed on earth & given a 2-minute tutorial on dealing w/reporters would have done a better job”
for #musicMonday: Nikka Costa’s Everybody Got Their Something (2001). standouts: So Have I For You; Like A Feather
summer of Miyazaki #12: Secret World of Arrietty (2010) – book adaptation, like Howl’s; good story & characters in another interesting world
summer of Miyazaki #11: Ponyo (2008) – Little Mermaid adaptation some fun moments, but it’s too simple, even juvenile, to be a favorite
Samuel Adams’ “Thirteenth Hour”

considering adding Slack reaction-pic eval to our hiring process. “no, we don’t whiteboard code, but suppose someone has a work anniversary”
Gessen: “queer rights are anything but a distraction: they are… the frontier in the global turn toward autocracy”
“A Privacy Choice”. I agree with the sentiment; my choice is nonprofit, open source, & updated more often: Firefox
#musicMonday Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols (1977). standouts: God Save the Queen, Sub-Mission

really gross, propaganda via conglomerate ownership of local TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc if you watch or follow @cbsaustin … maybe stop. (Full list of Sinclair stations to avoid like the poison they are: on Wikipedia.)

#goldcup2017
summer of Miyazaki #10: Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) – one of our favorites, with all the great characters, magic, & themes you’d want
summer of Miyazaki #9: The Cat Returns (2002) – a stretch since he didn’t write or direct, but a favorite years ago; still really cute & fun
summer of Miyazaki #8: Princess Mononoke (1997) – a classic, but sprawling storylines & an ambiguous ending made it not my favorite tbh
