Made a very unnecessary but fun change to the open graph images on Almanac: they now have backdrop images which should show up here if I did it right https://rknight.me/almanac/movies/2023-08-13-hamilton/

@cory Wow, setting aside the article itself, what an amazing website for interconnecting a book catalog with one’s notes and writing about books. Love it!

I know language is fluid and I try not to be overly prescriptivist, but I am never going to be able to accept “learnings” as a valid noun. I’ve tried, but I just can’t, and I need to accept that about myself.

@niclake Interesting! I’ve done the first, but not the second. My pull-down-and-type-to-search muscle memory is quite strong. 😕

@niclake 🤔 but since most things I access through Safari 🤔

@niclake It might be an interesting combo to reinstall the apps, remove them from all suggestions and search results, and then logout of everything on Safari. 🤔

On a more serious note, I hope that it’s clear that I welcome all blogs. And I greatly appreciate the time anyone takes to write up their personal blogging process. Those process posts help so many people when they are attempting to dip into blogging!

Thank you, @robb and everyone else who takes that time!

@cory @bentsai 🤣 Minnesota guy here, but it looks to be an exciting series no matter what!

@bentsai @cory It's not so fun playing from behind constantly. Joker in the third period was beautiful.

bjhess,
@bjhess@social.lol avatar

@cory @bentsai I hear officiating complaints. 🤷‍♂️ Generally I’m not savvy enough to understand why one shoulder to the defender’s chest is an offensive foul and the other isn’t (and the other is a defensive foul). (This sort of thing has soured me on the NBA as I get older.)

Last night Minnesota almost didn’t have an offense. Multiple people on the floor at a time seemed scared to shoot! Could be that Denver has turned up their D. They certainly made adjustments that Minnesota hasn’t.

bjhess,
@bjhess@social.lol avatar

@cory @bentsai It is amazing to me that suddenly the Denver bench is outperforming the Minny bench. And the defensive player of the year cannot do anything to stop the MVP. (Though this was known coming in.) And the sixth man of the year hardly played the prior game?!

bjhess,
@bjhess@social.lol avatar

@cory @bentsai Joker was pretty amazing last night!

Oh! The moment when Malone lost his s**t about a non-call charge, and then Denver got 3 charge calls in about 5 minutes was savvy. I was pretty proud that I said, “I wonder how many charge calls Denver will get out of that technical?”

(I’m not saying they shouldn’t have been charges! The Denver team knew what was up after that. Minnesota seemed to have no idea what was up.)

bjhess,
@bjhess@social.lol avatar

@cory @bentsai 💯 - at least they took back ANT’s technical for staring at a player. It all evens out!

@alabut @goodenoughllc What a lovely post; a lovely story. It’s wild how the world has changed in terms of the acceptance of computers and “nerdiness.” Thank you for sharing it!
