Content warning: alcohol
Ordred some tacos and a dos equis at the tacqueria last night, clerk rang me up, I paid, he turned around and handed me my tacos and dos dos equis.
what a scam, but I’ll be drinking that second one that’s in my fridge now eventually anyway I guess
math-knowers in chat have pointed out that I should have parlayed this into quarto equis on account of dos times dos producing that quatro, but this is one of my locals and I can’t get quatro equis every time I go to keep in order to service that charade

This hot tip was solid, Eric Isaacson had a lot to share and I’m pretty glad we went even if we ended up not getting home to relieve our high-school aged babysitter until after 9:30. “It’s OK, tbh I stay up until midnight anyway.”
The tour winds down in Fort Bragg and then Bolinas: https://www.mississippirecords.net/calendar-2024
Also: check out the 4 Star, which is also a record shop
I never make it out the Richmond so I guess this rec is for people like me and not like, some sort of personal insight
Figure 1. Photograph of the 4 Star theater from kitty-corner on 23rd and Clement, at night. The venue is a 2 or 3 story building with a vertically oriented neon sight of a white star over red letters S, T, A, and R rendered as neon block oblique outlines in front on Clement, and a smaller, lower neon sight on the 23rd that simply says 4STAR in oblique neon linesas a result the top half of the building is washed in red neon glowthe marque is a simple protruding and hanging letterboard with 4 white stars above it, proclaiming tonight: THU: A PEOPLESHISTORY OF NORTHAMERICAN MUSICThe entrance winds past a box office window to a door near the corner brightly lit from above.

Having been futzing with it for a few weeks now, 11ty pathing and globbing as seemingly intended in the current reference setup https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog is still pretty befuddling, specifically how “Images can be co-located with blog post files" is done.
GitHub - 11ty/eleventy-base-blog: A starter repository for a blog web site using the Eleventy static site generator.A starter repository for a blog web site using the Eleventy static site generator. - 11ty/eleventy-base-blogGitHub (opens in a new tab)the example “home” index doesn’t include any post contents, just titles and dates. if you want to include content, that’s easy, but it won’t be able to find the images
weird. anyway, https://gravely.pizza lives again
pizza slow (high quality)pizza slow (high quality)gravely.pizza (opens in a new tab)this kinda stuff is better thought of as sets of idioms* in the it “cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements" sense than as whatever adjectives advocates like to throw around like “simple” or “clean” and so on
it is a skill to be able to onboard and adapt various idioms, I’m just coming at this pile of them a little cold I guess
