One more thing about Overcast

Reading this post it seems if you lose your playlists or podcast lists, force-quitting the app should fix the problem.

I’m pretty sure I tried that last night, but I think the developer changed the back-end afterward.

So far, I’m satisfied with the new version, but I’m also finding it a bit buggy. For example, changing filter settings on playlists doesn’t work until I force-quit the app.

The new version of the Overcast podcast player is completely unusable for me. I have filed a bug report and reverted to the previous beta.

Today’s fashion hate-reads

Sock height is now a “fierce controversy.. No-show socks make you look old. Crew socks are now fashionable. Unless you’re already old, in which case crew socks make you look old too.

This article has it all, including gratuitous Boomer-bashing and a grown-ass man who is devastated that teenagers are making fun of his socks at Disney World.

I take great pride in not caring about socks. As long as they’re approximately the same color, that’s good enough for me.

Also: Carolyn Hax advises a woman who is aghast that her sister-in-law wore white jeans to a wedding reception, when the invitations SPECIFICALLY SAID “festive cocktail attire.” The only person in this letter who is NOT horrible is the woman in white jeans.

If someone asked me to wear “festive cocktail attire” to an event, I would have no idea what that is. I guess that’s a big reason why we never get those kinds of invitations.

Good profile of J.D. Vance, Trump’s VP pick, in the form of a 55-point list at Politico.

TL;DR: Vance is a crackpot conspiracy theorist and LGBT-phobe motivated strongly by a desire to pwn the Libs. Also, he either had a 180-degree change of heart about Trump, or he’s a sociopathic opportunist; in 2016, he said Trump is an “idiot” and might well be America’s Hitler.

I would not bet on Vance surviving long. Trump tried to have his last VP whacked.
