Olive in the wok Earthgirl just gave me. The cottage in Acadia had one, a good one, this model, and I cooked with it constantly. But yes, my odometer clicked another mile this past midnight.
- I just bought the new Almost Completely Baxter for my odometer clicks up day.
- The people building the American Redoubt disagree with me on everything political - how we got here, what to do - but everyone agrees bad times are coming.
- Fredric Jameson's War Machine.
- The Rise of Illiberal Democracy.
- Then and Now and Never.
- Imagine the push-polling right this second by Clinton testing possible denunciations of Kaepernick. Though as I type this, it hasn't blown up like I thought it would. Still might.
- Better to be a jester than a priest.
- The Museum of Corruption.
- Maggie's weekly links.
- { feuilleton }'s weekly links.
- Distributed grammar.
- Mark Ford on Eliot's Collected.
- Eno gave me (and you) a microtonal music tool.

Something shimmers, something is hushed up.

except Sunday, when a small quail was induced
to be served to us. Why do I tell you these things?
You are not even here.
What Landru said. Ah, the Crackerbox Palace. *sigh*. I hope you have a Happy Day and can get out some. Also, good luck with the wok (sans Olive, I hope).
