This is a new one: Bought resale tickets for a baseball game on Ticketmaster and the tickets never showed up. Ended up getting better seats for the same price from StubHub, but now I have to deal with getting my refund from TM.

Yesterday I tried to simplify a tedious process and built my first Mac Shortcut. Even learned a little AppleScript. It kinda works. Ask me nothing because I don't actually know what I'm doing.

Today's Wordle word was also an answer in today's NYT crossword puzzle. Wonder how common that is.

If this were happening under a Democratic pres, Fox would be on it 24 hours a day and there would be nonstop hearings by Republicans in Congress. Under Trump? Whatever dear leader says!

For @southwestreview.bsky.social I wrote about Thomas Bunstead’s thoughtful new translation of Marina Closs’s “The Depopulation,” a great novel exploring how a Guaraní community overseen by Spanish Jesuits in the 1500s reacts to the arrival of a man claiming to be the Son of God.

Living most of my life on the west coast, I saw 25 Grateful Dead shows over 3 years (1993–1995) and so far only 26 Phish shows over 32 years (1994–now). Funny how being a husband/father/ostensible grown-up changes things.

"We love America!" say Republicans while actively trying to turn the country into a combo of North Korea (unaccountable dictatorship), Russia (corrupt oligarchy), and Iran (religious zealotry), with a hearty soupçon of Nazi Germany for old times' sake.
