Black middle‐aged healthcare worker singing on 72nd St. with headphones what sounded like “My Jesus, Jesus my choice.” It was probably a bit of a corruption of “I Have Decided to Make Jesus My Choice,” a song with a false dichotomy contrasting devotion to wealth with devotion to Jesus, although I wouldn’t complain were it contrasting pursuit of wealth with pursuit of (potentially non‐theistic) spirituality.

Expensive cashews and diet Dr Pepper from JC with loud annoying Bengali who was partially blocking the door and then was underfoot in the shop. Fairly cute worker working behind the counter but not with me.

Naughty day.

FC back area and its landscaping with views of LFBG (8321–26).

Tall bearded morning‐time deli worker at F’town had a sort of RockBar æsthetic to him. Sexy man on 37th Ave. who entered Isabel (8327–30).

Blurry man on 72nd St. (8331–32).

Today and yesterday seem to be days when I have encountered multiple sexy men walking around my neighborhood who were looking very attractive in very tight trousers, notably man at 72nd St. and B’way yesterday while I was on my way to E21 and man on 72nd St. between 35th and 37th ave. today as I was returning from buying cashews at ABCC. I got even naughtier and bought dark chocolate–covered almonds at DR.

Perhaps historical figures should only be included if they appear in fiction (even if it’s fiction that hasn’t yet entered the public domain) or in those narrative non‐fiction pieces that read like fiction, sometimes even having dialogue, that you’ll often find in old‐timey magazines. (11:52)

I’ve been thinking about this. How about keeping the characters in the creator’s category even if we’re uncertain it belongs there and then expressing the uncertainty on the category page: something like “Characters created or co‐created (or suspected to be created or co‐created) by …”? (12:16)
