Going out for some pond building parts but had to take a break at the cΓuumaʕas river (su-u-ma-as) to watch the fishers coming in from a morning of sockeye salmon fishing. 🎣
Lots of sounds of Bald Eagles in the distance. Probably in the trees across the river looking for a fish to snatch up.
check out the pro trailer parking with the offset stalls. 😂 🅿️

I've had an earworm for 2 days now. Feel It Still (from Portugal. The Man.). It's the kind of earworm where you keep singing along. Out loud. It must be annoying--especially since today I'm singing it w/ the lyrics from Please Mr. Postman.

If you don’t have a mute button on your microphone, the next best thing is software that will mute your microphone at the system level. MicDrop is an example of an app I’ve tried for this (Mac only): https://getmicdrop.com

Watched all of "Ghosts US", the American version of the UK spooky sit-com.
There's like seventy episodes that I watched in less than a week. This is how I like telly to be. Relentless.
The show's weaker than the UK one in some ways but that shear continuity, the endless-seeming perpetuity of it, drove it into my brain.
US Ghosts are always trying to cop off with each other. Sexy ghosts. Pairing up. Don't remember much of that in the UK one. Perhaps when you make it 5x longer you're left with little else in the way of story to write.
Anyway, it's over now. I miss it in the way you might miss an infuriating neighbour if they moved out.

- Local high-degree polynomial integrals of geodesic flows and the generalized hodograph method
Sergei Agapov
"""
Writing has been an instrument for some of the highest expressions of the human spirit: poetry, philosophy, science. But to understand it — why it came into being, how it changed the human experience — we have to first appreciate its crass practicality. It evolved mainly as an instrument of the mundane: the economic, the administrative, the political.
Confusion over this point is understandable. Some scholars have equated the origin of “civilization” with the origin of writing. Laypeople sometimes take this equation to mean that with writing humanity put aside its barbarous past and started behaving in gentlemanly fashion, sipping tea and remembering to say “please.” And indeed, this may be only a mild caricature of what some nineteenth-century scholars actually meant by the equation: writing equals Greece equals Plato; illiteracy equals barbarism equals Attila the Hun.
But, in truth, if you add literacy to Attila the Hun, you don’t get Plato. You get Genghis Khan. During the thirteenth century, he administered what even today is the largest continuous land empire in the history of the world. And he could do so only because he had the requisite means of control: a script that, when carried by his pony express, amounted to the fastest large-scale information-processing technology of his era. One consequence was to give pillaging a scope beyond Attila’s wildest dreams. Information technology, like energy technology or any other technology, can be a tool for good or bad. By itself, it is no guarantor of moral progress or civility.

The Internet has ruined headlines.
It used to be that headlines had names. Now they carefully DO NOT on purpose, because using a generic role description is more likely to get a click-through to see who it is. The problem has bled into ledes as well, which are no longer synopses of stories but rather secondary teasers. You may be a few paragraphs into a story before you can get the information that every Journo 101 teacher would have demanded be in the first 3 lines.
Trump’s appeal isn’t rooted in policy;
it’s rooted in style.
