I thought you all were the very clever ones over there.

Don't make me post "Your Mumia sweatshirt won’t get you into heaven anymore."

First sighting of Zettelkasten I've seen outside a Zettelkasten blog! It is demanding. Probably best for full-time academics. I just use it to keep track of reading and am perennially behind.

Wheeeeee!

Oh no. Such an amazing drummer.

Very helpful thread. Thank you.

partial text of poem, Adam's Curse, by WB Yeats, linked in post: I said, ‘A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought, Our stitching and unstitching has been naught. Better go down upon your marrow-bones And scrub a kitchen pavement, or break stones Like an old pauper, in all kinds of weather; For to articulate sweet sounds together Is to work harder than all these, and yet Be thought an idler by the noisy set Of bankers, schoolmasters, and clergymen The martyrs call the world.’

Always loved that solo. Very poetic. Early Wayne, and I think he wrote the tune. I think the (very good) but not as deep for me Lee Morgan solo that follows shows how lyrical it is.

Instablock.

So this is really en banquette?

Absolutely mystified by so many smart people posting the video and broadcasting the propaganda.

We're going to win.

They're not stupid so they must be OK with it I guess.

Yes I am mystified at all the reposts of the propaganda.

I am genuinely at a loss as to why so many smart people are reposting this video and expanding its reach.

Block the bots.

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

They're freaking out.

Stephanopoulos is one of the few (if not the only) front-line anchors who does not have any fear of these people and the will to persist.

Wish their political reporters would catch up to their word nerds.

What a great day!

"For now, his administration can withhold some forms of congressionally appropriated funds, send undocumented immigrants to dangerous places such as South Sudan and use race as a criterion in making immigration stops, all because of emergency orders."

i.e. violate Constitution & law with impunity.

And taking the wrecking ball to it will make a generational image and great TV.
