Got lots of setting up to do now with the release of #elementaryOS 7.
The whole family uses it, including our kids - it's so great to have a focused, polished Linux distro for them to do their homework, watch their streams and invite us parents to their Stardew Valley farm every now and then.
Thanks @danirabbit and everyone involved!
I never appreciated #WhiteStripes Seven Nation Army until this Postmodern Jukebox arrangement came along — the New Orleans dirge style is a fantastic groove for this, plus Haley Reinhart doing this is like a master class in… EVERYTHING — she’s so amazing here!
News breaks, we podcast. Nate Persily, @alex and I sat down to chat about Meta's Trump account reinstatement. Nate is pragmatic, Alex is cynical, and I'm a naive little formalist.
(I also misuse "beg the question" -- please forgive me!!)

@marcfbellemare@mastodon.social Those are both excellent options. I also really like the Arrow vs. Schumpeter articles on innovation.
Arrow (1962) “Economic Welfare and the Allocation of Resources to Invention.”
Schumpeter (1942). Ch 7 "The Process of Creative Destruction" and Ch 8 on "Monopolistic Practices"
Many famous works entered the Copyright Public Domain today.

Originally shot in Black and White, here is the colorized version of The Nicholas Brothers in one of the GREATEST dance sequences ever performed!
From the 1943 film, “Stormy Weather,” the clip also features Cab Calloway and Orchestra playing “Jumpin’ Jive.”
Childhood prodigies, The Nicholas Brothers don’t get nearly the recognition they deserve. They were truly astonishing to behold!
