As much as I love Joe in a suit, he only wears them to events. Matty, on the other hand, wore them in the studio, or out and about in town, taking off the jacket as needed.

He also really doesn't wear the Jehovah's Witness style? That's very much a Matty thing. Joe wears normal suits to formal events like... literally every man on the planet. Sometimes he mixes it up and wears jeans or chinos with a jacket. Again, like every single fucking man on, as my heroine Philomena Cunk would say, this ball that we call Earth. Her putting in a line that specific is where she *is* writing about really personal things that happened to her. And obviously you can relate TSMWEL to your own shitty ex or to your friend's shitty ex or a shitty friend or idk even your dad if he's really shitty lol and he's like the smallest man who ever lived to you. All of that's valid TO YOU but Taylor was - very fucking clearly - talking about feeling that way towards Matty Healy.

And look, the whole thing surprised me. I didn't expect anything dramatic to come out of Joe because he's just a very undramatic person lol and like I'd have been frankly equally shocked if she'd suddenly dropped like hugely negative revelations about that man. I expected an album of YLM and SLL and HDIE vibes, yk? Also based on the name, I thought it'd be a pensive look at things in your life just falling apart while you try and hold them together. But instead the whole thing turned out to be a fuck u to Matty Healy and I accepted that because that's reality like... that's what happened.

Doesn't mean she's hung up on him now tho.

Time In A (Klein) Bottle

Starting in 2010 I’ve had fairly regular trouble with right wing hate groups. The most distressing lesson in this was discovering the cozy relationship between neo-Confederates and law enforcement. I keep records on what I do in the same fashion a lawyer would take contemperaneous notes while dealing with a sketchy client. This stuff gets backed up off site and I have a longtime friend who holds an air gapped copy.

That’s the set of events, 2174 of them, during the time I’ve been working on my new project. Almost nothing in there has anything to do with the new material, this is evidence, occasionally civil or criminal for someone else, but mostly exculpatory for me. Those files have at least a YYYY-MM-DD date stamp and a small percentage have YYYY-MM-DD-HH-SS. I used a little awk script to stamp the file modification times based on their names, and then The Timeline Project can ingest the whole directory.

There are a couple other tools with temporal capabilities in my kit.

Elasticsearch started life as a machine data indexing system – for handling consolidated logs of all systems in a data center. It’s grown from there into many areas, and for me it’s been a way to handle large volumes of Twitter data. That all came to a screeching halt back in April, but the historic material lingers. This historic image is the creation date histogram for Elon Musk’s new followers, from the purchase through the end of my API access.

One of my tasks this month is getting temporal data in and out of Sentinel Visualizer, as I described in Conversion Therapy. This is a law enforcement/intel grade link analysis system. I guess I could put my timeline material in there, but I’m much more interested in date/time data that has coordinates. I want to fully exercise its geospatial and temporal capabilities.

There are couple telemetry things I have going around the house. The only one that presents a nice visual output is Fitbit's sleep monitor.

The combination of contemporaneous notes with a sleep monitor are a sledge hammer that will be employed if I face another malicious prosecution attempt.

So that’s work,health, and the side effects thereof; what about the project?

Here’s some time related mood music.

I tried feeding the lyrics pages to the IBM Watson named entity recognition transform in Maltego but none of the top three sites worked. Wikipedia was the only thing that coughed up some names, and this is messy and poor quality.

Wikipedia has a marvelous resource in this area in its 239 pages of band member timelines. That happens to be the members of southern rock titans Lynyrd Skynyrd, one of a number of bands in that genre who've been touched by tragedy.

There are some things in this world that literally are best left to Philomena Cunk ...

Or to a series of related Gallifreyan adventurers.

The point here is that you are probably not going to be able to find a TARDIS in a timely fashion, even if you could afford one. You will need to "tool up" to follow things. You'll need a way to handle discrete events, things that happen over periods of time and ... for the brass ring ... the ability to handle fuzzy time. Things that happened no sooner than or no later than become vital to understand complex flows of events.

I've suggested The Timeline Project and mentioned one other tool, Sentinel Visualizer, that I use, but which would be a frightful expense for someone just following along for fun. The other way to come at this is not intuitive for investigators, but don't laugh ... at novel writing software.

You will encounter people, places, and things - all of which can be modeled as characters. There will be various vignettes - scenes and chapters. You might not have a full understanding of how to order events, but the Snowflake Method applies to sense-making as much as it does to writing fiction.
