Take the wheel and drive by
I would strongly prefer to have started the year without respiratory crud. I travel tomorrow nonetheless. Have some things from the internet.
1. I love the idea of a ship's biscuit love token.
2. I had never heard the story of Lee Sallows and the self-enumerating pangram.
3. This poem sticks with me: Martín Espada, "Vivas to Those Who Have Failed: The Paterson Silk Strike, 1913."
4. Worth reading in full, especially the parentheses: Matthew Cheney, "The Narrative of Dead Narrative."
5. I can't remember which recent news item provoked me to leave myself the note "FUCK THE GHOST OF JOSEPH BREEN AND ALL HIS NECROMANCERS," but I'm sure it's still relevant.
I understand the concept of statistical outliers, but I still have a very hard time believing in the Boomer-Millennial culture wars when my father calls me up to discuss in detail the fourth-season finale of Lucifer (2016–).

No worries. (In general, do not worry about uncool sources with me. I do not tend to fret about cool.)
t I watched an astrology-based old TV show once and the Scorpios were invariably not to be trusted and usually murderous, because scorpios.
Whoa, what?
ETA: In other important news, in my attempts to gif all the Draculas I have now achieved Peter Cushing
Hooray!

Ha, at some point around 1974 someone apparently asked Roger Marshall to make the most 1970s thing he possibly could and so we got six episodes of Zodiac starring Anoushka Hempel and Anton Rodgers about a newspaper astrologist who is always right teaming up to solve crime with a detective who's only still in the police force because if he leaves he'll lose the money someone left them in their will. But it's pretty charming and, like I said, the most 1970s thing ever.
I think Scorpios are extra ambitious or something, according to the show, hence the tendency to murder more than other star signs, but anyway, Esther is down on them and Esther is never wrong about these things, much to Grad's annoyance. :-D
