  2. 22: “Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World”, by Naomi Klein

    Another one that I waited out thinking “eh, probably great but maybe I’ll pass” and then people I follow just kept citing it months and months later, so onto the pile it went. My first and not last Klein book, about significantly more than I expected.

  3. I tend to buy clothes on ebay rather than dealing with retail—like thrifting with less effort and better selection (especially for bright colors and patterns). On the way to getting some other thing, I ended up impulse buying a pair of broadcloth pajamas and now I’m Ricky Ricardo morning-or-evening-scene pilled

    they are made of the same-ish material as bed sheets and the fit is very oversized so it feels like being in bed still. definitely beats the old sweat-pants-and-a-t-shirt thing i m o

  6. Huh, I wonder if I can walk down here

    photograph of san francisco looking north-west from 100-ish Coleridge St downhill, down a driveway with a building to the left and a park to the right. IN the center is a store-bought STOP sign. Under the stop sign is a nice (I guess, if you have to have it) custom sign explaining that there is no way to get to Mission Street (the other side of this block) from here. To the right is a store-bought generic private property sign. At the bottom of the driveway, and this is the new thing, the residents have bought two foot high letters and spelled out PRIVATE PROPERTY along the fence at the bottom of their driveway. if you’ve been descending straight down the hill from Bernal, you’ve heretofore enjoyed:1. mid-block steps through a garden2. a half block of Emerelda Ave3. another set of mid-block steps through a garden4. another half block of Emerelda Ave5. another set of mid-block steps through a garden6. private property signs

    photograph of san francisco looking north-west from 100-ish Coleridge St downhill, from the same vantage point as the prior photo, but zoomed in on the two foot high letters and that spell out PRIVATE PROPERTY along the fence at the bottom of the driveway. it’d be cool if there was a zip line / gondola across to noe from somewhere along this dumb route.

  8. Look so-and-so, i know I’m being a complete stick in the mud here but I refuse to subscribe to a paper that runs editorial board opinion columns I disagree with on a regular basis, and it isn’t on principle, it’s discipline, it’s a boycott, that sort of thing

  10. I need to find a band to play with, picking up a guitar at home just gets junior’s attention and then breaks the impulse to pick up the instrument in the first place, like a dog or cat vectoring in on the one person who isn’t into one or the other (which is also me usually), or like a helicopter manager ignoring the headphones and full screen doc or IDE for a “hey, do you got a second?”

    well, I didn’t, but I guess I have all day now, because, welp!

    by corollary, managers who do that are actually saying “hey, hey. will you play with me?”
