anyway here’s an author’s tip if not annoying me is on yr to-do list: don’t say “scribed” when you mean “wrote”

just discovered — while fact-checking a sentence in this book that annoyed me — that fungi was only declared its own kingdom in 1969 (& not eg by linnaeus or some such)

as a grumpy under-employed copy-editor on the verge of retirement the question I want to ask why is everything I read so far (published books) so padded and over-written (ps I know the answer)

Weiss's lack of professionalism is an important asset in her role, because professional norms are a kind of collective action by the staff. "This is how one runs a newsroom" or "this is how we've always done tings" are sources of authority independent of ownership. Her job is to knock all that down.

every time I pass thru crowhurst it reminds me of the first grown-up library book I read as a kid (my mum’s I’m guessing): the strange last journey of donald crowhurst by nicholas tomalin, abt a competitive round-the-world yacht guy who went mad at sea after devising a way of cheating

important small-child negotiation underway nearby abt respective times in the window seat for an 8-minute journey (4 each, all very equitable)

always exciting to be on a strange suburban train with no working electronic notice board or announcements to tell you what the upcoming stations are

an important bit of solid trash journalism right now wd be contacting the signatories of the harpers letter & reporting their various reactions to the 60 minutes debacle

(this is what gawker was for, who will take up the torch?) (the shuttering of gawker was a foretaste of the 60 minutes debacle)

my plan to write a couple of belated xmas reply-letters on the train is going badly, basically i will never not stare out of the window instead
