    Angell saw and described the experience of caring about baseball in a way I instantly felt to be true, and later understood to be if not the right way to do it, then at least how I wanted to. I think everyone who read him aspired to that perspective, and is better off for that.

    Two Mac tips: You probably know ⌘M will minimize any window to the Dock. You might not know ⌘⌥M will minimize all windows in the current app. Conversely, holding down Option while clicking a minimized window in the Dock will un-minimize all windows from that app.

    I was just about to suggest that it would be really cool if we could long press the Knotwords keyboard to select cells like the system keyboard But I figured I should actually try that first, and it was even more delightful than I could have expected

    Let's apply this logic to reproductive freedom: "To picket an abortion clinic is problematic. It tries to bring direct public pressure to bear on a decision making process that must be controlled, evidence-based and rational." True. But courts said free speech is more important.
