Increasingly averse to "worn" forms of writing as declaration of identity (tshirts, bumper stickers, etc) but I did just have the thought on the way to the garden store with my biggest tote to buy a medium-sized bag of soil that it would be funny if it said THIS TOTE BAG IS MY PICKUP TRUCK.

Two private geographies I regret not committing to paper before they faded: every roommate assignment from my floor in my high school dorm; the precise layout of every single store at Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City circa 2003-2006 when my little sister and I had it memorized.

Kinda goofy news today, which is that I had to choose between my job of the past 6 years as a software engineer at the Times and my new co-op magazine newsletter Gourmet. I chose the latter!!

Just got a promotional email from a shoe company I last got a promotional email from two days shy of 11 years ago. The passage of time, the permanence of mailing lists!

I gotta tell you that with a lowly single Z in my last name, I am jealous of Ryan Lizza and Olivia Nuzzi for having two each. The additional Z in my first name is my only consolation.

"I Won't Share You" by The Smiths playing at the ice cream place was nice but I did swap tastes of our cones with several but not all of my friends.

Should I put in my dating app profile that I'm not only a 6-year Rancho Gordo Bean Club member, but that when a new box arrives I pretty regularly only have 1-2 pounds of beans left from the previous shipment?

The B48 automated announcement voice no longer pronounces Meserole as "meserolly" but it does still pronounce Wythe as "with."

Do you ever watch a French film (today, François Ozon's 1995 La Petite Mort) and wish you had that particular old-fashioned French handwriting?

I was already feeling lucky to spot an older person in flawless makeup and a belt and suspenders combo getting off the bus as I got on, but then there was also someone in a new-looking (??) Carol Burnett Show tshirt!

Lotta good outfits and hot guys and cute babies at my polling place this morning, the sheen of sweat making everyone look glamorous.

List of items I've seen people carrying on the subway and initially mistaken for a hockey stick because I'm usually carrying a hockey stick: tennis rackets, baseball bats, and, this morning, two of those very long levels used on construction sites.

I praise this day, which has brought me one of those increasingly infrequent little blessings: spotting a real life head-to-toe Thom Browne guy on the subway on his way to work.

last night during my hockey game, a couple of teammates had the knicks-pacers game playing on their phones on the bench, a goofy symphony of sneaker squeaking and ball bouncing and skate scraping and puck slapping.

Every other guy walking around today in a nice little knit shirt and shorts shorter than mine is a try-hard and every other guy walking around today in a nice little knit shirt and shorts longer than mine is a huge nerd, hope this helps

Wasn't paying attention and very carefully shook three orange foam earplugs out of the little tub to put in before going to bed, as if I had that many ears.

It must be so cool to be a toddler on the subway in New York City, occasionally getting bodily picked up in your stroller by a beefy hot stranger (me) who lugs you up or down the stairs before disappearing forever.

In the same way that circa 2006, I had an ambient awareness of which of my friends paid to be able to send and receive text messages in case I needed to call instead, circa 2025, I have an awareness of who subscribes to what paywalled journalism so I can generate gift links when I send them stuff!

I wrote a little piece on the garlic I bought in Istanbul for @bestfoodblog.bsky.social, but the bonus story is that I ALSO bought a bag of Sichuan peppercorns at a Chinese grocery near Taksim Square. Used them for the first time this week in a cucumber salad. www.bestfoodblog.net/you-deserve-...

Enthusiastic guy on the dance floor at Nowadays spontaneously patted me on the back as Laurel Halo went on as if to say we had a long ways to go, which we did.

The bad news is that I dribbled crema antica gelato on my shirt. The good news is that this shirt is crema antica colored.

I am glad I got to dance to I Feel Love in between a group of older lesbians and a very gen Z queer couple and two hot people of indeterminate gender last night at PAT. (I was the third hot person of indeterminate gender.)

All I talk about at parties lately is how I spent hours the last couple of weeks getting my 496 open phone tabs down to 130 or so, and now I've done it here too.

The kayakers on the Schuylkill left behind a long track from their boats with two slashes on either side from their oars that stayed visible in the water long enough to look exactly like the long cut with its two parallel tracks of stitch scars from surgery when I broke my wrist.

It's possible I haven't tried as hard at anything in years as I am currently trying to break in these black leather loafers I got at the fancy menswear store in Istanbul, but it is working!

Medium-hot guy at farmer's market not worth ogling but his unusually proportioned and well-worn enormous plain black tote bag was.

Having a mild identity crisis because I think of myself very strongly as a person with a well-stocked pantry, and yet I find myself out of both Aleppo pepper and pomegranate molasses!

I was admittedly already so grumpy for no good reason, but a guy on the train was wearing a calf-length jean jacket -- like you just stretched the fucking thing all out of its aspect ratio -- and I wanted to bully him into never wearing it again!!

I don't want to be the one to make a cereal box worth of puppy chow, but I do want someone else to make it and then give me a bulging sandwich-sized ziplock bag full of it.

Was standing in exactly the right place on the Q platform for the conductor to quickly say "don't go in there, it smells" as the train pulled in and I moved toward the sixth car. I got in the fifth car instead!
