My physical therapist insisted that treating myself after going to the gym is an essential part of forming the habit. Happily, Banana Leaf Thai Bistro is one block away from the gym.

What the fuck is confusing about it? He made it up and then will claim Ukraine violated the imaginary deal. Anyone with a working brain cell knew this as soon as he said it.

Look, let’s not go halfway. Anything that large with more than four legs is a threat to us, and must be destroyed, as demonstrated in this documentary film.

Post a perfect album from the 90s etc. etc.

Album cover of “Buxom” by Devics, which shows two women who may or may not be flappers, it’s hard to tell.

This line from Count Zero by William Gibson — published in ‘86, I believe — has aged perfectly. Breathtaking. I’m rereading it for the first time since the late 80’s, and I really hope if the Neuromancer adaptation on TV does well that they move on to Count Zero.

Dark Side of the Moon was the first compact disc I bought when I got my first player back in the mid-80’s. I still have it, and when the tracks got screwed up every time I imported it into iTunes, I was curious why. Turns out at some point the tracks got broken down differently.

Track list on old copy of Dark Side of the Moon from the mid-80’s:

1. Speak to Me / Breathe (in the Air)
2. On the Run
3. Time
4. The Great Gig in the Sky
5. Money
6. Us and Them
7. Any Colour You Like
8. Brain Damage
9. Eclipse

Track list on the current release of Dark Side of the Moon from Apple Music, which appears to match all but the oldest CD releases of the album:

1. Speak to Me
2. Breathe (in the Air)
3. On the Run
4. Time
5. The Great Gig in the Sky
6. Money
7. Us and Them
8. Any Colour You Like
9. Brain Damage
10. Eclipse

Hard to see why I would want to live in the real world when I can live in this one.

This is typical whenever I’m sitting down. Two cats on me, two more within reach.

Excerpted text from article: “Assuming it even happens, the process of recovery is not going to be discreet. It’s not going to be painless or easy. It is going to be loud and necessarily bloody. Arms will need to be twisted. Careers will need to be ended. Indictments ought to fly, thick and fast. The republic is going to need radical surgery because the malignancy is everywhere. That is the reality of the next several elections. Any Democratic politician who is not prepared to be merciless is unworthy of support.”

My Music Replay is heavily polluted by my sleep music playlist that runs for an hour or two every night while I fall asleep and/or am actually asleep. But this part is absolutely accurate, and I have no regrets.

ECV-2 Cascadia. I tried out #NoMansSky in PSVR2 this weekend. It was absolutely incredible…and yet I won’t be playing it that way. It’s just not comfortable for long sessions, it’s a nuisance trying to refer to and take notes, and the cats *really* don’t like it.

In 2016, I was still on Facebook and had connections with many people from my hometown. I kept saying that it seemed like the people who had moved away (like me) were solidly on the left, while those who hadn’t were very much on the right. Seems I wasn’t imagining that. apple.news/AJYxmVVgLQQu...

Screenshot of text pulled from the article: “Appelbaum notes a striking statistic about the 2016 presidential race: ‘Among white voters who had moved more than two hours from their hometown, Hillary Clinton enjoyed a solid six-point lead. Those living within a two-hour drive, though, backed Trump by nine points. And those who had never left their hometown supported him by a remarkable twenty-six points.’

So I finally bought No Man’s Sky, looking for something less grim than Fallout 4. I love it. I’m going to be spending a lot of time in that universe. Lately I’ve been flying this interceptor, “Some Disassembly Required.”
