A quick guide to translating Trumpsters:
“Soros” = Jews
“Chicago” = Blacks
“Detroit” = Blacks
“Fucking bitch” = Democratic congresswoman
“Job-killing regulations” = laws protecting air and water
“Religious freedom” = Christian dominance
“Heritage” = white supremacy
What it’s like being Trump’s campaign manager - It’s like being Charlie Manson’s foxtrot instructor. You go out there, you teach him a few moves, and you think, ‘Hey, look at that, he can learn the foxtrot.’ And the next thing you know, he’s putting a pen in your eye, because he’s Charlie Manson.

Keyboard Maestro Macro to Copy #Obsidian Daily Note to Day One
I use my Obsidian Daily Note to capture all kinds of data:
I use a Keyboard Maestro macro to copy the note over at the end of the day to Day One, since I’ve been keeping a Day One journal for 10 years and have 18K entries. The one drawback is the data from Dataview queries does not copy over.
if I Could Only Install 20 Mac Applications
I’m rather proud of having more than 400 apps installed on my Mac. According to Lingon X, I have 102 apps either as login items or running in the background as helper apps. I have a hobby blog, AppAddict where I write an app review every day, always something I have downloaded, installed and used on my personal Mac. I love my Setapp subscription because it gives me an evergrowing library of high quality apps to try out for the same monthly price. But if all this goodness evaporated suddenly and i was forced to run vanilla Mac OS plus twenty apps to get my work done, which out of all the ones that own would I choose? Answering this requires some tough choices. may of these apps I have been using for more than a decade, although a few have been adopted in the past year.
