The latest episode of Elizabeth Joan Kelly’s ELECTROJUNKYARD on CAMP Radio is fantastic – and I’d say that even if I didn’t have the good fortune to work with her.
“Kirby, did you eat the tape?” (No, he didn’t.)

Hello, November. Mask-optional days have begun at K's school: cue Marge Simpson grumble of unease. But hey, at least I'm semi-conscious this morning and feeling ok. NonFicComicsThing has returned in a new form and it's finally making sense though I know it would be easier to put together had a certain spatial thinking canvas app not decided to delete most of my text and erode my trust. Holding out hope for an update this week, hinthint – I want to sing its praises again because when it works it's wonderful. When it doesn't, not so much.
Related: Kevin Hodgson's implementation of Kevin Kelly's Internet Mapping Project has me intrigued. Might better light the path forward on NonFicComicsThing.
Dog-children sustenance, training, then back to work. Three days of conelife remain.
“The things we do for the orange Jesus…”
This staggering Washington Post report on the build-up, attack, and aftermath of the Capitol Riot is a must-read. The quote above was, according to the article, “recounted by a Republican lawmaker who heard it firsthand” as Republicans were “registering as co-sponsors to contest Biden’s victory in six key states” two hours before the attack began.

Humanity continues.
Think that's all I've got for this morning: finishing up this fornight's MacroParentheticals newsletter - will release by 1000 this morning – so I've been in this "summation / sharing" state all morning and will now feed dogchildren, do a bit of sit/stay training with Young Kirby, and get back to work so I can put the month to bed.
Four days of conelife remain.

Pressing forward: the nonfic comics thing is back – in a wildly different form – but I'll write more about that in this weekend's MacroParentheticals; fascinating experiment to write it AND write my process for a presentation. Opens up new avenues of thought.
Other things: great meal with great friends last night, laughs etc. Still feel human, blood sugar indicates otherwise, but that’s still the doublejab / lack of run on comaday doing its thing.
Five days of conelife remain; the day awaits.
