ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo showing the edge of a rooftop lined with jagged glass shards embedded in cement, likely for security. The shards glint faintly against an overcast sky. In the background, utility poles with tangled electrical wires and ceramic insulators stretch across the frame. On the right, dried plant stems hang over the rooftop, their brittle texture contrasting with the hard glass and concrete. The image evokes a sense of urban decay and quiet tensio…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome image of a fenced-off area, likely under construction or restricted. The metal fence bears handwritten Chinese characters: “No entry” and “No peddling.” Behind the fence are tall trees and a power line running horizontally. In the foreground, a covered object with a brick on top sits near a streetlamp. The scene feels quiet and controlled, with signs of urban regulation and exclusion. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，显示一个被金属围栏封锁的区域，可能是施工或限制通行的场所。围栏上手写着中文：“禁止通行”和“禁…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A grayscale photo showing several concrete blocks arranged on a grassy patch. Some blocks stand upright, others lie flat. They are partially covered with coarse, weathered fabric—possibly burlap—with visible holes and frayed edges. The background includes tiled pavement and more grass. The scene suggests a temporary construction setup or abandoned materials, with textures of rough stone and worn cloth. 中文替代文字： 这是一张灰度照片，画面中有几块混凝土砖块摆放在草地上，有的竖立，有的平躺。砖块部分被粗糙、风化的布料覆…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image capturing a dense network of utility poles and electrical wires. Multiple concrete poles are fitted with insulators, transformers, and other components. Wires crisscross in various directions, forming a complex web. The monochrome palette emphasizes the geometry and industrial feel of the infrastructure. The image reflects the intricacy and importance of urban power distribution systems. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了密集的电力基础设施网络。多个混凝土电线杆上安装有绝缘器、变压器…

Keith Jarrett - "Restoration Ruin" (1968)
Jarrett does baroque folk pop? He sings on most every track. Bizarre and excellent.

Chancellor Thomas Gibson is offering a challenge to #UWM faculty and staff: Raise a total of $1,000 by the end of this week, and he will match with a $1,000 gift. Visits to the UWM food pantry rose more than 41% from September to October, as the federal government shutdown cut paychecks and certain government benefits and demand is expected to spike in the coming days as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are interrupted.
It's a good cause.

Here’s my 35th “Long Links” outing, curation of long-form offerings, which assume that nobody has time to read all this stuff but one or two of the pieces might brighten your day. This one is mostly political but some of the politics are from France and China. Plus a way-cool analytical history of blogging and a section labeled “wonderful things”.

Stop pretending that things are not seriously messed up. See the STN for what it is. Stop pretending that CS holds answers it does not. Don’t try to instill improved characteristics into rotten enterprises. The first question to ask: should you build the thing at all? 7. Attend to the primary reason for the thing; follow the money. Move slow and fix things. Foreground your employer’s social impact. Stop the Orwellian double-speak. Don’t sleep with the enemy. Don’t work for or accep…

Dekonstruktion! #project25

Ein beiger Kachelofen demnoffenbar schon die oberste Schicht Steine fehlt. Er wird scheinbar gerade abgerissen. Vor dem Ofen liegen einige Reste an Schutt.
Ein fast leerer Raum. An der Rückwand ist ein rechteckiges Loch und davor im Boden eine rechteckige Aussparung in der der Beton des Fußbodens zu sehen ist. Ein Ofenrohr guckt daneben aus der Wand. Linke untere Ecke: ein alter runder Holztisch. In der Bildmitte fährt ein Roomba Saugroboter über den Laminatboden.
Ein Raum mit einem Ofen der scheinbar gerade abgebaut wird. Er steht auf einer rechteckigen Steinplatte die größer ist als der Ofen. Vermutlich war dort ringsum noch ein Kachelofen der schon abgerissen wurde. Der schwarze Staub auf dem Laminatboden deutet auf Abrissarbeiten hin. Rechts am Rand eine Tür die nach hinten durch den Flur führt. Am Ende des Flures eine offene Haustür und Büsche. Im Flur steht eine Schubkarre mit rotem Gestell. Auf der Schubkarre stehe. Die Buchstaben FAZ
Ein beiger Kachelofen von dem ca. 1/3 der oberen Steine entfernt wurde. Vorne links am Ofen ein eisernes Lüftungsgitter. Darauf liegt ein Maurerhammer.

Around 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA officers are facing work without pay,
leading to surging absences and sick says.
Since the shutdown began on October 1, staff absences have contributed to 53 percent of all flight delays compared to the usual 5 percent.
On some days almost 6,000 flights have been hit by delays, with several major airports forced to impose ground stops due to the shortages.
On Friday, more than 4,000 flights were delayed across the c…

Travel chaos as unpaid air traffic controllers abandon towers... while Thanksgiving threat looms
Americans will face more flight interruptions after Congress failed to provide last-minute relief for air-traffic controllers and aviation workers whose paychecks will stall due to the government shutdown.

I has a bed.
No mattress until Monday, but a bed fully stained and varnished and constructed.
Had to wait a couple of days for varnish which never came. Went out to an actual DIY shop in the end. Gonna have a lot of spare varnish soon.
Varnished the whole room with two more coats as well as the bed twice.
A few more things to buy after Xmas and the full media setup can't happen until the new Steam Machine at its heart is released. Maybe cobble together something to plug a laptop into in the meantime? All for next year though once the mattress arrives and I can actually sleep in the bedroom.
