@mshelton Did you research and write this article in the 36 hours since we last spoke? You're a machine.

@pieglue I _am_ reading the newsletters, but also blocking their sneaky little trackers

@cberret Bahahahaha. Says the newsletter organizer 😂

@Aramology Go on.

@dennistenen I love that bookstore! The stock is so well curated that you could mistake it for someone's private collection

A tiny bookstore inside the train station at Harrisburg, PA. Said, Hammett, and "Little Known Facts About Bundling in the New World." Along the route on the Pennsylvanian, from Lewistown (near Penn State) to NYC.

@justinskolnick How about we workshop it during the ballgame? I love multitasking.

@jacobgaboury Nice! Meet you by the art gallery?

@cberret Wait I am also in this room.

@actorlbd They have food-for-fines program where you can bring in some canned food to clear the slate. Apparently it runs in the fall.

Literature review procrastination = $50 in library fines. Can I get a tax deduction for that? (I’m kidding. Don’t audit me.)

@tainab @shannonmattern I think there's a cultural history of chairs in Norbert Elias's The Civilizing Process

Looking for media/cultural theory of *chairs* (yes, chairs). I've found stuff on doors, and tables, but not chairs. Prob some useful stuff in design, architecture or material culture. But need link to media(tion)/cultural techniques. Anyone? (cc @shannonmattern)

@cocteau I’ve heard lederhosen are immensely underrated.

From Berlin to Tegernsee. The Bavarian Alps. I am getting used to a little vacation 😳

@peterwklein He must also have been unfamiliar with Vancouver’s original artisanal good

@cberret Sober? Your driver had cleary never seen Bob and Doug’s Great White North. Hoser.

@actorlbd I haven't looked into the full range of perks yet, but luggage tags?

.@cberret but will you order a Charter Subscriber membership card and attach it to your luggage?

@tgiltrow Get a puppy, Tom

@rumneeek Ouch. That bad?

Me today learning about algorithms in journalism:

@Yolo_Tengo Hi Kevin!! (Come visit us in Vancouver)

@cberret Hello, Charles!!!

Can the Subaltern Yeet

@fabulavancouver wait, are you placing journalism studies under the banner of annoying people studies?

@cberret Tell that to all the media critics who crapped on us for decades before Facebook game them a new target.:)

Aaand now back at council for the vote on the Broadway subway report. (Yes, I have no life.)

@fabulavancouver Scholarly studies of annoying people have a tendency to backfire

I have to say, someone could get a great PhD thesis over the snobbish and stereotyping statements people make about condos, as though there aren't tonnes of not very rich Vancouver people living in them. (Though, yes, some are crazy rich.)

@madalinampreda Tsering said that lady stopped to pet Shoshi on a walk recently! She might even live in our neighbourhood...

@cberret I think you meant #Vancoooouveeeeeer

@binarybits @sivavaid Many Republican strategists take it as gospel that Democrats can only win from the center, so they think giving publicity to progressive candidates is a sly way to weaken the left

Republicans seem to think making AOC the face of the Democratic party would be a win for them and I have no idea why.
