Reading Don Quixote has made me realize that the Don himself is something of a quixotic figure, or, rather, that he very effectively puts on a quixotic performance.

Yeah there is something to be said for how inner balance and satisfaction aren't good propellants. I do think an exception is sustained flow state, which can at once be generative and nourishing.

Okay you've redeemed yourself. See how easy that was?

KC is rapidly losing my respect as an aesthete; definitely a minor character in the Sus arc of Dissensus

We could always pull a versh and go back and unreact to your posts. One of version's more spiteful qualities imo.

A toilet is haunting Europe

A happy black friday indeed!

So far yes, we had to evacuate my grandmother from laurel canyon last night, and my aunt and her family did as well. They all spent the night at our place, but thankfully that particular fire has seemingly been contained. There are still two raging 10,000+ acre fires active though, both about...

That was from what I call the First Incursion. Alas, lads, I feel a second coming on.

Recently just uncovered a bunch of mine from a few years ago, like discovering some alien yet latently familiar discourse.

Yeah its bad here, never seen winds like this in LA before. We have three separate 500+ acre fires within 10 miles of us, all of which are 0% contained, and 45 mph winds all around, after the driest start to a winter in like a decade or something. The Pasadena fire is now 10,000+ acres

Perhaps one of, if not the, leading reasons craner isn't as active here anymore is because we've graced him with such an abundance of valuable media, that his life has become saturated with meaning and love and he merely lacks the capacity to spend time here.

Yeah it’s not so much that my notes are important, but more that I think it would be cool to be able to access other peoples notes on a given book, and there just aren’t really robust practices in place for that (to my knowledge), hence why I’m doing it. It’s all using an open-source framework...

I’d have plenty to add to that thread!
