  1. Lived near the 33, 14, 49, etc for a while and got really spoiled by reasonable headways

    now I’m by the 27, a perfect door to door school bus for my kid, on paper, if only the headway nearly three times as long as the 49’s. It is faster to just walk.

  3. Content warning: cw “Bodies” netflix show, which I enjoyed

    Https://thecinemaholic.com/bodies-iris-kyal-elias-new-timeline/ this cinemaholic piece calls an LP record that is showing being cut live and played back on a record player multiple times throughout the series a “tape” throughout the piece 🫠

    Bodies: How is Iris in 2023? Did She Travel Back in Time?Netflix’s ‘Bodies’ starts with a murder investigation, which seems straightforward in the beginning but gets convoluted as the mystery spans more than a century. Four timelines are interconnected by the dead body, and the search for answers leads four detectives on a journey they never thought was possible.

  4. The second funniest thing in the new yorker thing about san francisco was the grow sf people wearing their own swag

    the funniest thing was the retiree calling a biz tax “punitive", which, like, I’m not a lawyer, but, lol, lmao

    0.175 percent to 0.69 (nice) percent on gross receipts for businesses with over $50 million in gross annual receipts, or

    1.5 percent of payroll expenses for certain businesses with over $1 billion in gross annual receipts and administrative offices in San Francisco.

    Fun. I’m reading some light socialist realism, "Stalingrad”, by Vasily Grossman, and this story came up in reference with a footnote so I tracked it down.

  9. I skipped the damned introduction (as per. I don’t read introductions first, they are for re-readers) and read it after, which is a lot of words to say some interesting things but mostly conclude that Walter Benjamin gets the closest to figuring Kafka out

    so I’ve now got https://docslib.org/doc/5900836/franz-kafka-on-the-tenth-anniversary-of-his-death open to maybe read, maybe abandon, at some later time, idk

  10. 22nd book of the year: “The Trial" by Franz Kafka.

    Someone in Bernal Heights (Bonview at or near Cortland? It was a few months ago) left a box of books on the sidewalk with “FREE” written on a flap that had a few things I grabbed, among them, DFW’s “Consider the Lobster, and other essays” which I started and abandoned (lol), and this.

    I enjoy stuff like this from time to time but don’t think I’m “smart enough” for it, whatever that means (and I’m not entirely sure).
