Got a $5 ticket to see Spider-Man. Prices in the Berkshires are slightly different than NYC. 🙃
For international sports, the networks should just replace every announcer with Leslie Jones. She’s a national treasure. ⚽️
It feels good to be able to unambiguously cheer on an American trolling Europeans. ⚽️
Aaaaand to laugh at the Brits who find Morgan just so uncouth.
I rarely plug fundraisers on here, but I love Rachel Lark’s music and if her Patreon gets to 250 supporters, she’ll come out east!
Finally upgrading my laptop to Mojave. From El Cap. You know, to see if they have all the bugs ironed out. 🙃 //@kimonostereo
Privacy…I inquired about an Airbnb asking about security cameras, particularly in the bedroom.
Host’s response? Declining my request to book because they had a toddler and felt freaked out by my question.
So…not wanting to be surveilled now means one is a dangerous predator?
So I've gone mute and it's super weird.
So human brains are constantly surprising. I had a massive shift during therapy today and a side effect is I have gone physically mute. Like, my vocal cords don’t work.
It’s only be about 6 hours and I’ve started to be able to make grunts, so I’m not particularly worried. But the combo of brain plasticity and psychosomatic symptoms is bizarre.
And thank goodness for Quakerism. Plenty of experience practicing day long silence. :)
@johnphilpin Any thoughts about what’s happening in Venezuela?
Winer really should stop talking about privilege. How much did a computer cost in 1997? Might having to go to a public library* to use one be a hurdle? Even if one wants to ignore the way race is inescapable in the US, wealth is also a form of privilege.
* If your town’s had one.
Booked my ticket from Albany to LA. I’ll end up with enough points to get super elite status. 🙃
Which semi-ironically gets me free access to United lounges when I fly.
So am I completely bonkers for considering taking a train to LA for a gig instead of flying out? Carbon emissions and all.
I’ve been using the Luna dongle and my 12.9” iPad as a second monitor while drafting this week. So useful. I haven’t noticed even a bit of lag (I’m connected via a cord as I’m on an institutional WiFi network, so not sure how snappy wireless would be). 🖋💻
Do you know what I don’t want Gas Station TV? “A new and exciting experience every time I pump.” How ‘bout some peace and quiet instead. 🙄
Speaking of British politics, @johnphilpin, I particularly enjoyed the juxtaposition of these headlines in The Guardian.
So is May’s offer to Corbyn actually a strategy to get Labour to emulate the Tories’ disintegration as a functional party?
Tala Manassah speaks Truth:
25 years ago today, an Israeli Jew entered the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron and murdered 29 praying Palestinians. Today, the Kahanist terrorist movement he was a part of— formally the “Jewish Power” party— a bunch of fascist pigs, are joining the Israeli government at the invitation of the PM. Tell me, liberal Zionist friends, so called peaceniks, people who believe in the fantasy of a state that is both Jewish and democratic: what should we Palestinians do in the face of all this? What is the appropriate reaction of those whose slow annihilation is ongoing and whose total extermination is imminent?
Which one is not like the other ones?
The Visionary Leadership Award honors a leader whose trailblazing work is impacting the world.

Experience First, Picture Second
Narrated by Liam Neeson and with musical score by Bill Whelan, the film includes interviews with President Bill Clinton, President Jimmy Carter, US Senators and Congressmen, as well as Irish leaders and British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and John Major.
Their first work was about a person who was part cardboard box….Housekeepers become their tools of labour with arms replaced by leather brushes. Humans, jellyfish and bacteria unite in a single organism on a petridish stage.

In this talk, Louisa Lim examines the ways in which the legacy of Tiananmen has been excised from the collective and institutional memory in today’s China, as well as looking at the cost of memory and the role that foreign correspondents play in shaping memories of June Fourth outside China.
Come see Yalies get confused by a chicken on March 29th!
