  1. area man who has been muted the entire video conference waves goodbye before closing the window even though his stream is hidden among the “+8" set of other people who have also been muted the entire video call

  2. if the skin ain’t broke, you should not poke

  3. being the adult in this tête-à-tête and, after feinting a few times with the fork in my right hand, simply plucking up the pan fried cherry tomato with my left hand and popping it into my mouth.

  4. it is p funny to me that the dumbest people on earth who respect no one and no thing who bumble through life with least effort reactions damning all consequence are still participating in the meritocracy of J.D.s and Ivies and so on.

    feels like every day we learn ”oh, so and so idiot is now the head of blah blah" and it’s their lawyer or something.

    why the pretense? just appoint whoever, who cares at this point?

  5. S. J. W.s at this playground?

    photograph of small nautical flag (i assume?) tiles embedded in concrete steps at a toddler playground in san francisco with Sierra, Juliett, and Whiskey written under each flag, The initial letters are large while the remainder are small caps.

  6. Oè!

    photograph of the san francisco giants stadium from beyond right field and across a body of water. in the foreground, a twenty foot statue of baseball player who just swing their bat is on a small pedestal, but what its eyes catching is that in the water, a gondola is being oared by a gondolier wearing a red and white striped shirt and a flat brimmed straw hat. the sole occupant of the umbrellas is holding a paper straw for the afternoon sun. i've never been to Venice but i assume these people have or wish they had.

  7. Just read the first chapter of Ursula Franklin’s Massey Lectures ( https://monoskop.org./5/58/Franklin_Ursula_The_Real_World_of_Technology_1990.pdf) because it was recommended by @Mer__edith in this old Politico interview ( https://www.politico.com/newsletters/digital-future-daily/2023/12/01/5-questions-for-meredith-whittaker-00129677) and it’s excellent.

    Ordered a paperback ( https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-real-world-of-technology-ursula-franklin/9995479?ean=9780887846366&next=t&next=t ) to finish the rest.

  8. on my bullshit—in Denver—not nearly my first time here, just visiting friends for the weekend and had a kid-nap-time time to wander.

    p nice!

    a photo of the reverse side of the previous one, the new bloom is facing down and to the right in profile, the two bigger older siblings are up and to the left in side-view, behind are a red/green prayer plant, a very healthy fiddle plant, and in the distance, a wall of books
