Conversations in the world

Berkeley, Tuesday, June 2, 2026 11:45 PM

Mention of names are not endorsements. Even by me just saying a few words. I am surprised by the deep and details some folks in sharing some things either from life or art. I learned about the little remaining part of former people’s park. I learned about the former Berkeley Barb newspaper. Hopefully, there will be more publications. I learned a bit of the 19060s and 1970s. Then by art example, I learned about Robert Crumb. I was talking with someone who is his fan, and produce quite interesting comics, and some political and urban reality satire.

Then, not by example, but by background studies, I learned about James Joyce. I have not read him. I might have his Ulysses work in the bookshelf.

Time is limited. I hope I can hit deadlines.
