You know, for kids. Lapsed philosopher; higher ed guy. I think things and write stuff. (I do have a (creative nonfiction) newsletter at thanks for asking.)
For my birthday, my family took me to Hometown Barbecue in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and we all got silly with meats. Then we made mango sticky rice at home (not pictured because in my belly).
This paragraph in particular: “While the U.S. military invents whole new genres of defeat …”
Some describe America as a glass half full; I describe it a little differently. (By artist Glen Martin Taylor)
This year at the NYC Pride March, Jesus types with giant signs and microphones going on and on about sin seemed much more present than in previous years.
I’ve been reading Lucas Bessire’s wonderful nonfiction book “Running Out” and learning tons of disturbing things along the way. Apparently in the early and mid twentieth century carbon black plants burned natural gas under metal frames. The soot that was left was scraped off for a coloring agent.
Okay so I am actually considering the purchase (for one penny) of this “Cute Corgi Riding Dolphin Dish Drying Mat For Kitchen Counter Dry Mats Microfiber Dish Drainer Mat Protector Pad Absorbent Fast Drying Kitchen Must-Have 16x18 Inch”
Talk about great math. This 6” bust of Pythagoras will only set you back $.01 today.
Love science but not your bright room? It’s your lucky day: for one cent you can pick up these Science Themed Blackout Curtains (mini wall print presumably not included).
Haul offers many $.01 delights, including this Just Married flag that is advertised as a “Double Sided Print,” though the backside text is reversed.
Just learned today that there’s something called Amazon “Haul” offering a bizarre collection of goods, including this skirt, for $.01. Yes, a penny. The skirt’s top feature is that it includes “Safety Trousers” that “prevent exposure to light when wearing short skirts.”
Happy Father’s Day, all. Here’s the full photo from which my avatar is taken. My son had a broken arm in a purple cast at the time (a color he chose). The pic was taken by my wife, an amazing amateur photographer.
One for today, and one for tomorrow. Regular cinnamon roll and a strawberry Earl Gray from Sunday Morning.
