In today's episode, Jared dives into the swirl of consternation over what Twitter's new reply controls might mean for the platform, product anniversaries of note in Apple history, all the wacky new cyberpunk and brutalist designs of phones, pianos, trucks, websites, etc., and tons of TV fandom followup.

An essentialist examines their life not only to clear out the non-essential obligations and clutter and bad habits and so forth in an attempt to simplify and focus. That’s all good, certainly.

In other words, dreams don’t come true just by happenstance. You’ve got to prepare the way.

Holiday fun in the Columbia Gorge & McMinnville. Oregon is beautiful almost any time of year, but in the late fall/beginning of winter it is particularly striking. I also talk about the future of the channel and what’s next in 2020!

Haters gonna hate, but the thing is I liked The Last Jedi—even more than some others such as (shock, gasp, horror) The Return of the Jedi. 😱
But it felt small…half of it takes place in outer space or on a small island.
All I want from The Rise of Skywalker is a feeling of BIG BIG BIG.
