    Threw some money at Pierre Bensusan (coming to town in 3 weeks) and the Meat Puppets (Live in Montana) at Bandcamp. So much guitar shredding, very different styles. #BandcampFriday

    Kid A went to Bordeaux for a semester to study sciences po, and civics and politics are breaking out big time. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/education/article/2026/10/02/hundreds-of-french-high-schools-shut-as-student-protests-escalate_6758169_104.html

    I love everything about trail running. The crunch of shoes on dirt and rock, the work, the play, the conversations, making friends, the fresh air. The absence of advertising out there is one of the very best things. No bullshit, no psychology, no capitalism.

    I loved listening to Debbie Millman talk about design while gardening this afternoon. Thanks to Ezra Klein, I guess. Who should reconsider his show&amp;#39;s theme music while we&amp;#39;re on the subject of blandness. Klein tried to invite Millman to concede that America&amp;#39;s political right was earnestly trying out theories of beauty, but she wasn&amp;#39;t having it.

    Luckily the slippery slope is only a logical fallacy. There&amp;#39;s no way this can go wrong. https://www.npr.org/2026/10/04/nx-s1-5977852/midterm-voting-is-underway-some-voters-are-relying-on-ai-to-make-a-decision

    I picked a tea at random from my pu-erh sampler. This is Yunnan Sourcing&amp;#39;s own 2021 Impression raw pu-erh. A blend of spring and autumn leaves. It&amp;#39;s for those who like an astringent brew. #teastodon

    My rhubarb is never very pink, but it&amp;#39;s ready to eat.

    We have two kinds of daylight in Colorado: spirit-sucking gloom (20 days a year), and blinding supernova (the other 345).

    Had to endure a sociopath making a phone call, a very dull and pointless phone call, in the gym sauna this afternoon. I should have brought my weirdo wool sauna hat. They would have been too scared to make a call.

    The new Altın Gün album of songs by Neşet Ertaş is so good, from the very first track: https://altingun.bandcamp.com/album/garip.

    Wow, respect for the #Cocodona 250 Mile runner leaving the 55 km aid station, 7 hours and 14 minutes in (I&amp;#39;m catching up) with a double cheeseburger in his hand.

    The snow is starting early here, so I guess we&amp;#39;re going to get a lot of it. Cancel all my meetings. It&amp;#39;s a snow day.

    Despite the recent frost at my tree&amp;#39;s most vulnerable moment, we have wee baby apricots on every branch. Roughly 15% survival.
