It’s the last day of the year. I’m not going to miss 2024. It was a much wilder year than expected. 

This might be old hat for almost every Spotify podcast listener on the planet, but Spotify → Your Library → Podcasts → New Episodes (pinned) has changed my daily usage pattern. I had sadly been just clicking on the six podcasts at the top to navigate to the latest content. Yes. I only listen to about 6 different podcasts on a regular basis. 

Right now I’m supposed to be writing about how headline only news has bullet pointed away depth of knowledge and consideration. By headline only news I mean that a lot of the news is just consumed as people consume headline bylines only. A lot of it is just scrolling along and not digging into the depth of the article that is increasingly behind a paywall. This is a problem that needs a lot more attention. 

I was digging into my George Brett graded card vertical and looked at my Donruss and Fleer stacks. My main focus has been on collecting a graded card by PSA or BGS for each Topps card from 1975 to current. This time around I looked beyond Topps and sorted my nearly complete base Donruss and Fleer collections. Some of the other brands of cards are a little harder to collect, but over the years just by chance I have sorted most of those two brands in terms of the yearly base card. Some of the highlight or alternate cards I still need to locate, but in terms of year having a base card and that being collected I’m pretty well complete on Topps, Donruss, and Fleer. 

Comments have been turned off for all the older posts. I think right now comments might be open during the first 24 hours of a post. We will see if anybody adds any comments. It has been some time since a real comment happened.
