Hello,
I’m back after finishing the Fire Academy. Overall it was a great experience. I’ll share my experience here at a later date.
Are you addicted to YouTube?
Because I am. I found a Safari extension called UnTrap that lets you customize what you want and don’t want to see. Now when I go to YouTube on my phone from Safari, it takes me straight to my library page. I can only see my playlists and watch history. It’s the only way to avoid the algorithm. I can’t see suggested videos or comments either. So when I use YouTube now, it’s deliberate. I have it on my phone and laptop. Highly recommend.

Contemporary of Robert Williams and much of the same vibes: Hot rods, comix, beatniks, and sci-fi. You’ll dig it.

Here’s some good YouTube videos
Down the pipe: I’m working on a podcast about an Ayn Rand book called The Romantic Manifesto. I’ll be reading some passages and giving some thoughts about it. Expect to hear that later rather than sooner. I’m going to publish some fiction on this newsletter this year as well, time permitting with the FD hiring process. Eventually, I’ll be back on this bitch like business as usual.
Back on this bitch business as usual… welcome back goat
