Good dog – 04:43 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone there is one! the disembodied spirit of Jack the Ripper rides Scotty like a loa! For real, it’s a TOS episode! – 04:45 AM GMT
@frankrogan prescription indicated: bingewatch an equivalent amount of John Waters movies plus “Avalon”. – 04:47 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke like after Kirk and Spock are declared public domain, or with names like Mr. Pox and Captain Church – 04:50 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone fair enough, but obvs, JtR: ur-SK – 04:51 AM GMT
@mwhybark @LeavittAlone @sara_clarke Capt Church w/Mr. Pox lead the Enterprise on mission of discovery in the South Pacific, circa 1764 – 04:53 AM GMT
@mwhybark @LeavittAlone @sara_clarke the wind snaps in the tops’ls as the Enterprise to a Tahitian heading. Bosun Bruce comes topside. – 04:55 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke “Captain Chairch,” he cries, “The Hawaiian ambassador’s daughter’s been mairdered!” Mr. Pox locks eyes w/ Church. – 04:57 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke Dr. Feeney looks up from the girl’s body in the captain’s quarters, his hands bloody, tunic loose at the neck. – 04:59 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone or in my version, the Hawaiian Ambassador, but possessed by haole fever! – 05:01 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke it’s Father Inire and we get a crossover to Gene Wolfe as well. He’s been en masque for a century. – 05:04 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone it’s how he survives – 05:04 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone once he was known as Leonardo – 05:05 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke Since magister Moore is scripting, they have to travel to planets in a pattern that creates a pentagram – 05:07 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke i’m sold, this is a thing that should be done but maybe not under paramount license – 05:08 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone god, do it! the characters are archetypes by now, just write a good story & later figure out if you keep names – 05:10 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone ah, it’s a multivalent jam, no bigs. hyperthreads! – 05:11 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone so here the cold return bit is useful. SVU in space ish. – 05:12 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke hmm, what beloved TOS episode could you be referring to – 05:15 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke could it be “Journey to Babel”? Why yes! – 05:15 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone @phoebenorth she’ll do fine. Think of it as a Dhalgren riff. – 05:21 AM GMT
@mwhybark @sara_clarke @LeavittAlone @phoebenorth you guys know this project? vakarangi.blogspot.com // Art noted it to me. Fun to follow. – 05:24 AM GMT
Charlie sez: Case Nightmare Green remains ONNN antipope.org/charlie/blog-s… – 06:05 AM GMT
on iOS Well then! Campapalooza gear breakdown and rebuild is nearly done. New tent, some fiddly bits, cleaned a bunch of stuff. Packing next. – 06:19 AM GMT
As I started to run out to source the fiddly bits three neighborhood kids knocked on the door offering yardwork. I mowed last week. – 06:20 AM GMT
Just as I started to say no, I thought better of it and made up a bunch of stuff for them to do that took an hour or so. I washed dishes. – 06:21 AM GMT
Occasionally I came out to supervise or inhibit slapfights. In the end they did some light yard work and I paid them for it. – 06:23 AM GMT
They were sad to miss the dog, and Viv was bummed to miss them. Supposedly they’ll be back in two weeks. – 06:24 AM GMT
Fred Pohl on his editorial decision at Bantam to publish Dhalgren thewaythefutureblogs.com/2011/01/chip-d… – 07:25 AM GMT
on iOS @praguepainter naw, it’s a structured meditation on US urban culture at mid-20th c which uses complex literary techniques & an SF setting – 04:24 PM GMT
@praguepainter although Delany sets Bellona in the South, Bellona is unmistakably Manhattan, where he grew up. – 04:25 PM GMT
@praguepainter image of the depopulated city is a way of casting the protagonist’s social network within the metropolis into sharp relief – 04:28 PM GMT
@praguepainter that said, the setting, the ruined, abandoned, firelit city of night, is lovingly imagined. – 04:29 PM GMT
@ericweddle fantastic! I’ve had all these scattered on various tapes for years, it will be great to hear it clean and well-sourced. – 04:34 PM GMT
@praguepainter yes, exactly. Delany’s writing out of the sixties and into the seventies but it reflects and anticipates the LES scene – 09:06 PM GMT
@praguepainter the films that actually seems to have some Dhalgren DNA or sensibility are The Warriors and The Wiz. – 09:18 PM GMT

Herzog v/o promoting “The Act of Killing” as producer. Obviously I was going, but now it’s not just because I hate death-squad imperialism. – 12:34 AM GMT
Yes, that was a joke about genocide that included no untrue statements. – 12:39 AM GMT
What a luxury to have three weeks going thru camping gear to test and tighten up. I have a week to work on menus now. – 01:57 AM GMT
on the downside, this weather sends me chasing Adirondack recliners for weeks – 01:59 AM GMT
@brownpau found it! americanindian.si.edu/searchcollecti… – 07:15 PM GMT
@brownpau Emmons, who collected it, is an interesting character: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_T.… // one of abt three lg collectors in PNW ca 1900-10 – 08:12 PM GMT

@ChMadar @edinblack not even that – they just offshore the torture, so the promise has no value. – 12:29 AM GMT
6 new tweets in the time it took me to read 24h of tweets. Twitter, you are slipping. – 12:41 AM GMT
@GlennF in the Vonnegut sense? – 03:52 AM GMT
@ezrakilty c’est logique – 07:38 AM GMT
you would think it would be easy to order replacement buckles for m1943 style boots, but nooooo – 08:36 AM GMT

