"RIP to former Senate majority leader Harry Reid, whose death at age 82 prematurely cuts short a promising future in Democratic politics"

eve babitz and joan didion died within a week. never heard of the former til recently and wanted to indulge but read some didion back in the day when i read at all. she definitely seems like the patron st of cool chick writers for cool chick writers if they managed to live through their sylvia plath phase.

CHRISTMAS 2021

 

 

On the Color Wheel

Red and Green

Are opposites

But the technical term is Complimentary Colors

They call across the Spectrum

And vibrate in one another’s presence

 

In a time of too much opposition

Remember how Red and Green

Resolve their conflict 

Conjoining as the

Colors of Christmas

 

for some reason got a royal caribbean cruise ad in my email. just looking at the seven photos in the ad only to quickly notice that there was not a cruise ship among them. tough times when your best option is hiding the thing you are trying to sell.

Anyone else hear the ecco?

station eleven on hbo seems like a winner. went in pretty blind and im not sure where its headed so im not posting a trailer. 

food for thought

one final body blow closes out season 3 of succession. cant recommend it enough if you like good tv and horrible people.

So, NYC is about to play Portland for the MLS championship, and I haven't heard a word about it on DMTree?

Another question is why don't I have permission to post to 110%?

five year east river park plan underway

subway has a weekend popup outside my window on allen st called cookieway featuring, you guessed it, cookies. was wondering who would show up for subway cookies but apparently some people. theres about 20 low quality cookie sugar fiends queued up now. 

now i understand the despair felt over the loss of sondheim.

Rivington School

beautiful photo of central park. hope to visit there some day!

noticed i had no jam in the fridge. seems like fridges always have jam in them. doesnt a fridge just manifest them or is there some other way? also, what is your favorite jam and why are you wrong?

Looking for the D*sney work around,

black friday, year three: should i buy an instapot?

not one brining post. this is how communities lose their juice.
