I used to joke about Sean Hannity fucking a wet shoe full of dying eels. Turns out I just had the wrong guy.

Why is the lead example always some variation on “make a reservation”? I get that it’s universal, but the takeaway is these things can’t be trusted with anything less on rails than a 200 ton locomotive. Doesn’t help my life.

I genuinely hate people who say “you’re stronger than you think you are.” It reinforces the framing that there is NOTHING worse than being weak.

You can sort of understand why powerful people are all nuts. To have trillions and weapons and land and still know that it’s all hopeless and no one is coming to save us must do your head in. Or am I extrapolating irresponsibly?

Literally had never heard of Sebastian Maniscalco before today. I guess he’s one of those guys who does comedy in arenas and such like? That’s probably why.

You can tell the dudebros who talk about kali yuga and the BG don’t go too much deeper than that into The Mahabharata. If they did, it would be too hard to ignore that Trump is one hundo Duryodhana.

Man, Oh What a Lovely War does a great job of making the Christmas Truce devastating by showing it as the awkward milling around it probably was. And also by including the fact that disciplinary action followed.

If Vance doesn’t shave in the next six months it’s proof he’s not planning a real run in 28. He will shave if he wants to win because it’s an article of faith that we don’t elect beardo Presidents in contemporary America, and he’s a conformist.

“We don’t have a shared culture anymore.” Good. Human identities aren’t all one thing, why should cultural ones be different?

If this is true, there is zero chance it won’t be used for evil somehow. Every VC who sees this is immediately thinking “What can we use that mechanism to talk people into for profit?” Stay on guard.

Speaking of Janes: finally saw Camp Miasma, and what a film. And how brilliant to cast Gillian Anderson as a guide (?maybe? i’m still thinking about it) to desire, someone who everybody in my generation wanted to be, wanted to be with, or both, sometimes in a REALLY confusing way, huh…

I’m not saying Jane Child didn’t get her shot (two solid hits that hold UP ain’t nothing). But if she released “You’re My Religion” today it would be massive. Her whole first album is pretty great, especially for someone who gets relegated to the footnotes too often.

TESCREAL is going mainstream. There’s a slim tiny chance those ideas percolate out and the movement actual becomes a human thing instead of the weird culty business it tends to be now.

If you’re using Libby as a preference (not for accessibility reasons) that’s fine, but know that almost every ebook check out costs your library money, while print copies are a one time expense (and can be sold when weeding time comes around). At least chuck your local a few bucks if you can.
