The Traveler, by Jospeh Eckert. A guy on his way to work finds himself tumbling out of his car onto the roadway, one second he's driving and the next he's rolling along asphalt wondering what happened. He realizes that he's lost a day, it's now 24 hours into the future. The next morning, he "slips" again, this time 48 hours into the future. The third morning, he slips 4 days....and so on.

Every time I would think, "He can't possibly slip further than this, what would you even write about, how would you continue the story," I would realize that I still had a huge chunk of the book left. It was very good, I enjoyed it very much. For a guy who is forced by these new circumstances to pretty quickly leave his family's lifetimes, the family aspects of it are touching. The end was interesting too. It wasn't ambiguous like I was fearing, you do find out what's happening. If you enjoy time travel, this is an excellent addition to the genre.

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

It’s also been to the wee supermarket, out with the dog a few times rambling around, in the car, and so on. Very windy up here, but it’s yet to be blown off.

As a side note, Trump may hold the record for most Wikipedia articles of the form "$X–$Y phone call."

BTW

my “i cannot believe there’s people out there still defending Biden” quote tooting of myself was prompted by the work Mekka has had to answering asshats tryna gaslight us about Joe Biden.

y’all need to take all the seats instead of coming to Black people’s mentions with what amounts to a [citation needed] about racist and fascist pieces of shit like Joe Biden.

Oooh, vetenskapens värld om monstervågor...!!

The frequency of the term “load-bearing” seems to be spiking in a lot of stuff that crosses my radar. Is this just another linguistic fashion or do I detect the aroma of slop?

I've been buried deep in writing the lessons for my Cloudflare for WordPress course for the past couple of weeks. The deeper I dive into Cloudflare, the greater the set of options to integrate becomes.

The hardest part is almost not writing the lessons, but more about deciding what to include and what not to include 😮

It was a perfect phone call.

If nothing else, the Balogun red card saga supports the twin axioms that (i) Trump cannot abide a story that does not centre him; and (ii) by inserting himself he makes everything ten times more tawdry (which somehow applies even when FIFA is already involved).

Did I miss something or the NowPlaying API mostly a replacement for the old MediaCenter API or is are there new functionality exposed through it?
