iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Of course I’m appalled by the story out of SUNY Ithaca. Yes, there are a lot of people that I love that are really angry and rightfully so. Yes, I know that they believe that my silence is complicity.

I have been interviewing at a couple of different places recently, and part of my reasoning is that pitching clients for our services has become a grind. It's not that the potential clients don't need help, they do. It's that they don't understand the depth of their issues. Insert Tolstoy quote...

There is a new segment challenge happening in my area. The issue with it is that it is in the middle of suburbia with zero mass transit to the area. Do I ride my bike 20 miles (largely on rail trail) to run it or do I say, "nah" and work on my stuff closer to home?

Yeah, I have a peanut butter sourdough proofing for tomorrow. It is either going to be spectacular or is going to be one of the worst things I’ve ever made. There is no middle ground here.

Nobody Beats The Wiz Commercial - 1985

Part of me wants the Mets (or the Yankees) to sign him largely so t7L can make “Nobody Beats The Miz” t-shirts (or the Yankee equivalent of The 7 Line, I guess, I mean, I don’t know if that’s a thing) because that would be fun & retro for fans of a certain age. youtu.be/1y6MUPkDufU?...

One of the colleges in Troy has a food pantry. I saw it while I was on a run over the weekend and it was heartbreaking.

There’s an account on the ‘Gram about businesses in small towns & the person behind it thinks that the problems stem from things aside from the businesses themselves. In my experience, small businesses run into capital and real estate issues. It’s that simple. They have money problems.

Two recent things from @ncprnews.bsky.social caught my eye. 1. Some residents think building a data center in Massena will lead to job growth. 2. Some residents think that building prisons is a good thing because it amounts to jobs. Yup.

Just watched my @thebravesfc.bsky.social win 5-0 while doing a 15 km cool down on the bike. After that match was over, switched to Cambridge hosting Wimbledon. Cambridge had a equalizer in stoppage time. It made me happy because Wimbledon supporters were made sad.

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

If reporting is correct that Man City were not guilty on 1 out of the 115 charges, that's some great trolling there by the footballing gods. Still, makes it all the more incredible that Chelsea got away practically scot free.

I laughed really hard at this. I like run clubs in that they are getting people out there and I dislike run clubs cause I don’t like other people.

There have been a number of articles about how Americans are drinking less, using the same report, and they all point out that Gen X is the only group that isn't. First of all, leave us alone. Secondly, stop trying to engage with us. Thirdly, whatever.

Liz Phair played locally (no, because the last two times I had tickets for her, she cancelled, and I had seen her play a private fundraiser pre pandemic) and two different friends shared her playing "Mesmerizing" which has become the song that I sing to George when we're on a walk. (Paying the tax.)

A gorgeous Shiba Inu sits on the grass. She is mesmerizing. Paying the dog tax.

In this Western Massachusetts town, it was a tradition: plate of gluten-free toast, big glass of soy milk, then over to the old lesbian bar for a little N95 time. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

Ted Lasso S4 is, man, I don’t know. The episodes being longer is unhelpful. The comedy with heart is gone in favor of vague memories of Thirtysomething. The characters have been flanderized and I have zero reason to root for some of them. Plus “Irish names are spelled weird” is just played out.

Sean Manaea is wearing a "New York Is Love" Mets Pride shirt after pitching six solid innings to beat the Texas Rangers, the MLB's only team without a Pride night. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps not.

I don't know why this change has happened but I have heard She Wants Revenge's "Tear Her Apart" three times in the last 18 hours. Is it being used for something again? Like someone's angsty TikTok or as the intro music for the Longhorns' press conferences?

It's 46°F/7°C where I live this morning. The sun is bright. The sky is blue. I should motivate myself to enjoy the weather and get a run in. I am recovering from turf toe. My lack of motivation is related to the limping around and ice bucket in my near future. I will get it done.

My son and I were at a bar and he checked his phone as his work thread was “blowing up”. I asked him if he was getting paid for this, and he said “no.” I told him do not give them unpaid labor. I have never seen a bartender more enthusiastically nod from a conversation they were overhearing.
