iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Saw a man in downtown D.C. rocking and honest to god, well-worn Rays hat. Clearly a foreign agent. Huge respect for the commitment to the craft.

The New York Times has sent me three (3) separate email alerts over the last hour and a half to let me know that a dude died in the subway today. Guys…thank’s

I understand the “bonkers” framing in regards to prior polling. But I think that’s an entirely rational response to living in America in 2026.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

As a society, we should really grapple more with how we’ve created a culture that is capable of taking video of any little thing, then taking that into any number of incorrect contexts and using it to upend people’s lives

Electricity is 23% of global final energy but delivers 37% of useful energy and powers 46% of the global economy. We don't need to replace every fossil joule. We need to replace the services. A much smaller task. Great to see the @iea.org’s new Electrification report finally measure this.

I tried and failed to take a nap today so I could stay up for Cal-Clemson here on the east coast. Pray for me. Go Bears.

Kind of incredible that the money laundering aspect of this story has nothing to do with actual art

Fake. USDA. Seals. Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports. We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no? www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

Consider all the seemingly preemptive PR they’ve done around allegedly existential threats. Then consider the fact that it took public records requests and more than a year to get this information into the public sphere.

As Beck releases another album, I’m reminded that he continues to seem to exist outside of linear time, which was the entire frame of this review I wrote of a concert he played 8.5 years ago wtop.com/national/201...

Incredible. Anyway, this essay is now four years old www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

When it comes to baseball, it’s this drive, this need to speed up the game and its financial growth to meet the unquenchable hunger of capitalism, that worries me far more than the efficiency quants tinkering with the margins on the field. When those same private equity firms stripping and strangling newspapers and the American housing market are allowed to buy into 15% shares of MLB franchises, the eventual downstream effects on profit margins cannot possibly benefit the fans, or the product on the field.

Food insecurity didn't go away just because they stopped collecting the data. (Our chart will not be going away, either.)

This shit happens to me, like, once a week in D.C. I don’t know any other recourse than to just ride with hyperawareness at every intersection and to assume that any car or truck could turn across your lane at any time. Haven’t been hit yet, but I’ve had way too many needless close calls
