I have for several years been obsessed with so-called PKM tools -- it's what I play with instead of Being Productive -- and I think I've finally found an actual long-term winner with the db version of logseq (which is still not formally released).

A black hole fell into a star – then ate its way out again

The grey stone walls, the broken country, the meagre trees, seemed to be telling him afresh the story of that painful past which he knew so well by heart. But no story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather, we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.

Someone asked me this week what's good about being a professor.
Today my answer is, I bought the bad edition of Spence's Anecdotes because it is printed from the corrupted copy of the master MS that Garrick read, which Johnson used in writing his Lives.
It gives me perverse satisfaction to cite.
