Now I just need to shorten and fasten the rest of the ikea bed slats. The horizontal support at the near end doubles up as my emergency tiller, and can be removed quickly. Both the angle beams and square tube are fiberglass ones from Grainger. The whole bed frame is intended for in-port use only, and can be taken apart quickly. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFcRWYvW_P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Makes me all screwy when I can’t take a lousy screenshot of a movie and share it, see! Makes people talk about movies, makes them get subscriotions and keep good honest movie companies in business, see! Ah, forget about it, just makes me so mad!”

A most fantastic film featured on Criterion Channel.. really a surprise, this role fit Burt Lancaster to perfection. Based on a story by John Cheever, whose name I only know from Seinfeld, due to being somewhat uncultured.

Fritz Lang’s ‘You only live once’, 1937. This is the amazing scene where Henry Fonda’s character is wishing that @filmstruck would allow screenshots on the iOS app.

Leiko Ikemura, 'Lying with Lion Red', 2009-10, Nevada Museum of Art. Reminds me of the water colours in a book with eastern tales I read as a child.

Generalisations about...

Funny how often it’s the case when it’s mentioned that a cyclist has been killed in traffic, people will mention how some cyclists jump red lights, ride on the sidewalk etc.

Imagine you read a story about a woman getting killed and people then make comments about how many women are annoying, how Hitler's girlfriend was a woman, how they saw a woman jump a queue in the supermarket etc.. Same twisted logic.

David Crosby's 'Laughing' (1970)

.. can be read as a comment on personal referral/cliquey network hiring practices, although of course it isn’t: 

"I thought I met a man who said

He knew a man who knew what was going on. I was mistaken, only another stranger that I knew

And I thought that I'd found the light to guide me through my nights and all this darknessI was mistaken, only reflections of a shadow that I saw

And I thought I've seen someone who seemed at last to know the truth. I was mistaken, only a child laughing in the sun, in the sun
