No longer on Tw*tter. IANAL and have no biomedical training beyond secondary school. I do try to travel in good company, though.

All sales as-is.

Can't find an image of the one I had, but there exists a notion of building a model plane styled as a crop-duster.

You build the plane, and the propeller works by rubber band. However, there's also a cylinder that gets packed with talcum powder, and the band agitates this for the effect in flight.

Suicide eight years ago, Blaxill co-author, and what's left of AiA is still leaning on him.

I can't remember whether I've already carped about the insipidness of Harry Frankfurt's "On Bullshit." Tossing it around has a decent chance of doing the opposite of what you were hoping for.

Maybe it's just me, but if you're going to go pimping a 10 second a day honey cure for dementia that has been suppressed by The Man while one still has the chance, you might want to get the fucking link to work.

Back when I lived in McHenry, Illinois, we would drive to the movie theater in nearby Crystal Lake. There was a guy who basically had a hut but turned out really good parmesan-caramel popcorn.

I am growing increasingly weary of the landlady's obsession with space weather. The Sun did not make your phone sluggish.

I am sympathetic to Robert Bringhurst's complaint that the closed em dash is stodgy, but this effort from a local coffeehouse is not the answer:

In the modern era, it was the 1st message sent on the Moscow–Washington hotline, in 1963, which led to some very confused questions from the English translators in the Kremlin: "what does this phrase mean?!"

One thing that frustrates me about Brautigan is his habit of always swinging for the fences.

Just get on base, man.
