I cancelled Netflix. I only subscribed to Netflix so I could watch season two of Squid Game, but I kept it until season three released. I would have kept Netflix if my family were streaming it. Only Xuân watched Cobra Kai. After he finished all of the series, he stopped streaming. I don’t have much time to watch either. Netflix is overwhelming with content, and yet I just don’t know what to watch. I enjoyed stand-up comedy, but it didn’t have that many new specials. I watched a few episodes of Sex and the City and they were enough for me.

In a way, I enjoy reading more than watching. I have been wanting to subscribe to the New Yorker, my favorite magazine, but I am still holding off. I am just not sure if I want to read articles or just focus on reading books. I don’t have time to read everything and if I were to subscribe to the New Yorker, I would want to read everything.

I subscribed to the New Yorker a few years ago and the paper magazines were piling up in my home. I felt guilty for not be able to read them all. Maybe I just subscribe to the digital version. I do want to support the New Yorker.

Hello Donny Truong,

I just can’t wait.

Trong cuộc sống xung quanh ta có những kẻ luôn ganh ghét và luôn đâm thọc sau lưng ta. Ta nên lánh xa họ. Tuy nhiên, có những mối quan hệ không thể tránh né được. Thôi thì hãy vào đọc những cẩm nang “Phải-trái, đúng sai” của Lisa 0. Engelhardt để hướng dẫn ta đối diện với họ. Tốt hơn nữa là hãy chia sẻ trang này đến những kẻ đó để họ tự rèn luyện lại đạo đức của chính mình.

By chopping the serifs off their slab family, Mortise, Seán Mongey and Max Phillips created Tenon, a sans family that not only complements its slab sibling, but also stands on its own. With open counters, a generous x-height, and wide proportions, Tenon offers versatility in setting type across print and digital environments. Tenon supports many languages, including Vietnamese. With combined diacritics,Tenon’s acute, grave, hook above, and tilde stack consistently on top of its circumflex. For a geometric family, the hook has a subtle but discernible tail. Take a look.

Mỗi câu tràng hạt Phật là Tâm
Phật rõ là Tâm uổng chạy tìm
Bể Phật dung hòa Tâm với Cảnh
Trời Tâm bình đẳng Phật cùng sanh
Bỏ Tâm theo Phật còn mơ mộng
Chấp Phật là Tâm chẳng trọn lành
Tâm, Phật nguyên lai đều giả huyễn
Phật, Tâm đồng diệt đến viên thành.

Each year I have to take the dreadful mandatory IT security training. It’s 40 minutes long interactive video. Luckily, it provides a pre-test to determine how much I already know. I got a perfect score within 15 minutes thanks to AI. I only had to watch a few minutes of the intro and the conclusion. I don’t use AI too often, but this is an exception.

This cute couple broke my YouTube Short record with over 11k views.

With triangular serifs yet curved brackets, Pennyroyal DJR, designed by David Jonathan Ross, balances personality and functionality. Although Pennyroyal DJR is a book face, it can also be set for long-form reading in digital environments thanks to its smooth, open, and airy letterforms. Pennyroyal DJR comes with sharp diacritics. For Vietnamese, its acute, grave, and hook above stack to the right of its circumflex. Take a look.

I sent this letter to Toyota:

I had a service appointment at Priority Toyota Springfield on Friday, June 27, 2025 at 11 am. I didn’t leave the dealership until 4 pm. An oil change and state inspection took 5 hours. I had to wait at the dealership because Mr. MB refused to shuttle me home. I understood that the distance from Priority Toyota Springfield to my house was 9.5 miles; therefore, he couldn’t take me. He grumpily informed me that he had been working since 8:00 am. I felt his pain, but I didn’t appreciate his rudeness.

From the long-wait service to the disgruntled employee, I was extremely disappointed with the entire Toyota experience. As an owner of two current Toyota Siennas and various Toyota cars in the past, I have been a loyal Toyota customer. I am looking to purchase a new Sienna, but I am not sure about the bad experience I had at Priority Toyota Springfield.

Please do better,

Sincerely,
Donny Trương
