Well, this should be fun tomorrow. Best I can tell, any Eclipse Moore MM I have is pre-TPB, likely US 1st run, 1985-1989. Def not complete. – 05:35 AM GMT
@johnpstrohm amen! – 01:51 PM GMT
@whybark aargh! I had a ticket in California which went to a prior address. The culprit: old address on drivers license. – 11:37 PM GMT
@whybark Traffic violation? Arrest unlikely. They prolly just found you guilty and fined you. So you’ll have to pay that. NOT A LAWYER. – 11:39 PM GMT
@whybark by which I mean go hire one, and listen to them, not me. It will add to your costs but imagine if your initial take is correct. – 11:40 PM GMT

Rainier looms pink through the blue night haze. – 01:43 AM GMT
@johnpstrohm @dmacias37206 @Mediawill see, here’s where JPS should get an intern to write a grant and set up a 401(3c). – 01:50 AM GMT
501(3c)? I don’t fucking know. Whatever. You do, though. – 01:51 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone “Lipstick Traces” retread, but highly persuasive analysis and viewpoint. Not necessarily “Puritan,” but ecstatic millenarian. – 01:55 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone of which the Puritans are one flavor. So, more cousins than ancestors. – 01:56 AM GMT
@Mediawill @johnpstrohm @dmacias37206 JPS could set up an army of fact checkers on a grant based nonprofit. Or anyone could. – 01:58 AM GMT

@esinclai @manwhoyells thanks! – 08:25 AM GMT
@anildash not me, but my MIL (immigrant, check, check) does this. “What did she say?” “Why did they do that?” “That’s silly.” – 08:36 AM GMT
@anildash After thinking about it a bit, I think it’s a learned behavior from FOB days. Asking about media depictions helps calibrate. – 08:37 AM GMT

@johnpstrohm I only find the confusingly retitled source article, the 9k/90k one: deathandtaxesmag.com/204385/daft-pu… – 06:08 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm … and Stacey’s link to Caitlin’s tweet seems to be the source of the 13k error. Which may mean independent repetition of it. – 06:09 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm ha ha I mean 900k. Orders of magnitude! Maths! – 06:09 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm you should just start blogging these when they crop up, over time a centralized record will prove useful and shift the dialog. – 06:11 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm also, not that you want to get into a beef with David, but The Guardian would certainly be open to a correction. Go for it! – 06:16 PM GMT

Is there a single-serving Black Flag logo generator site? Because that would make me happy. – 07:12 AM GMT
@hell0jed moving may be a good idea, and drinking Rainier or Oly may be a good idea, but moving in order to drink Rainier or Oly may not be. – 08:12 AM GMT
@_trevornolan @alan_maguire also, ent there an Islands vs. US inversion on “public” when referring to kids’ schools? Maybe I am rong. – 08:15 AM GMT
@_trevornolan @alan_maguire yes: macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/… – 08:16 AM GMT
@_trevornolan @alan_maguire so the artist is mocking wealthy Manhattanites for not sending their kids to prole school, basically. – 08:17 AM GMT
@alan_maguire @_trevornolan good to know! I can’t grasp the etymology of the other usage. separated by a common tongue and so forth. – 08:21 AM GMT

mother and father in law just called asking how to put ipad to sleep. background soundtrack: Pavarotti, super loud, singing Pagliaccit. – 02:08 AM GMT
Apparently they got the device playing music successfully but cannot figure out how to get it to stop. Neither is a native English speaker. – 02:10 AM GMT
crying with laughter. I cannot figure out how to explain it to them, since the device has no fixed orientation. PAGLIACCI VEST LA GIUBBA – 02:13 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt there were other little references to Alien, Major Tom, and (weirdly) Elvis Costello’s “Red Shoes”. – 02:14 AM GMT

@kcfennessy wait, Simon Beale? Falstaff. Gotta be. I didn’t read the notes, just watched. In the 70s, Moorcock wanted Beale as Elric. – 03:52 AM GMT
