Her darllen arall am y flwyddyn ar @thestorygraph - darllen “cyfres” Hanes Duluoz gan #JackKerouac, hynny yw ei ffuglen lled-hunangofiannol i gyd mewn trefn amser y stori, nid cyhoeddiad y llyfrau ei hunain.

Sy’n eitha handi, gan mod i newydd ffeindio Visions of Gerard a Doctor Sax mewn siop elusen, a does dim copi o The Town and the City, ei nofel gyhoeddiedig gyntaf, gyda fi.

Diwrnod eira!

Mae’r cwmni bysiau wedi canslo gwasanaeth y T5, a heddiw yw’r un dosbarth lle mae hanner y dysgwyr yn defnyddio’r bws. Diwrnod i’r Brenin (sef, #JackKerouac)

I love neon signs! El Tecolote Cafe/Camarillo, California. Not far from where Jack Kerouac started The Dharma Bums.

Jack Kerouac: "Somewhere near Camarillo where Charlie Parker’d been mad and relaxed back to normal health..." #Camarillo #JackKerouac

4 * THE DHARMA BUMS gondola as we headed into a siding to give a train right of way and looked surprised to see me there. He established himself at the other end of the gondola and lay down, facing me, with his head on his own miserably small pack and said nothing. By and by they blew the highball whistle after the eastbound freight had smashed through on the main line and we pulled out as the air got colder and fog began to blow from the sea over the warm valleys of the coast. Both the litcle bum and I, after un- successful attempts to huddle on the cold steel in wraparounds, got up and paced back and forth and jumped and flapped arms at each our end of the gon. Pretty soon we headed into another siding at a small railroad town and I figured I needed a poor- boy of Tokay wine to complete the cold dusk run to Santa Barbara. “Will you watch my pack while I run over there and get a bottle of wine?” “Sure thing” I jumped over the side and ran across Highway 101 to the store, and bought, besides wine, a litcle bread and candy. I ran back to my freight train which had another fifteen minutes to wait in the now warm sunny scene. But it was late after- noon and bound to get cold soon. The litcle bum was sitting crosslegged at his end before a pitiful repast of one can of sardines. I took pity on him and went over and said, “How about a little wine to warm you up? Maybe youd like some bread and cheese with your sardines.”

At the right-wing Turning Point Action conference, recently-fired former Fox News host and current Twitter talk show anchor Tucker Carlson shared what he believes it means to be an American: pure unadulterated hate. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tucker-carlson-americans-right-to-decide-who-you-hate-1234789196/

It always makes me proud to love the world somehow – hate's so easy compared. (1922 - 1969), (Duluoz Legend), 1962

Twitter is now paying people to spread hate

Reminder: if you’re still on Twitter—your presence and your interactions generate revenue. You’re literally funding the alt right.

Reading "Mazes for Programmers" by Jamis Buck and it's good but noticing that I'm typing the code instead of really thinking about it.

Happens often enough with this brain that I have a fix: implement the logic in one or more other languages as I read.

@randomgeek Then again, #TrumanCapote liked to say the authors he didn’t like weren’t writers but typists: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/09/18/typing/
(most famously #JackKerouac and others of the #BeatGeneration)
