It’s Tuesday
From Cam, to “thought leaders” Please stop writing posts like this. Where you make every sentence its own paragraph. To try and make your writing sound more insightful or profound. I have done this sometimes: it can be effective maybe! But it always reads self-important. And when you have that attitude as you write it’s...

Linkorinos for Friday
I wrote about Ed Piskor the other day. Katie Skelly’s obituary is a comprehensive retelling of his career. Too short. Maybe I’ve not mentioned Ukraine lately. But Ukraine must win. Most, if not all things, Timothy Snyder recommends ought to be read carefully: Congress must let Ukraine win: The Ukrainian armed forces are defending basic...

a variety of links
MovieBob has a new video series that is astounding and wonderful: “THIS MOVIE EXISTS”: GINGER (1971), THE CRUSADES (1935), HAPPILY EVER AFTER (1993)–all three are weird and surprising in many ways. I love learning about films at the edges of moviedom! James shares his self-doubts in a way I find brave. Evening listening: Asking yourself...

Surf Sucks: Time For Misc
Ugh. Surf report for south San Diego is dismal this morning: It’s a total mess out there this morning as potent storm front continues to blow through the area. A new and strong WNW swell has moved into our areas and is overriding what ever swell activity is out there. Shoulder to overhead sets are...

On Topics Various And Sundry (Misc Morning)
Drawing For Nothing: Ever wonder what happened to that movie that was announced but never came out? Saw a great animated film but learned it completely bombed in the box office but you thought it had promise? While those movies probably won’t ever be given a second chance, they each can have their own spotlight...

Misc Loquacious Linquacious Cascade
It’s rare for me not to sleep great. And… I’ve not slept great the last few days. The rain prevented watergoing for a few days. And now it’s persistent wind preventing ocean swimming and bodysurfing. Yes, I need the water. I mentioned The Magic Mike wetsuit in April last year and now that my prior...

Items You May or May Not Wish To Read and Look At
How Latin America Revolutionized Baseball: Some Latinos were able to bend the rules because of their skin color, but they were never considered “superstars” by the general public or media before 1947—except for one. His name was Adolfo Lugue from Havana Cuba, and he was considered a “white-Cuban.” In 1923, Adolfo won 27 games for...

Zero Theme Link-o-rama
Being a post on the many things I’ve read, half-read, meant to read. But first, here’s Joe with a San Diego weather follow-up: The Jan. 22 Floods Displaced More Than 1,000 San Diegans from Their Homes. The Bruce Sterling prediction for the future from back when he was doing Viridian remains as true as ever:...

Monday Misk-ell-eh-knee-us.
Jerry Beck is my favorite animation historian, his post What did Disney ever do? is perfect. It has become the habit of the world to disdain anything seemingly-well-known. Nothing is important. And that’s simply not so. You may not like where the world is but that doesn’t mean that it’s improved over time. The world...

Galactic Notes from The IndieWeb
James was good enough to provide this feedback during this morning’s IndieWeb online meeting: I see this when subscribing to your homepage microformats feed in Monocle: I don’t use Monocle but figured immediately what the issue might be, I had prioritized markup for myself generally, and for individual posts, but not for the main page...
