I found out that my 78 year-old father participated in a protest/rally against police brutality the other day. If you knew him, you would know that’s very on brand for him. Ask him sometime about the time he marched with Dr. King. He’d love to tell you the story.

I’m shocked to discover that scanning is even easier on my Linux laptop than it was on my MacBook. I expected it to be a huge pain, but it just works.™

I might actually start using my scanner more often now.

Any speakers of Irish out there? I’m curious how you would verbally spell out a word like “fáilte.” Would you say, “F, A with a fada, I, L, T, E”? Or does “á” have a “name” distinct from “a”?
