Both @jackieLbrewer and I are drinking Thiol Trip Tech, a double IPA I’ve not previously tried. We both like it okay.

When climate-change deniers want to spend more and more on border security, it’s a clear sign that they know perfectly well that climate change is happening.
“The debt pearl-clutchers are right: We are saddling our children and grandchildren with a bill they won’t be able to pay. But that bill doesn’t come from minting the money we need to save our species and civilization from the emergency on its doorstep – it comes from the false economy of skimping on climate and buying guard labor instead.”

Yesterday @jackieLbrewer and I had breakfast at Bo Peep’s, then went for a walk in the glorious bright sun at Mattis Park. Now it looks like it will be days before we see the sun again, but that’s of small consequence given that it looks to be rather nice for Halloween.

Preview of Neal Stephenson’s new book Termination Shock
Here’s a link to a not-so-short preview of Neal Stephenson’s new book Termination Shock, coming out next month.
The preview is full of all the wonderful stuff that I’ve always loved about Neal Stephenson’s writing—characters that are weirdly oddball yet completely relatable, and the sort of details that speak to both keen insight and deep obsession. Just in the first few pages we learn more than a little about how royalty think, how to fly a jet, the ecology of feral hogs, and the madness that comes from the death of a young child. And I think the very next bit is going to be about the martial arts of northern India.
I have already pre-ordered it, and can’t imagine any Neal Stephenson fan who starts reading the preview doing anything else.

Not the most cheerful poem I’ve ever seen stenciled on the sidewalk.

Mail.app glitched so that some of my inbox messages were no longer correctly associated with their headers. Rebuilding the inbox failed to fix it, so yesterday I moved everything into a new mailbox called “Damaged Inbox.”
By that simple expedient, I have achieved Inbox Zero, and have maintained that state for a solid 12 hours.
