I have gone through garden furniture outside and made choices about what comes with us and goes. The hibachi, properly cleaned, will come with us, but damn did it rust over the last few years. I scoured the grill down with a wire brush until I realized that it was mostly oxidization. Lawn chairs were tossed in the garbage. I don't have a lot of use for the yard tools out there, and may offer them to the landlord for when he moves back.

Working on Danse Macabre by Ghost for the faculty band, and the song made no sense to me until I changed the voicing of the chords. Then everything I needed to do became obvious and easy. I really am coming along musically, I think.

Every time I sit down and chat with a millennials or zoomers, I am struck by just how little they know about what American society looked like before the great unravelling that began when we elected the Black dude. But also how little they understand why “innovation” came to be a mantra for the Right. It had always been a real thing, until they crushed it. Check out History Channel’s “[Men, Foods, Brands, Megabrands] that built America. Capitalism exploits big ideas. But it’s still creative …

The #legal fight over the #2024election has begun

Trump's team is more focused so far on building a sprawling network of "#ElectionIntegrity" #lawyers & #PollWatchers than on rounding up organizers & door knockers to reach voters.

I've worked on my voice for the band to the point that I think I could do the ASL signing of our songs.

Dressing up troops as humanitarian aid workers is a war crime and a direct violation of the Geneva convention, but who’s counting

I remember this shameful edition of RS. I bought it because Mailer was part of my dissertation. But it's also where RFK Jr. shat uncontrollably on the pages. Nearly every factual statement in his article had to be retracted. And he still couldn't learn a fucking thing.

TIL that 19th century baseball reenacting is a thing.

It looks like I may never achieve my goal of becoming a wastrel.

Alright, as I putter about in the shallow, yellow waters of the kiddie pool that is popular science writing, I'm coming to appreciate how important field theory is. I'd like to understand it at a popular level. I get relativistic weirdness. I know things about quantum wackiness. Field theory...is there an accessible introduction anywhere? Amazon just wants to shove depak chopra down my throat.

Eek. The condo appraisal is lower than I anticipated. I'll see what the two parties' agents can hash out.

Are there people who watch morning talk shows who are not forced to because they are in a doctor's waiting room?

I have to go orient new students. There will be a lot of them. It will be quite the event.

So tired. I feel I mostly kicked ass at band practice tonight. I may have more vocal parts in the future. Some fun ones.

Was up early this morning.

Big mistake.
