Exhausting veteran of 27 years' worth of internet. I still invented liveblogging.

One last one. Another shot from Ulysses in Nighttown, with famously difficult actor Zero Mostel looking soulful and TLJ looking like you could store water in the hollows of his cheeks.

The fragrance is Dunhill’s Edition because I like to keep things “random,” as the kids say.

I was curious about Twitter's job search function—part of Musk's attempt at turning Twitter into the everything-app—so I took a look. It's pathetic. Somebody did the bare minimum of effort to humor their boss.

In 2020, the boss of my boss asked employees for suggestions for a thoughtful response our design company could make to Black Lives Matter. I said, well, what if we publicly announced we would no longer be taking on law enforcement as clients? He acted as if I was about stick my finger in a socket.

I am still too unstudied to figure out Yoyogi's notes on my own; I interpret it primarily as something like pine at the maximum extent of its sweetness. Mown grass is listed as a note, and I *kinda* get that if I squint my nose real hard.

Yoyogi is a park in Tokyo, a modern one. The area was home to the Olympic Village and a rather snazzy suspension-roof stadium, both built for the 1964 Summer Olympics, before being incorporated into a park three years later.
