Bobbing Boat

Boating is easier than a few decades ago.

We used to read our Nicholson guide for clues about canalside shops. Now, GPS + a map app shows every nearby grocery shop.

For route planning, Open Canal Map integrates Canal & River Trust's warnings and closures.

Keeping dry is easier with Rain Alarm (Michael Diener's Android app), which shows waves of rain in advance, so we know when to take a break and when to resume boating.

"It doesn't seem #political, but the project of lulling users into not caring about anything outside their immediate self-interest suits the goals of the #MAGA movement... This isn't the #Christianity of the liberal Christians I know, who volunteer, donate money, and care very much about electing better leaders. This is a "don't worry your pretty head about all that stuff" kind of Christianity."

Text from article(edited for length): Most of this material doesn't seem political, but it does encourage a form of small-minded narcissism, with the relentless focus on the self. The Jesus of the Hallow app isn't much concerned about social justice or caring for the downtrodden... It doesn't seem political, but the project of lulling users into not caring about anything outside their immediate self-interest suits the goals of the MAGA movement. And it's probably more persuasive to ordinary people than overt right-wing propaganda. This isn't the Christianity of the liberal Christians I know, who volunteer, donate money, and care very much about electing better leaders. This is a "don't worry your pretty head about all that stuff" kind of Christianity. Not that there was no political propaganda on Hallow. As a feminist, I couldn't help but listen to a 9-part series labeled "Feminine Genius"... I got scolded about how I should stop trying to "act like a man," and that women's "gifts" and "genius" are — surprise! — about the ability to "generously live for others."... a woman's role is to make sure everyone is taken care of, while men do all that higher-paid, less caring work. Not that women never get anything in return! In the lesson titled "Receptivity," we're told, "In the act of sex, a husband gives of himself to his wife, who receives his gift." Say what you will, but I did not expect the Jesus app to tell me I'm a genius because I know how to get f—ked.
