Very much enjoying the audio book of London Falling. I read Radden Keefe’s collection on rogues, which is excellent, but this longer investigation is enthralling: from a murder/suicide to the exile of Ugandan Asians, the brinks mat robbery and A Long Good Friday.

The first time I saw Dolly, I cried. The second time, it magically started RAINING while she played Islands in the Stream. It was summer! In the Bay Area! She is magic forever.

Terminator 2, named by my daughter after the sequel to Terminator, not a previous cat named Terminator.

Which Nuremberg Chronicle lady are you? Images from @rarebookschool.bsky.social, RBS 6734.

“Inshallah on the front page,” is a Groucho-level aside.

Skinny Malinky Leads the war for Kidness is criminally out of print, post-apocalyptic sci-fi for kids. Blew my mind at 13.

Hello.

One thing people need to know if they leave New Orleans is that you're expected to stop calling other men "baby" once you get to the new spot. I only recently learned this and after 18 years it's too late for me to change my ways.

13 y.o. kid took me to her first concert last night, someone she found online. It was a laptop pop band with a drummer and frontwoman, songs about heartbreak and comic/surreal stage patter in between. The perfect band?

One of the underappreciated aspects of UVA home football games is it is the only event in Charlottesville where grown people can socialize and listen to current rap music.

Absolutely Insane that the Young Thug and Donald Trump trials are happening at the same time in the same courthouse. Two formal innovators that went to the very top of the game, but just COULD NOT STOP doing crimes.

Been thinking for years now that it takes a worried man to sing a worried song but it might be these worried songs aren’t worth the effort.

My barber doesn’t speak much English so I just show her pictures of Johnny at various stages of life. Seventies Johnny could be next.
