Libraries are so beautifully disruptive.

I am always amazed that people walk through our (open) gate, ten feet on to our property, to throw their bags of dog poop into our closed trash bins.

Is it comparable?

Is it relevant?

I found the 1882 record of the delivery to the municipality, of a baby found wrapped in cloth and abandoned, my great-grand-mother. They gave her the last name Selva which makes me wonder if she was found in the forest.

<shakes head> Author is the Washington Bureau Chief. Maybe he's hoping for an administration job.

The first line of the Guardian story on the Trump Epstein Titanic statue -- "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets" should get some fired.

I have not been particularly success in one of the languages. Maybe I need another language (or two) to not curse in, up my success as a percentage.

I am a mere few weeks away from a complete draft of this PhD. One day soon this shall all just live in the haze of memory.

Last night I dreamt I was under the stripey big top doing divinations and wow my friends do I have news for you.

I have a very short list of publishing houses I'd like to publish something with in this life time. Now might be a great time to start making that a reality.

Entirely acceptable, I'd say.

Libraries here are very loud with children and other chaoses. Except the UT library, which is loud with shenanigans.

They are appearing in a wider variety of colors here, so your future may be literally bright. I tend to want to throw my rocks at the endless waymos.

I am continually amazed by people who take video conference calls in cafés. Especially ones where everyone else is working quietly.

This town has too many Teslas.

Train to Pakistan, by Khushwant Singh. Written in 1956, taking place in 1947, incredibly good and still feels so present. About partition and everything else.

All the Empty Rooms | A Documentary Film All the Empty Rooms documentary features the bedrooms of children lost to school shootings, revealing the realities of families living with grief and loss.

All the Empty Rooms is devastating. I cannot imagine what it is to watch this as a parent, especially a parent who has lost a child in a school shooting. www.alltheemptyrooms.com

Grand Theft Hamlet was different than I expected, but I really enjoyed it. Other than Eddington, the only movie I have seen so far that gets at some of the feelings of pandemic-time.

ADVENTURE: The Listers (Greatest Film Ever Made) – Shifter The Listers is a documentary film by the Reiser brothers who spend a year attempting an American big year record.

Listers (documentary, youtube only) was so fun, I highly recommend. shifter.media/adventure-th...

Why the past tense?

Libby is promoting Dr Attia's book to me ... bad algorithm, no cookies.

I am in an airport lounge and I just watched an American guy tuck seven cans of soda into his bag, on his way out.

Prego.

Not only do I never curse in French, I speak to myself (in head and outloud) in the formal (vuvoyer). Which is interesting and perhaps significant about my French self.

Also @msatris.bsky.social :)

Italian: cazzo. French: putain.

Day one, four failures, three English, one Italian. Perhaps I should speak French all year.
