 15 things normally meant for twitter: 

1. Joe Ruby, creator of Scooby Doo died. Doo yourself a favor and dance to the Scooby doo theme today.

2. I put Nesquick chocolate mix into my Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal this morning, and I am forever changed.

3. DOT/NYC just cut down all the beautiful wild flowers along the belt parkway. WHY? ANND!! AND!! They didn't bother to clean up the garbage at Plum Beach (well, some of it, they did)... WTF? Pay me. I'll do it. 311 Plum Beach trash.

4. Piping Plovers are back. It's been a long, terrible struggle for them! I think they're a "canary in a coal mine" species... if they go, everything goes. 

5. Lake Charles

6. I don't know if Joy Reid wanted an atheist on her show. Joy/Bill just now was the best EVER.

7. Anchovies mix GREAT in cream cheese. There're recipes out there, but none for sale. Let's make money. 

8. Or on this (photo from train). I only mulled this idea over about 5 years ago. dammit. 

8. We're Not Worthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6BxAtc5cd0&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2LSqdw9QsOxbL99Fxk_7Az1jDZuiyZbQWOkBe102tX33Ckiw1jJXlhL7Y

9. https://www.feelsgoodmanfilm.com/trailer really. watch. This from my basketball buddies in Park Slope:

Just thought current and past Camp Friendship friends might find it cool that one of our founding members ARTHUR JONES has a documentary coming out this weekend. If you're curious to see it, now would be a good time, proceeds from this weekend's sneak peek go to local bookstores/theaters and pre-sale numbers help make their opening box office look bigger.

10. I heard Dionne Warwick sing "Always something there to remind me" on Star Search, but I thought she was singing the Naked Eyes' song.

11. a leading motivator in my life right now is to figure out how to use all the spinach in the huge plastic tub it comes in before it goes bad.

12. The military and sports are often lauded for their early racial integration. But they did it out of necessity. Not because they wanted to. For music, it was because musicians WANTED to find other music, other styles. Black and white musicians in the south SOUGHT each other out (forget about Elvis and money for a second. Obviously whites profited immensely off of black music for centuries...)... This is in OPPOSITION to the military and sports where they HAD to integrate. This is obviously a much more complex conversation than a tweet (or a post), but trying to parse a long-held inaccuracy about organizations. Attali doesn't really address this in "Noise: the political economy of music." Though... maybe insofar as his discussion on violence, and murder... sure.

13. Another leading motivator in my life is balancing NOT watching the McCann's oatmeal before it boils over, as long as I can. 

14. The cloud ceiling in New York has been very low over the last month. It almost feels like you're INDOORS. Especially weird on the beach.

15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGLaYUQF9Fw I never thought of this perspective. Vancie Flowers

16. Never a fan of Amy's organics. If I want "good" I'll make it myself. If I want a 7-11 burrito, I'll get it from them. HOWEVER, Amy's chipotle salsa is a game-changer. Yum.

17. https://twitter.com/MikeSington/status/1299074699385663488?s=20 this rules.

18. https://theawesomer.com/whats-the-name-of-this-song/587236/ this is why we need to get weirder music going. (I thought it was "Isn't she Lovely, by Stevie Wonder)
