Can’t decide about seeing The Odyssey this weekend at Alamo, or waiting for time to go to San Antonio for 70mm IMAX. Feel like spoilers don’t matter so we wait. Or maybe it’s just a movie and I’m seriously overthinking it. 🍿

I flipped through this book while at BookPeople the other day. Didn’t end up buying it but snapped a photo to remember. It brought back a lot of memories of going to Liberty Lunch. A special place and time in hindsight, simpler and uncorrupted. No phones, no cameras.

Love that Joanna Stern is still making these kind of videos now that she’s indie. Wearing cameras to train future robots feels demeaning and maybe not even useful.

Sharing this heads-up about downtime for Lillihub as it is migrated. If you haven’t checked out Lillihub before, it’s an alternative web interface to Micro.blog with a bunch of features. (Also look at the design of @heyloura’s blog!)

Working on an author screen in Epilogue. Our database of books is pretty cluttered, as you can see in this video, but overall I think this UI is going to work. I’ll ship it soon.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis
I came across this quote recently, in a different context, and I keep getting drawn back to it. I think it captures something that I’ve tried to write about several times over the last year.
What do we do when we encounter someone who is so convinced of their own righteousness that they justify attacking people, even to the point of lying, painting a false picture of us and the people we work with? I honestly don’t know.
