Washed some socks and underwear this morning in our manual clothes washer, and hung them up to dry on the roof. Heat wave = fast toasted undies.
Via Miser, NYC universal daylighting has enough votes to pass!
Quick Neovim tip: in a terminal buffer, you can use [[ and ]] to navigate between shell prompts. Really useful for navigating long command outputs. 💽
Anytime Julia Evans comes out with a new zine, it’s an instant-buy for me. The Secret Rules of the Terminal? Don’t mind if I do. 💽
I can’t believe it. Zohran won the primary. Maybe we can have nice things! 🇺🇸🌇
My being a Neovim user is a lot like being a kind vegan; yeah, I have thoughts, but I’m not a dick about it. 💽🏴☠️
I found a note from a year and a half ago for Halloween ideas. There’s only one item, “Lumberjack Wizard”. It’s nice to know that at one point in time, that meant something to me.
I voted. 🗳️ 🇺🇸🏙️
Watching Georgy Girl tonight. Missed in the movies….. 60 years ago. Yeah sometimes it takes awhile for me to catch up.

Let’s have something nice in NYC. Everyone turn out tomorrow, and, of course, don’t you God damn rank Cuomo. Or Eric Adams, for that matter, but even he isn’t voting for himself. 🇺🇸🏙️
Had a really nice low-key birthday last week. Next year is 40, so I’m culturally obligated to go hard, but 39? 😴👍
Great piece on WTF with Marc Maron ending by Diana Moskovitz.
The Boogie Man is just your dad when he dances.
Happy flag day to all who celebrate. Now hand over your gold. 🏴☠️
Friendly reminder that public transit is much safer than driving, from Scientific American.
…Litman’s research puts public transit’s death or injury rate at about one tenth that of car travel.
I picked up “Dopes to Infinity”, but turns out, I didn’t. I’m still in. 🎵
My recent Discogs haul. 🎵
I went to Hamido Seafood last night for a friend’s birthday, an Egyptian fish restaurant in Astoria. You pick your fish, and they fry it up for you while you wait. So good. 🐟
I started getting into The Dandy Warhols. The name really annoys me, but …The Dandy Warhols Come Down is great. 🎵
Andrew Sacher wrote a beautiful elegy for Brian Wilson on Brooklyn Vegan. RIP. 🎵
Brian resonates so much with indie/alternative/underground musicians because, no matter how famous The Beach Boys are, being a Brian Wilson fan means you’re in on one of the most profound secrets in all of pop music history.
Had a great improv show with Loose Corn at The Everything Hour. Fun set, great audience. Thanks to Rachel and Remy for being our brave speed daters! 🎭
Just saw a dude walking down the street while eating a full plate of plain rice with a fork. Unglued.
Correction: five days ago, I got French metal band Animalize confused with their album title. The band name is Animalize, and the album is called Verminator, not the other way around.
This brought to you by the department of corrections no one complained about.
Oof, I’m late, but happy pride. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Everyone needs to reckon with how badass The Commodores looked.
