On Rebel Spirit this week, Akilah, Elizabeth, and I explore every avenue to find Shaun Alexander, NFL legend and BCHS alum. In the process, we talk with folks about sports, politics, and the fear of speaking up. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...

This strategy was much more effective when they cast him as weird instead of dangerous.

A while back I made a patch that read "Trying" to remind myself that all I can really do is try. I made one for me, and then folks wanted them, and I made more but kept selling out. Now I've got plenty in stock and perhaps you need the same reminder. shop.dansinker.com/products/...

This might actually be the worst form on the internet. No basic data verification. Name, email and phone can be garbage. Address can be anything. No lockout after submit. It's just... trash? I know this should not be surprising but also it's sort of surprising. petition.theamericapac.org

Watching the Premier League on Saturday mornings with the nine-year-old is pretty much exactly what I'd imagine watching with your out-of-work coal miner uncle from the Midlands who's been drinking at the local since noon is like. When he yells at the ref I can hear it through the floor.

Descript really is a pretty incredible piece of software for working with audio and transcripts. Feels like magic still every time I use it.
