@johnzajac Adam Curtis says as much in this podcast I link/quote/excerpt here: daniel.industries/2025/07/06/what-i-might-be-seeing-was-the-retreat-of-people-into-themselves-because-they-were-anxious-and-alone/

I don't quote the back-and-forth about phones/tech, but his final response: "So if you really want to get rid of what you’ve been talking about [phone escapism, basically], you’ve got to change society"

In honor of the Oasis reunion tour, I'm listening to Teenage Fanclub.

A couple of good comments on this effusive video:

"What really blows my mind about Oasis is how phenomenal an Alex Lifeson interview would be."

"Of all the rock bands they are certainly one of them"

It's amazing how many major websites' layouts break from a simple default browser font size change.

@koen_hufkens @lkngrrr I went down this rabbit hole for a few minutes and I'm having a hard time believing these are made in TX. The company address is a residence outside of Houston. The website says they are a young company but it looks like the site was designed in the mid-00s (no shade, I'm here for it if it is indeed a newer site). This looks like a great new source for various parts I just wish I could get the skinny on production.

After listening to a lot of Yes throughout my life, just tonight realized I'd never listened to anything from 1974-1980 -- Relayer, Going for the One, Tormato, Drama -- not a single listen.

This morning I left Edmond, OK at 06:00 and drove to Possum Kingdom Lake. It was the most serene driving I've done in decades. I didn't have to touch the cruise control for 30-minute chunks! And there were more cows than I've seen in a single day in my life.
