Now my primary account - supposed to be a home for all my paper, design, art, poetry and ephemera ramblings. But is ending up a place I post bird and landscape photos, with the occasional climate, environment and tech bits thrown in.

Got to love a restaurant that brings the bill in a children’s book - we had the pork belly. I wonder if they have a rabbit dish? #beatrixpotter #bookuse

Maybe I am overthinking this, but feels like some top notch passive aggressive branding

another high drama #sunrise over the bay this morning. Check out that #marinelayer

panoramic view of sunrise over the San Rafael, Richmond bridge. With a thin strip of golden dawn light trapped between a dark foreground and brooding, heavy marine layer cloud.

@msquebanh thank you, I'm lucky to have this view to wake up to. And 2 small dogs to ensure I'm up early enough to see it.

Look at this SUV douchebag - he literally skids into the parking space and surprise surprise he gets out with wife and 2 kids under 5.
Darren Cullen nailed it with his faux SUV ad.

@ai6yr i ‘love’ all the miracle things we discovered we could add to other things to ‘improve’ them - lead was a huge one that came up again and again. From artists dying from making lead based white paint (since the middle ages) to victorian women and their poisonous face cream and makeup on to Midgley and ‘this will stop that engine rattle’.
In the current digital world I can’t help but think AI is the new lead, poisoning and corrupting everything it’s added to.

@qurlyjoe @ai6yr the commodification of plastics makes past pervasiveness of lead look like a knocking over a paint pot.
Anyone know who the Thomas Midgley of the plastics world is?
I’d definitely like to include (as a special mention even if minor impact) whoever put micro plastic beads in skin care etc.

When watching people being interviewed at home or in their office on cable news, etc., they often have their book collection clearly visible in the background. Do you ever make an effort to read the titles of those books?

@lauren I always feel that folk who interview like this, spend a lot of time positioning books so that certain covers/titles show.

Dwell magazine's Alana Hope Levinson has written a thoughtful feature on the joy of "puttering" — relaxing by carrying out low-stakes household chores — and you can read it here. But we got distracted by the language used in the article, since, she claims, "puttering" can also be referred to as "piddling," and where we come from, you certainly don't go piddling around the house. What word do you use for the pastime of puttering?

@CultureDesk I just found another Pootle reference (via the infinite Pooh bot). Piglet gets called Henry Pootel Piglet by Christopher Robin.
