"beggars can't be choosers" wrong. it's about taste and choosing where it matters.

my french son...

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

the celebration (1998)

Walking through Kamurochō. Guy in a suit so white it makes me angry bumps into me so i throw a punch. Miss. He breaks a bicycle over my head. Individual leaves of lettuce and a single dog collar explode from my body as I collapse

lol... honestly the conflation does feel more and more accurate these days, although arguably the gaming-gambling distinction has always been on a spectrum

love when they call it the "gaming" industry. i love rolling it around in my mouth like a marble and try out the other ones; the watching industry, the reading industry, the listening industry. yeah, very serious industry here.

ha god i'd finish my tasks early and then play games on my phone while waiting on being given more tasks, then get reprimanded for being on my phone. ok give me new tasks faster then

of course doing too much work will fuck you up eventually, but assuming burnout is only a matter of workload is naive. in my opinion *and* experience, it doesn't matter if your workload is small, it's still gonna make you wanna kill yourself if the work itself feels meaningless.

crazy when you see "anti-burnout measures" that are all about limiting people's agency wrt how much work they can undertake... when i burnt out working a shit job ten years ago it wasnt so much the workload but everything around it making me feel disempowered, making the work itself unfulfilling.

thanks tom!

stuck with whatever OS it is in ouroborous incident

scribble in the book that says "l'histoire coloniale française" (french colonial history)

got someone's scribbled-in copy of perec's la disparition at the brunswick secondhand bookshop which i found out has a single relatively well-stocked shelf of french books. wonderful.
