Covid was- overwhelmingly- not a threat to children. Hence why (generally) we don't vaccinate them now.

The cartoonist has been doing the strip since 1998 - not sure when he went full-on surrealist.

I hate AI as much as the next person, however, I just entered the exact same question and got this réponse

# Free offer x
I need to get my car washed but the car wash is only 300 meters away.
Should I walk or drive to the car wash?

• You don't mind the short walk.

• The weather is decent.

• You'd like a bit of fresh air or steps in.

they take the car).
If the car wash is only 300 meters away (about a 3-4 minute walk), here's a simple way to decide:
• Walk if:
• Someone else can move the car into the wash bay when you arrive (or it's a hand-wash place where
• Drive if:
• You need the car there to actually be washed (most car washes require you to bring the car).
• The weather is bad or you're short on time.
• You're carrying things you don't want to haul on foot.
Realistically:
You'll probably need to drive, since the car has to be at the car wash to get cleaned.
But if someone else is taking the car there, walking 300 meters is totally reasonable.

Curious about the book? It’s a behemoth at over 1300 pages. (I bought the recent reprinting but ended up using this library copy as it’s split into 2 vols & easier on the wrist.

VOL. 1: IS 1-56478-013-9
[2-VOL. SET: 1-56478-015-5
$15.00
$30.00]
"A work of stunning magnitude and beauty.... The book's mysterious readability is effected through enchantment and hypnosis. Its force is cumulative; its method is amassment, as in the great styles of Joyce or Hermann Broch or Melville of Faulkner
••. One of the most arresting literary achievements in our last 20 years... It is a masterwork." — William Goyen, New York Times Book Review
"Marguerite Young is unquestionably a genius." — Kurt Vonnegut
"Miss MacIntosh, My Darling stands out in my mind as the most significant innovative novel since Ulysses and The Waves. Marguerite Young has added epic grandeur o the philosophical novel. Every page gleams with the poetry of existence."
Balakian
-Nona
"An extraordinary book by a woman possessed of a breathtaking verbal virtuosity.
She also has quality of heart.... There are times when her pages surge and beat on the heart and imagination like great music; other times when it shimmers motionless like an ancient Hindu painting." —Lillian Smith, Chicago Tribune
"Marguerite Young's eloquence has no parallel among the novelists of our time. It comes in rivers and whirlwinds and carries on its back, along with bits of unidentifiable matter, masses of rich and surprising life." —Mark Van Doren
"The most important work in American literature since Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.... The beauty of the book is final and imposing because it is simply there, like some awesome, heroic rock that will never know decay." —Howell Pearre, Nashville Banner
"A novel of massive achievement." —Jerzy Kosinski
"The key to the enjoyment of this amazing book is to abandon one's self to the detours, wanderings, elliptical and tangential journeys, accepting in return miraculous sur-prises. This is a search for reality through a maze of illusions and fantasy and dreams, ultimately asserting in the words of Calderon: "Life is a dream.' " — Anais Nin
"A captivating book.... Here we have some…

Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek.... • 3h M'kay. It's clear I need to be more specific.
When I say "sustainable," I'm not talking about for me in any way. Not for my posting, account, or income.
I don't monetize any of my socials and don't make a penny posting.
"Sustainable" means for Bluesky to become an ethical replacement for Twitter.

Saturday Night #CoffeyTunes AMM - Aura (2024). From a 2016 performance. The last live performance of AMM as a duo (Eddie Prevost & John Tilbury). Reminded me at times of AMMMUSIC more than a lot of their stuff. #AMM #musicsky 2/x

CD digipack. Aura by AMM. Minimal abstract artwork on a white cover. Wood cabinet and turntable in foreground, red wall in background.

Friday night #CoffeyTunes first of a series, though this is just one link in a chain that stretches back to a much earlier time… anyway, Ashley Paul — “Line the Clouds” (2013, R.E.L. Records). Gently noisy off-kilter stuff that can subtly rearrange your mental furniture & put it back. #musicsky 1/x
