I mostly got off lucky with the macOS Tahoe beta 1 install, so much so that I’m nervous about upgrading to beta 2. I’m going to wait a while. Don’t want to risk breaking anything else this week.

A NYT article from last year about 34th Ave in Jackson Heights where "a stretch of 26 blocks, running east to west, has been closed to cars from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day since 2020." Before we moved to Flushing when I was in 5th grade, we lived on 92nd St and 34th Ave. What a difference that must make. I love it when cities take chances like this, and the people in the neighborhood seem to love it.

I Love My Daily Sports Shows: Baseball And Love Island

I Love My Daily Sports Shows: Baseball And Love Island

In the winter, my television mostly stays off. The winter is when my brain is at its best. I am reading. I am writing. I am maybe watching a couple episodes of a show a week. But this feels crazy to type right now, at this moment in the summer, because I currently have a minimum of four hours of television I must watch every single day. I do not have time to read or have hobbies or do anything else, because I am too busy being locked the hell in. 

Television has been my best friend for several weeks because of two shows that come on every day. The first show is baseball. I am a Phillies fan, and baseball teams play 162 games over the course of six months every year. I watch most of them. But then I am also committed to another kind of sport called Love Island.

Bernie Sanders says if AI is making companies more productive with less, people should get a 4-day workweek. Makes sense to me.

We were just rewatching Gilded Age season 2, and there’s a whole section of the plot about unions and working “only” 8-hour days. It’s about time for another advance.
