I'm not going to pretend like Trump isn't the beating black heart of America, but I do sometimes wonder how he would've been perceived over the past decade if more media outlets had published his comments verbatim.

LOL, the gotcha part in the second paragraph is truly hilarious. Who will think of the straight white rightwing men in the literary world? WHO? WHO?

Last week, the longlists for the National Book Awards were announced. Among the 20 authors in the fiction and nonfiction categories, nearly all are straight white males. Most are also on the political right, some even on the far right. Remarkably, mainstream media outlets haven’t reported this, perhaps because they don’t think it’s noteworthy. It’s as if we were living in 1956 rather than 2026.

If you’re scratching your head at this “news,” well, it’s because I made it up. Or rather, I inverted the particulars about the authors’ identities and their political views to make a point: If today, as a reader, you recoil at the thought of a time in which minorities were systematically marginalized when it came to the literary world’s public honors (and so much else), shouldn’t you also recoil now that the tables have been almost completely turned? And if you object to the right’s efforts to politicize the arts, won’t you also object when the efforts come from the left?

Tim Walz was right to call them weird. Jon Ossoff is right to call them weird. It's not just effective messaging and factually true. Republicans spend so much time and energy viciously otherizing immigrants, queer people, leftists, and so many more groups. Gotta hold up a mirror to take on Medusa.

DEEP SKY (2023). Yes I will add the forty-minute IMAX film I saw with the price of admission to Seattle’s Chihuly museum.

Every science museum IMAX film has been basically the same thing with newer technology for thirty years. We’re ready to introduce aliens to the plot.

So @andreamontoro.bsky.social and I have decided to turn off our phones at 11:00 PM every night. We thought it would help us be more present and get more reading done, but in practice, we just shriek at each other, “DON’T TALK TO ME, I BARELY HAVE ANY SCREEN TIME LEFT.” So, uh, mission accomplished?

Shout-out to the Wholigan Discord for making me aware of this poem by Louise Glück, what I now consider the final word on all ODYSSEY discourse.

Telemachus' Detachment

When I was a child looking
at my parents' lives, you know
what I thought? I thought
heartbreaking. Now I think
heartbreaking, but also
insane. Also
very funny.

THE ODYSSEY (2026). Shout-out to Pylos, I guess a real geographic location but also the name of a Greek place in the East Village that I like.

That’s twice that a Matt Damon character has been on the receiving end of a “Having seen Crimson Tide on Showtime last weekend, I believe the only course of action available to us is passenger mutiny!” speech.

That feeling when I can finally post an image I saved a year and a half ago

American chopper meme, with text from Darcy’s proposal:

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you

If I could feel gratitude, I would now thank you. But I cannot I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly

And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting

Do you think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man who has been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister?

My faults, according to this calculation, are heavy indeed
