The multi-page sentence has a glittery though exhausting effect in this book. I can’t say I love it but nor do I hate it. And I certainly admire Marquez for wielding it the way he does.

How can I make Bluesky work / become interesting? It’s so dead here. I find myself back at Twitter for the Trump show and other entertainment. If there’s any tips for making Bluesky work, I’d love to know. But I’m sure no one will even see this!

Anyone else have a teenager whose energy seems to increase as the day goes on until they’re dancing around the house eating a huge bowl of cereal at midnight showing zero interest in being quiet & going to bed? 😩😖

@piratelawyer.com I enjoyed yr Copilot YouTube. There’s so many 🤬😩 users in the MS community forums going mad trying to turn Copilot & that margin icon off, but ‘turning it off’ is a veneer if still paying for it, so I cancelled my sub in favour of 1-off purchases & free software. Huge weight off!

Endnotes are horrible. The in-text number hangs alluringly next to a word & promises interesting info, & if I can’t ignore it (I try), it forces me to traipse to the back to search for the reference. Use footnotes(!) so that main text & ref note are on same pg. It’s far more functional.
