Oh my god. (Part Two)
And Of Montreal recorded a song about toothbrushing:
Brush Brush Brush

– FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Constitutional Chicanery
Very good rundown of how the concept “constitutionality” is misunderstood by a lot of people and politicians.
The studio head just came over and asked who sat next to me. I couldn’t remember her name.
That is bad.
But I will never forget it now.

Interesting way to look at the US/China debt situation.
Working in Sketchup with jitter turned on is surreal. It’s constantly redrawing everything so it feels like you’re constructing a Bill Plympton cartoon.
The extra earbuds I ordered for my headphones that were stolen yesterday just arrived.
