Pretty Good Hat

H: Do you think you could help me with a quarantine haircut? I was thinking we could try to go with a bob and –

Me: Heck yes! We’ll cut that ponytail off, dye it red in the bathroom sink, and and go on the run, babe! This will be awesome!

Friends, I did not get the gig.

I’m seeing pictures of the RNC set up on the lawn of the White House and recalling when Fox News utterly lost its shit because Michelle Obama planted arugula.

A view across a lake, with clouds and trees reflected in the water

The water was quiet and still yesterday morning, with just a little smokey haze. It was a beautiful hour of paddling on the lake.

Two episodes in, I’ve decided to be Ted Lasso when I grow up.

🎮 After hearing more chat about it on this Monday’s Waypoint Radio, I started playing Remnant: From the Ashes again. I had tried it previously on console and found it frustratingly hard, but I’m glad I picked it back up on PC; it’s really good!

I’m sending up the M-x-help signal, emacs friends. I’m using doom and vim mode: occasionally emacs gets stuck with s- as a prefix to anything I enter, and I can’t figure out how to exit that mode. Trying to enter a vi command results in emacs thinking I’m typing s-:, and it similarly wrecks emacs chords. It’s weird. If I try to just close the window, emacs puts up the close confirmation dialog, and I can’t even answer that because a y or n gets prefixed with s! shrug

Screenshot of a package being tracked. It hasn’t moved in days.

If I promise the postmaster general that this isn’t a ballot, do you think he’ll find a way to get this package moving again?

Update to my micro.blog Friday Afternoon Coffee Buddies: I have switched to India Pale Ale. Do with that knowledge what you will.
