This was an amazing show last night in Brussels: BEAT, ‘80s-era King Crimson played by Adrian Belew and Tony Levin (who were in that ‘80s lineup) and Steve Vai and Danny Carey (who were not) Great material and unparalleled musicianship, but… 1/…

Guys, the EU is still deciding on a definition of "farmer", but don't worry, the "working party on agricultural horizontal questions" has it on the agenda #ImGonnaNeedMoreCoffee

It's hard to believe this was 10 years ago Preparations are under way outside my office on Rue de la Loi to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Brussels attacks on 22 March 2016 Back on that day I was an editor at Politico and was extremely lucky to not have been a victim of the bombings...

This piece from @motherslug.bsky.social on Thomas Pynchon and our current predicament is superb I re-read VINELAND ahead of the release of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and it not only held up, it resonated more with me than when I first encountered it in the '90s www.currentaffairs.org/news/thomas-...

Thomas Pynchon Saw American Fascism Coming

The elusive author of paranoid, absurdist novels looks more and more prescient these days.
