Turn-ons: puns, Doritos, live music, timelapse photography. Turn-offs: political polarization, unnecessary meetings, hypocrisy, alarm clocks.

Just finished (and still digesting) the new book "What's Our Problem?" from Tim Urban at @waitbutwhy. An important read for anyone worried about the divisions in our society, and open-minded about their own role in it. Congrats, Tim.

For those in need of a bit of tolerable Christmas music, I’ve scraped together about an hour or so. It’s taken four years to curate. Not an easy task.

Susan Tedeschi belting out John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery” at the top of her game. She shredded “Ain’t That Something” and later Harry Styles a furious cover “Sign of the Times”.
Great night with the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
Derek Trucks unleashes a fury, bringing home the final section of “Pasaquan” coming out of an extended beautiful and powerful drums section, Sunday night in Rotterdam.
Don’t miss Tedeschi Trucks Band.
@DerekAndSusan
Almost 10 years later and looking forward to Sunday in Rotterdam to see @DerekAndSusan again. Will be less sweaty this time, I reckon. Need to find that trucker hat they signed. #tedeschitrucksband
Getting fired up to hear more of “I Am The Moon” from @DerekAndSusan this weekend in #rotterdam
Here’s a #timelapse of a crescent #moon setting (wait for it) in #amsterdam set to “Midnight in Haarlem”. Sound on.

Thanks to @higdonmarathon for helping this 53M complete his first ever full today. Novice 2 got me to the starting line and got me to the finish line. Thank you. #TCSAmsterdamMarathon

Yesterday's #Seattle #Sunrise #timelapse starting from 6:15am. Colors are usually the most intense red a few minutes after the nautical twilight starts, a good 45 minutes before sunrise and it gets more warmer colorful tones right before sunrise.
Can you believe #europe72 was 50 years ago? It was called "the last rock 'n roll gig" at the @Concertgebouw in #Amsterdam. Happy 80th @jerrygarcia. An ode inspired by two huge anniversaries.

Ben Harper brought it to the Paradiso on Sunday night to a venue he called the best indoor venue in the world. Phenomenal energy and a fantastic audience. #benharper #paradiso #amsterdam
The bots have descended. There's no way to tell the difference between us and them.
Can #web5 help humans authenticate, reclaim our identities, regain control of our privacy, and solve the crisis of toxic anonymity and fake social proof (hat tip @aileenlee), all at once?
Love how the moon shines through the windows of the tower.
A 99.8% moon glides behind iconic Schiphol tower at Amsterdam airport at 5:11am this morning.

End of an era! First the Nuthouse closes. Now the Pro. Anyone remember the old Old Pro? bporteus.medium.com/the-old-…
A fixture of downtown Palo Alto is closing its doors - after a long, long run. The Old Pro will close on June 19th.

Earlier this morning from @Schiphol in #amsterdam #netherlands as the moon was in partial #eclipse. Sadly, the clouds won this battle shortly after this shot was taken.
A conversation between @karaswisher with @RayDalio on last Monday's @nytimes Sway podcast inspired some agreeing and disagreeing herein. Would love @waitbutwhy's take on these thoughts - perhaps covered in Tim's upcoming Future of Us.