Make goddam sure Bezos reads this and make goddam sure we know it. Does he want to be the next Ballmer? No. geekwire.com/2013/open-lett… – 07:05 AM GMT

in 1972, my dad took me to an MLB game. in 2013, I have reciprocated. – 01:19 AM GMT

ugh, what a day. lawn mowed, leaves blown, new sink bought, new medicine cabinet installed, tub clog in process, old medicine cabinet rehung – 12:53 AM GMT
@billbarol oh yeah, birth razors are the new black – 12:57 AM GMT
@matthetube no, it ain’t that old! Although its new neighbor in the basement pooperia is that old, 1967. Still lacks the slot, though. – 01:00 AM GMT
.@ardaniel @arthurwyatt w00t SEEKRIT PROJECT REBEALED um revealed – 01:11 AM GMT
@matthetube as one assumes would be the case in a police station, which would employ potpourri in the po-po pooperia – 01:15 AM GMT
@gjcharlet are you gonna eat your toast? – 01:11 PM GMT

@mcgee_gorgo how many reasons do you want? is there a historicist time limit? Here’s one, which may contain all others: Ronald Reagan. – 12:01 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle I don’t even know where to start. Your premise appears to be that without faith patrols there would be war. Try again? – 12:13 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle and even though there will be faith patrols, war might yet go down. Also, Black Expo. – 12:14 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle don’t live in Indy. I grew up in Indiana. I am sure you don’t intend your words to carry the freight they do to me. – 12:17 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle I’m aware there’s been a raft of shootings affecting and mostly involving black residents of Indianapolis this year. – 12:19 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle I’m guessing your tweet previews black church-affiliated outreach groups seeking to encourage black and urban kids… – 12:21 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle to, like, not shoot each other w/ specific respect to a primarily black event, Black Expo. Reporting this is important. – 12:22 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle but the phrasing of the tweet presumes failure of the effort and casts that failure as war. Please make a note of it. – 12:24 AM GMT
And in conclusion, arrgh. – 12:25 AM GMT
@ericweddle @RbtKing fair enough, absolutely correct. hadn’t heard the word in that context due to distance from Indy. Thanks for followup. – 02:49 AM GMT
Viv is rocking KOTOR on her iPad and has lost patience with the made-up-language girl. – 03:23 AM GMT
@mathowie AAAAUGH – 03:23 AM GMT
I think i hafta go lie in the grass. it is the heart of the year. – 03:35 AM GMT
wait possibly the correct course of action is to lie in the grass reading Little Nemo sunday pages – 03:37 AM GMT
@johnmoe you are totally neglecting “Welcome Back, Kotter” in this analysis. – 05:19 AM GMT
@ericweddle i do see you tweet on these as they go by, running from site to site. hard part of your job, I bet. – 05:30 PM GMT

@BitterOldPunk @johnpstrohm well, some of it is good stuff, right? Omg, dude. – 05:45 AM GMT

My friend David Lasky just won an Eisner for he and Frank Young’s amazing Carter Family book. – 05:57 AM GMT
DAVID LASKY AND FRANK YOUNG FTW WOOOO – 06:14 AM GMT
I drove David and his partner Leeann to the Fanta store in SEA to check out David and Frank’s book at retail for the first time in September – 06:15 AM GMT
David and Leeann with the books, first time in the real world. pic.twitter.com/WEUWcmMG1k – 06:16 AM GMT
David signs my copy. pic.twitter.com/pdvwNFykYT – 06:16 AM GMT
The dedication: pic.twitter.com/QGcxOzs4gQ – 06:17 AM GMT
I’ve known David, at a moderate distance, for over twenty years. He is a legitimate comics genius. His Eisner is well-earned. I am thrilled. – 06:18 AM GMT

@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk oh, right, I get it. it took me until I was out of the house to appreciate the tapes (and the taping). – 03:47 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis good stuff! GoF is tiptop from that era. Remember those 80s reissues? Thank you unknown record exec! – 05:19 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis naturally, took me years to love Cheap Trick; I recall loving GoF pre “Man in a Uniform” immediately. – 10:55 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis I remember a hilarious summer night driving around with old pals who were totally not on the punk – 10:56 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis we parked to smoke our, um, cigarettes and they foolishly (if open-mindedly) asked me for a tape – 10:58 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis I had Killing Joke 1st LP b/w a GoF tape, Solid Gold + Entertainment. Dark Side of the Moon, ejected. – 10:59 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis KJ starts in with the non-blues scale and weird chant stuff and my buddies get all fidgety. – 11:00 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis KJ doesn’t even make it all the way through vinyl side A before someone hauls off and slugs someone. – 11:02 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis totally for no reason, the dude just heard the music as somehow so fighty it got under his skin. – 11:03 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis I’m agog, they’re in a kerfluffle, dude that got hit was MAD. Floyd, back in deck. Or maybe Marley. – 11:06 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @BitterOldPunk @ADeCurtis whichever. Floyd, “Money”; Marley (Dickens’ ghost) rattles his chains of capital. No Gang of Four. – 11:07 PM GMT
@johnpstrohm @harryburgan aint it the way of the world brothers – 11:11 PM GMT
Craigslist listing pics shot. Tents, keeper and listing, set up, shot, and either struck or left. we got our dollar outta that Costco tent. – 11:47 PM GMT
Also, that Costco tent is a feature bonanza! Too bad it’s small enough that fifty year old me won’t ever use it. – 11:48 PM GMT
