It's about 9:15 am in #NYC.
In about 45 minutes my wife and I will board an A train in uptown Manhattan and travel to City Hall, at the bottom of the island, where a noonday rally of #SeniorsForZohran will be held.
My wife is scheduled to speak.
Security and stamina permitting, I'll try to document the event.

I am in a very strange mood today.

I am thinking of changing my profile picture...
Thoughts?

My wife's first appearance (and my first video) on #loops ( #loopsvideo ), the people's anticapitalist answer to TikTok (and, I guess, RedNotes).

"Why I Hope to Die at 75"

I just set up a self-hosted instance of Wallabag and transfered over 3000 articles originally saved to Pocket. Reviewing them, I came across this nine year old article, which I forgot I'd saved. It is more urgently relevant now that I'm 71 -- and the world has taken the turns it has. My wife and I are going to talk about it with our kids.

Why I Hope to Die at 75

The Murena One shows how hard it is to de-Google your smartphone

[My wife and I are expecting our Murena One phones to arrive by 2024, at which point the adventure will begin. We are both in the privileged position of being retired (and sufficiently financially secure), so we're in a position to experiment with our phones. The Alter Kacker vanguard!]

The Murena One shows exactly how hard it is to de-Google your smartphone

Murena’s new phone runs /e/OS and can run most Android apps, but the company tries hard to minimize the amount of data it collects and sends to other companies.

Ascending a hill in #InwoodHillPark I encountered a chalked sentiment to which I am increasingly prone

I just carried a 12-lb. (5.4kg) sack of groceries from the unfortunately- (or is it defiantly- ?) named BJ's on 237th St. in Riverdale (da Bronx) to our apartment in #Inwood, #UpperManhattan, a distance of 1.4 miles (~2.25km).
Does Strava record activity like that? I don't know, but I'll bet not.
I want a damned gold star!

For the second day running I peed my pants while on a walk through the park.
This confirms my suspicion that I have to ignore the money-saving tip that tells me that Rxs are efficacious beyond their expiration dates...and start taking meds that have not yet expired.

I need a special search engine which,
given my mishearing of a lyric,
returns its best guesses as to what that lyric *really is*.
The first query I would make:
What was the singer who
(emanating from a boom box I passed on my walk through the park)
I *heard* to be singing "I feel like a mud pie"
*really* singing?
Once I've construed a lyric that way it's hard to clear my head sufficiently to figure out what the true words might be...
