Thank you for the tip!

It used to be just people saying, I like this kind of pen pencil notebook flashlight etc and I carry this kind of bag dossier briefcase whatever

Accidentally looked at an “every day carry” site for the first time in years and my god was it always so knife/gun oriented? Has anybody tracked those kinds of sites over time

WHY DO PERSIAN JEWS LIVE IN LA

WHAT HAPPENED TO IRAN'S JEWS THAT THEYRE SUCH A SMALL PART OF IRAN'S POPULATION

I’m like six years away from daring to make a joke about it tbh

The more I read and reread Zeraim the more I get that I’m going to need to create a binder or handbook with flowcharts or something to make sure I understand and remember how it all works

In American programs in recent months I’ve heard lines of dialogue in Quechua and Kreyol.

Terrified I was dialing in late for the urgent project meeting but I’m early. Gonna eat cereal about it

I can’t extricate how much of my dissatisfaction is ambient cultural need machine bad vibes and how much is feeling thwarted from wholehearted pursuit of what I love to do. So when I notice a specific frustration I address and see if it helps

Even if I somehow read six books a week again, I come across 500 books a year that sound good to me, of which half probably are good, and ten percent really good. If I get to sixty percent of those 500 books what are the odds I actually find thirty of the fifty really good books among the ones I see

One submission out the door, though, that’s all right. Need to get five more done, and a haircut. Probably ought to trim the nails too.

Anyway I used to read everything I could find, thinking somebody might know how anybody does any of this, but nobody does, and the people who say they do should be ashamed.

I want too many things. It’s ok, time will take care of that

Dream Dust by Marcus Silcock. Spiral galaxy image on a black background, is the cover. Press name (Broken Sleep Books) in the lower right.

UNDERGROUND Deep in the belly of the city, we meet the musicians, from French Quebec. It is only 5 euro. Little pops & bleeps. Crashing cymbals. Brushing the drums & breathing. Wailing into walls of sound. Francois Carrier & Michel Lambert. Francois on saxophone. Michel on drums. We chat with them during intermission. In Cork it was very intense, says Michel. So many levels. Boatloads of Murphy's. It's the Cork version of Guinness, says Eimear. Yes, says Michel, making a small smack with his lips. We were just in Poland, says Michel. Rumia, Poznań & Gdansk. Terrific, I say. I liked the pierogi, says Michel. Not at first. The first pierogi was too slimy, but I thought I had to try another one. The other one was very tasty. You have to have the right pierogi, I say. Have you tried Katowice, I say, my hometown. I've heard about it, says Michel. I've a friend, the head of the jazz department. I keep meaning to visit. It is a good city for the underground, even if the avant-garde is very small, I say. It is small by definition, says Michel. We sit down for part two. Saxophone, drums, & two local musicians, Diego Caicedo and Pablo Schvarzman, on electric guitars. I close my eyes. Primeval energies. Walls of sound. Swaying my head. The breathy valves. Rising & falling. Michel cuts his finger on the high hat. The electric guitar moves into space operas as he exits the stage for a bandage behind the bar. Francois scrapes a square piece of plastic on the floor. I needed that, I say.

Here’s the book I read and liked, it’s by @postpran.bsky.social and it’s published by @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social

I was irritated about not reading and writing enough and I woke up early so I read a book, and I liked it. And then I wrote a while. Other needs had to sit and wait. How does anybody do any of this

Last night would have been a good night to put challah dough up for a slow rise. Putting a note in my calendar for next Thursday.

Cuyahoga indeed

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the ...

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

It is inherently newsworthy that a sitting US senator is invoking Nuremberg.

To have the tools to make their lives what they want, as literate citizens (tough luck if they don’t want to be literate citizens)

Sure! Sorry for the yum yukking

Superresistance to shame

Sure. But shitcanning is dude’s signature keep-em-entertained move.

I find myself stewing in thoughts of retribution too. I hate it. Learning to just notice those thoughts / feelings and not run from them.

There’s no shortage of ugly souls waiting to take on hateful, illegal missions. And there’s no clear leadership hitting the drumbeat over and over - sending the message that all of these criminals will face consequences.

So what Noem was fired? The mission she was tasked with hasn’t changed or stopped. This is like being excited at New Year’s that the previous awful year is behind us. It’s too stupid

History does not repeat, yet it displays a form of repetition compulsion.

What if, and hear me out here, Markwayne were not confirmed?

It actually is possible to stop giving this craven goon what he wants, and it would be nice if the media would report it that way.
