Just another idealist amongst a million other idealists. I Live in Colorado and don’t know anyone. I’m an old Punk. I enjoy horror books and films, cooking, and politics. I’m 40 & somehow started enjoying video games. Depression is a soul killing bitch

I see that! Tinybird. I couldn’t get it to work. In order to get your analytics working you have you go through a lot of buggy authorization commands. Somehow, I got it running and it’s pretty good. Thanks for telling me!

Kinda lost here. I want some form of analytics for my new Ghost blog. I’m not a marketer or into SEO. I’d like modern and simple and preferably with an iOS app. Google Analytics is not what I want. I’m thinking Plausible, Fathom, or some other self-hosted app Any recommendations?

"President Trump used his keynote speech at the first night of the Republican midterm convention to make an unusual promise: If his party keeps control of Congress after November, he will give every American adult a $5,000 "dividend." How is this not bribery!? A mob boss wouldn't get away with this

Ok. We got Dave a room (barring anything else going wrong) and are now waiting 5+ minutes at McDonald's. They just took our order and there are 4 cars ahead of us and they're short staffed. All he wants to do is take a bath. That's it. A bath. And the universe seems to be conspiring against us.

Yeats is even more prescient today: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity."
