What I do when I forget

At work, we had a fun social prompt. I was proud of my response. When you don’t know or can’t remember something, do you pause to try to think of it, search right away, or somewhere in between? I have … Read more

I was up past my bedtime last night seeing my cousin’s band, Chalk Teeth. 🎵

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. 🗳️ 🇺🇸🏙️

Me, a bald white dude with a big beard, posing with my I voted sticker on my shirt. I’m giving a thumbs up.

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.

My recent Discogs haul. 🎵

A collection of music CDs and a cassette tape, lying on a wood floor. The CDs are 'The Next Day' by David Bowie, 'The Very Best of John Lee Hooker', 'Down' by The Jesus Lizard, and 'Dopes to Infinity' by Monster Magnet. The cassette is 'The Traveling Wilburys Vol 1'.

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.
