Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Friends...do you have an eel by the tail? I hope not! That's an axiom for taking a doomed approach to something. In 1729, Alexander Pope used the phrase to scoff at folks who believe they can understand a book by reading its index, saying that the practice "holds the eel of science by the tail." 🗃️🧪
Meme. Painting of Alexander Pope, staring off to his right. He is wearing a blue robe, with a white, tight-necked shirt below it, and a teal wrap of some sort on his head. His forehead is tremendously high, and his hair is all under his amazing hat. His eyebrows are arches like delicate bridges, and his mouth does not betray any sense of humor. He looks somewhat startled, like someone asked him if he was at the Insane Clown Posse concert over the weekend. He was not, of course.

Or was he?

The light glistens off of his cheeks and forehead on his left side, but the right side of his face has, like Gandalf, fallen into shadow. Unlike Gandalf, he is painted against a yellowish-brown background which is lighter just behind his head that makes him look a bit like he has a halo of very weak coffee. *

Meme text reads:
"I've indexed you under "I"
for:
'I'd like to
report a murder'"

* I say this, but we don't know if Gandalf ever sat for a formal portrait, or went to a Sears Photo Studio.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Okay so "Did Jesus see an Armadillo?" So the first question is... Are we talking about Jesus during his time on earth, and not getting into Trinitarian stuff? And the answer to this is "yes" because otherwise the answer is "Yeah. He's God. He invented the armadillo." And that's a boring answer.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."
Follow up tumblr post

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.
