  1. It looks like poketo is not going to make the spectrum wall planners I’ve been using for the past two years ( https://www.poketo.com/, photo attached) anymore πŸ₯Ί

    What else is out there this format?

    Please don’t suggest DIY approaches, I don’t have that kind of time or space.

    an image from poketo’s website advertising poster size monthly calendars which arrive in a roll indicating the month and days of the week but not number of days in white helvetica (or something like it) on solid, pale, color paper, which the buyer can then fill in themselves. Each month is a different color of the rainbow as pictured. I’ve also used similar designs from them with abstract patterns. A hand is writing in marker on something on the first monday of January, which is on pink paper. The rest of the months are visible rolled up to the right with the large month number showing on paper in salmon, red, orange, tan, yellow, pale green, green, blue, light blue, violet, and purple.

  2. I’ve been storing SAF instant yeast that I bought a pound of two years ago (red package) in an oxo pop-top container labeled SAF INSTANT* in my pantry. I make pizza dough with it weekly but only use a few grams at a time. I’ve not gone through much of it.

    Over the past six months the fermentation of the SAF has gotten pretty laggy but I kept telling myself β€œyeast doesn’t go bad, it’s going to outlive us all” and blamed room and water temps.

    • my brother label maker rules everything around me

    so I got a new identical package and store it in a large deli container labeled SAF INSTANT* in the fridge, not in the pantry.

    The first proof confirmed: the stuff in the pantry was no good, the new stuff popped off. go figure.

    I post in chat about it and of course one cool-kids gang includes a working scientist who had a bunch of wisdom but generally yeah storage temp and humidity can factor in, might as well keep it in the fridge.

    • yes, the label maker again, I’d label myself if I could

    so I go to make dough for a 20" NY style yesterday, I autolyse, I reserve salt to add with the first folds, and blah, blah, good manual process and temp controls, and a few hours later? Nada. A few hours after that? zilch.

    I had used the gd pantry yeast on auto-pilot. D’oh.

    Before I went to bed, I folded in new yeast and this morning it’s healthily bubbly and jiggly and more than doubled.

    I’m going to ditch it, and the pantry yeast (finally) anyway, and start over.

    anyway: Maybe, put your yeast in the fridge?

  3. SETTING: 1e-12 seconds after the designated start time for a meeting with no agenda that in theory ends 6e2 seconds before the next atual potential designated start time but won’t, just like the meeting before it didn’t.

    CLOSE UP: A computer screen. A chime sounds and a second person joins the meeting and notices that they have arrived 0.0000000000001 second after the start time and aren’t the first to arrive.

    UNAMED PERSON: ”Hey, sorry i’m late.”

  4. Content warning: fascist U. S. A.

    It seems reasonable at this point to drop β€˜attorney’ from attorney general bondi’s title given their claim that they are at war. And, as a bonus, descriptions of their future prosecution by attorneys deserving of that title will read better in media and in history books.

    "general bondi”

    not much to be done for noem: β€œhomeland security” is already a cheese enough of an organization name, she can keep it.

  5. Enjoyed seeing Hiromi’s Sonicwonder at sf jazz last night ( https://www.sfjazz.org/tickets/productions/24-25/hiromi-sonicwonder/).

    I grabbed behind-the-stage "cheap seats” for a friend and I at the last minute after watching a video of them at the Blue Note in Tokyo ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX9x8ibuwok ) and it is very representative of the show. I grabbed a record on the way out.

  6. Won’t cve just be instantly replaced with nearly-as-good systems that prop up resistance to calls to action, arbitrage that is hidden from most but burdens all, and discloser/disclosee story-changing quicksand full of synecdoche and misdirection?

    It’s almost like we centralized a thing for good reasons that we’ll now rediscover because of [spits on the ground twice] libertarians?

  7. The Sons of the Pioneers are playing at the Freight in Berkeley this Friday, so I think, not gonna go, but, cool outfits, who are these people? It turns out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_the_Pioneers neat.

    Anyway of course I come to their big hit, Tumbling Tumbleweeds ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV81D9YMXYo), from the Big Lebowski but this time I looked it up and while I can’t sing and play guitar at the same time, I can sign and play this one at the same time.
