  1. 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

  2. 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.”

    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

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

  3. 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.

    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

    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

  5. Reminded of all the places I’ve tagged with my kid before they could write and make me stop.

    i’m down to the last few months before their reading catches up with this nonsense, I gotta get back on my game

    I think this was in john wayne airport five years ago

  8. For a publication called The Atlantic, they sure go way out of their lane posting about stuff that happens on the various continents a lot

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image first book of the year down, (I think via @leigh@ottawa.place somewhere?): "Axiomatic," a collection of Greg Egan's short stories that appeared in various science fiction magazines (mostly Interzone and Asimov's) between 1989 and 1992. Great late 80s hard SF shorts I don't do star reviews, but, folks, they're good stories https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/156783.Axiomatic aside: a characters is mentioned to have received their advanced degree in 2023, which I'm sure felt reasonably far out at the time.Mastodon

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image First book of 2024: Ellen Ullman, "Close to the Machine: Technophilia and Its Discontents” (https://www.goodreads.com/book/486625/questions). I don't know how this made it onto my pile but it was a quick read (I started it yesterday). It's so weird to read 90s tech memoirs. People were still sorta building stuff back then, weren't sure where things would end up, and so on. 2023's thread: https://mastodon.social/@gravely/109661276920611083 Why I post these: https://mastodon.social/@gravely/110011601484725615Mastodon
