Thin Desires Are Eating Your Life
The defining experience of our age seems to be hunger.
We're hungry for more, but we have more than we need.
We're hungry for less, while more accumulates and multiplies.
We're hungry and we don't have words to articulate why.

The making of Trump’s presidential library
Historically, presidential libraries have been used as research hubs to house documents and artifacts from a president’s time in the White House. They’re also a living monument to a president’s legacy.
Less than a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, planning for his presidential library is underway, with $50 million already raised from undisclosed donors.
Co-host Colby Itkowitz speaks with national political investigative reporter Michael Kranish about how presidential libraries and museums are usually created and why Trump’s private fundraising foundation could allow history to be misrepresented at his future library.
Today’s show was produced by Thomas Lu and mixed by Sean Carter. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick. Thanks to Dan Eggen.

One more thing, people are posting Trump's vicious eulogy for Reiner and his wife. Why are they helping him piss on the fresh memory of the life of these people who gave us so much. Stop and think before you express your outrage at Trump, and realize you're giving him exactly what he wants, and you tarnish the memory of good-hearted and generous people. Just don't do it.

Nick Heer on locked Apple accounts:
Given this tight control, the bar for locking a user out of their Apple Account and, to some extent, out of their devices should be unbelievably high.
As an aside, I use iCloud but also (less frequently) copy my photos to Dropbox and Google Photos. Too important to only have one synced copy.
