  1. This is a qt of https://social.lol/@spotlightonpod/111952783201740255

    so after reading this I thought of a monthly “new artists” CD mailer subscription I had in the late 90s that I coulda swore had a Marley track one month, which is weird, right?

    so I checked my Plex for Marley, picked Catch a Fire, saw “Midnight Ravers”, which was the chorus I was thinking of, but not it.

    ddg for a remix and found it: Bill Laswell’s “Dreams Of Freedom (Ambient Translations Of Bob Marley In Dub)”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8sDYYwu2t8

  2. Learning from 500songs.com ( https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-116-where-did-our-love-go-by-the-supremes/ ) that the Supremes were called “the no hit supremes” within Motown and made to do stuff like “The Rock and Roll Banjo Band” until Holland, Dozier, and Holland had a say in matters, smdh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJer8U5WtWk

  3. 🏁 what I’m considering the inner mission, bound by 101, Cesar Chaves, and Valencia

    A San Francisco street map centering the area bound by 101, Ceasar Chavez, and Valencia, on which every street has a meandering purple GPS path I’ve logged on it. (I tried to walk Erie St a few times but it’s been under construction each time.)

    After enjoying every single story in the “Hainish Novels and Stories ( https://www.ursulakleguin.com/hainish-novels-and-stories), I figured I can’t go wrong tackling Earthsea for the first time by just reading all of them in the similar “The Books of Earthsea" ( https://www.ursulakleguin.com/the-books-of-earthsea).

  6. One tell that this is good is that I immediately shazam’d it off of NTS’s “Expansions” mix ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmpgnzoFwNQ, which I now assume is named after the track (or suite) of the same name after this one on record), paused the mix and listened to it again, and then the everloving wife stormed over and asked when my music changed from good to bad and shut my door.

  7. Good morning

    photograph from the corner of 25th Street at San Bruno Street looking northwest at San Bruno, a rainbow rises from the far right in an arc that, if complete, would end on Sutro Tower on the far left, but is only brightly visible for a few degrees of arcI’ve been jacking the saturation on my city shots lately to max it out because it feels more accurate at a glance to what it’s like to look at this stuff irl and also to pop the rainbow. I’m sure this is just a phase I’ll regret like when I used to add vigent to every photo I retouched. Whatever!

  8. Fourth book of 2024: “Mismatch” ( https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262539487/mismatch/ ) subtitled “How Inclusion Shapes Design” by Kat Holmes ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39644200-mismatch).

    I grabbed this one after landing on a Don Norman piece ( https://www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me). I enjoyed “The Design of Everyday Things" so I followed Norman’s suggestion to read Mismatch.

    Pretty quick read, and full of things so obviously correct that I got impatient with the author’s patience? Good stuff.

Black helvitca on white title, subtitle, author, foreward author, left-aligned-on-center, top third. a design that reads like the 70s/80s trend of “generic” stuff, The bottom half is a black swirl stroke broken into 8 textures: blot, spikes, dots, bands, checkerboard, circles, stripes, and brush.
