At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I\u2019ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I find knowing I\u2019ll revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at\u00a0post.lurk.org\/@disquiet<\/a>), and I\u2019m also trying out\u00a0a few others<\/a>. And I generally take weekends off social media.<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0Afternoon trio for \u2026 a trio of electric vehicles (two autonomous, one driven by a device called a human) whirring by at once<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0I\u2019m with Milchik on this one topic. \u201cThe theremin works best in moderation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0I watched and liked a video of a saxophone quartet doing what was originally a string quartet, composed by Philip Glass. Now I\u2019m getting solo guitar versions, guitar quartet versions, solo piano versions, theremin versions. YouTube radicalization is real. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0Your writing job is to write to best explore and express what you\u2019re thinking, not to tweak until all the little blue underlines magically disappear<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0One of my favorite current comic book illustrators, Declan Shalvey, draws MF Doom for just over 40 minutes:<\/p>\n
