I do this manually at the end of each week: collating most of the recent little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I also find knowing I will revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I generally take weekends off social media.
▰ Truly odd. What seemed to be a car alarm on loop turned out to be from a bus stop. It had gone off accidentally. A call to 311 (San Francisco) led to a call to the police (non-emergency). The noise was sorted out quickly. Unlike (most) car alarms, this didn’t stop after a minute or so. Kept looping.
▰ The absence of an apostrophe in the title to this great 1997 David Holmes album always bugged me, but the apparent after-the-fact introduction of an apostrophe bugs me even more
▰ Love when my microphone during a call thinks my allergy-induced coughing is me trying to talk and alerts me to turn on my microphone
▰ This new Jeff Parker album is a reminder that when it comes to my favorite music, the whole is often seemingly less than the sum of its parts
▰ Insane heat. A few days of chill. Then the Blue Angels show up.
▰ The Blue Angles are back for more World War III pre-enactment, canine incitement, and remote-triggering of car alarms
