@TW1NKD3STR0YER probably you'd be a lobbyist in Austin, but would find career fulfillment in Houston

@hobartmariner @whynotqat I was just thinking that he and Greg Kihn (perhaps his band too) must have colluded.

@TheStalwart The Power Broker was cut to a 1/3 of the original 1m words---but none ever wished it shorter.

@HeerJeet I have only been through a few of the boxes. There are over 200, as I recall, plus many paintings, drawings, clippings, etc., some of which, according to the finding aid, they had to remove for obscenity.

@HeerJeet I have read his comments in Davenport's papers in the HRC; they are hardly severe. A comical overreaction on Davenport's part.

I love having my human mania for the thrill of sequent happenings thwarted.

I have to admit there's something beguiling about the formula of this Homicide: LA show. Impulsive homicide followed by inept cover-up---indescribable stupidity, in fact---and the detectives act like they were dealing with Prof. Moriarty.

@becimay Those words were not very good, as it turned out, but maybe one day.

@opinonhaver What the populace calls 'Glonzo' is a family of squirrels whose electrovory has unleashed powers that might surprise you.

Medical school salaries---I hate to be a "what's the deal with that" poster, but I just saw a $200K salary with a .001 FTE. (Probably a mistake, but it's the messaging that matters. . .)

Was just watching this "Kubrick on Kubrick" piece, and he says: "Obviously, Barry Lyndon had to be played by someone good looking. You couldn't have an Al Pacino or Jack Nicholson."

What I'd really like to read is a lengthy Woodward access exposé on a year in the Faculty Senate. No one has been inside the Committee on Committees like this before.

There's a printout of minified javascript in the latest Houellebecq novel that looks like it might have been taken from an Amazon page? Maybe not. I'm already tired of the subject.

A loosely considered notion of torching some tent caterpillars who have overstepped their boundaries led me to read this and that, and soon I learned about frass: "Frass refers loosely to the more or less solid excreta of insects, and to certain other related matter."

This whole video is neat and informative if you're an emacs user, but I especially recommend the section on using the built-in calculator, which is mind-boggling: https://t.co/MNBMIl8QSC
