DURING hook-up sex tonight this guy asked me what the difference was between Webster's and American Heritage dictionaries, and this, friends, is why I miss wordless anonymous alleyway hookups of the 80s.
Maybe 45 years ago I had a nightmare about a malevolence in a specific dream-space; I've revisited that space in dreams from time to time.
Last night I uncovered the source of the malevolence and dissipated it, and brought peace to those originally harmed by it.

Sometimes it hits me that I lived in Chicago during the height of acid house, and you don’t realize you’re experiencing a *thing* particular to a location and time in the moment. (Ditto industrial.)

At The Comedy Studio about to watch @joshgondelman.bsky.social do his first set — following a really nice catch-up with him before his call, at a cafe (where I could successfully use cash).
Josh is truly the kindest performer in show business!

Café #2 doesn’t take cash, period, to which I say, fuck you, Harvard Square.

Stopped at a cafe in Harvard square and was told “Our cash isn’t working.”
(Further inquiry indicated that the “cash machine thing” [the register??] was down.)
I walked out.

If your response to the Converse racism is to try to make excuses for or defend Nike, the ad agency, and/or the art director’s intentions, perhaps you should examine your thought processes much more carefully.

When I drove back from East Texas to Dallas (on a different route), I again saw exactly zero signs.
I drove for a total of 5.5 hours, only about 1/3 of which was on interstate, and I saw ZERO lawn/yard signs for any politician, at all.
I'm not sure what this means, exactly, but I was surprised.

I just drove from the Dallas airport to about 2.5 hours east in the middle of nowhere (to friends’ house) and the entire trip I did not see one single solitary political sign. Zero. Nada. None.
