  Okay. In a bookstore overheard a child say she was going to finance camp this summer. I was sure I miss heard until she repeated herself. Couldn’t have been more than 7-8 yrs old. What’s happening?

  Do any of you have a favorite comic books podcast? I’d like to hear about what is good and new coming out. I have a few I’ve really been enjoying and don’t really know how to find out new stuff.

  "Attention isn’t a single faculty that switches on when we ask it to. It’s a set of layered systems that mature on different timelines. The voluntary, top-down layer — the one that allows an adult to peel himself away from the television to write an essay about attention itself, as I’m doing now — is the one that develops last. That’s why ten-year-olds like Oliver aren’t ready for the barrage of stimuli a smartphone puts in front of them..." https://walledgardenedu.substack.co...

  I know sharing posts from substack is an iffy thing here but this is a really great post on the recent hack of Canvas and the negative impact of "educational technology" on learning, especially at the college level. Really good stuff here: Let’s be clear: "educational technology “solutions” were never about delivering a better education. They were about selling hardware and software." https://clairepotter.substack.com/p/kill-canvas-now

  Saw Bill Callahan last night at the Haw River Ballroom. He called the audience “delightful” but really he was the one who was delightful. The music was great and way more rock n roll than I expected. Legendary drummer Jim White really took the entire show up a few notches.

  "“It’s making me dumber for sure,” the fintech software developer told me. “It’s like when we got cellphones and stopped remembering phone numbers, but it’s grown to me mentally outsourcing ‘thinking’ in general. I feel my critical thinking and ability to sit and reason about a problem or a design has degraded because the all-knowing-dalai-llama is just a question away from giving me his take. ... ... https://wessdaniels.micro.blog/2026/05/13/its-making-me-dumber-for.html

  Hey all, I’m looking for a web-based bookmark manager, preferably web-based for syncing and sharing but wouldn’t mind an app to go along with it. I want something really simple and built to last like to use, allows for tagging and saving articles, and would be nice if it’s federated or open-source. [Would like to know if it has AI and whether it can be turned off or not.] Got any suggestions?

  Just had breakfast with the new Executive Director of Quaker Voluntary Service (A Service Year Program for folks in their twenties). I enjoyed meeting Greg finally and hearing a bit about how he envisions the program growing. It's a great program if you know anyone who might be interested in it next year (typically folks join right after college for that transition year). https://quakervoluntaryservice.org

  @penaddict Any idea if the Retro 51 2025 Pen from your shop would work with energel refills? I thought I saw something online that said Retro 51s could be made to work with those refills but seems a little uncertain. I’m still on my hunt for a good pen that uses that refill. I tried a tactile turn but it wasn’t for me. Excited for spoke restocking too.

  FYI - Been going through and finding where I can shut AI off in apps that are force-feeding it. I believe that AI should be used with consent first. I'll post things here as I find them:
