It’s burger night in america

Army surplus trenchcoat. Columbo fall 🔜

Duketember keeps rolling

vintage lingerie store called Le Negligees d'Antan

I never stop thinking about robinson jeffers shattering the backboard bitchily characterizing americans as "easy to manage, a gregarious people, / full of sentiment, clever at mechanics, and we love our luxuries"

Kind of interesting that it's completely socially acceptable to pocket any pen or pencil you find lying around.

"He is worth knowing only for the children / He has reared as savages in Utah."

@azureemeraldempire.bsky.social yoooooo

I'm not attending the gun fight in the first place. I have other plans

you can walk into any college bar and find some hipster arguing Beatles covers are better than the original, but a much more plausible take I never hear is that *their* best songs were covers

You heard these guys? Pretty good imo

Last g&t of the summer is gonna have to make do with this pathetic little desiccated lime

Received two commonplace-book style newsletters in two weeks, both a joy to read. First @levistahl.bsky.social on autumn: this-not-that.ghost.io/issue-2-when...

Getting the lox bagel with the lox cream cheese

Here comes the neighborhood

Baby has developed a bit where she points at the baby gate until we close it (separating us), then stands at it rattling the bars lmao

Saw a mid-90s Roadmaster Estate wagon in fabulous condition on the highway 🫡

The Sam Kriss essay on John Hinkley is pretty good to the extent he’s dialed down his whole thing a bit. Still some headscratchers.

Made up a pretty good lullaby to the tune of the pathetiqie sonata

Saw some zoomers browsing the CDs at goodwill like “let’s buy some plastics” and “I bet that sounds great on plastic”

Memorial Three Days of the Condor screening…that guy could wear the hell out of a coat

Heard Spoon, “the underdog” on the radio. Now how did I not realize that was a Billy Joel song.

Favorite bit of Redford business is in The Sting when he flips his fork around to stir his coffee with the handle, then flips it again and resumes eating. When I was like ten this was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I still do it sometimes.

@azureemeraldempire.bsky.social oh my god dude check this out (should let you open in spotify if it exists on there): tidal.com/browse/album...

"vanished Eden," Le Grand Meaulnes-type novel about a really great forum thread the narrator once participated in and can never find a link again

This morning's portion of Yeats for memorization went into my brain instantly and frictionlessly. How did he do that.

They’re in my little town (>50% Hispanic) today. Casing the schools, from what I’m hearing.

Sorry but if you’re nice the whole year ‘round because you want to be a “good person” then you still haven’t killed the Santa in your head

Built a contraption

Had not checked out the Elsewhere Editions imprint at NYRB before (kids books in translation). Astounding-looking stuff here, now on sale. www.nyrb.com/collections/...

I’ve now seen all the Kelly-Sinatra movies and it is incredibly charming how they make Frankie into a bumbling geek every time. He shoulda done more with that.

I am trying to read a couple articles from French papers for research and they are *way* tighter on paywall stuff than US sites. All my usual workarounds are failing me.

Smooth Ruins

Possible new pfp. Need to sleep on it.

Digging tip: always nab a 45 that’s one song broken into “pt 1” and “pt 2” across the sides #tips

They don’t say “mankind” anymore, on account of we were proven not to be

Another: when the oven comes up to temperature, I say it's "pre-het"

Love Duke talk on the TL. The best, simple as.

say you love spaghetti. you eat it all the time. you open a restaurant. you dedicate your life to perfecting spaghetti. and then the guy who invented spaghetti shows up and is like hey buddy. try this. that's what the 60s and 70s jazz guys got to experience with duke ellington

And the second is like it

Dreamt I was in Ireland but hadn't made any plans for what to do or where to go. Eventually remembered I hadn’t even taken time off work.
