Behind because this ereader and a certain Archive has me chugging thru. The next two: another Mills, this time about European adventurism in the height of Industrial Rationalism. Beasts was more fun but liked this. Then Rent Boy, very cool gay thriller where some rent boys get into organ harvesting.

In my local community, I am known as vigorously championing two artistic projects: Infinite Jest and Tubi, the true home of transgressive cinema in the 21st century

I sat in those seats for a pistons game and they are maybe the most uncomfortable and tight setup I’ve ever been in for professional sports.

Yea the work making MacOS more Linux like has made the use case much smaller it feels. A lot of the old timers still don’t realize how different it works now with things like brew and that’s really my only knowledge of the rationale for hating Mac’s UNIX flavor

I should have said maybe the distros I like aren’t but yea like you’re saying, there’s not the greatest need in the world for it

Also a bummer there’s not much movement on getting Linux builds for the M series chips

Haven’t read this since I was 17, was actually not embarrassingly bad like some other stuff I liked. Good timing as well, I just took a lil class on Adorno that fit nicely with the themes here. Actually very similar to Jest, TV==heroin. Prose is a lot of “fun” to read, coming back when I get will to

I accidentally walked into the tailgating situation when they were at Duke a few years ago and I felt like I was having a nightmare where River North had sprung into the middle of Durham somehow

Wanted to read this since I’ll get comps to his drug writing in workshops, and this was on DFWs favorites list. Firstly, I do not think I really sound like Denis, we just share subjects. Second, this was clearly an influence to DFW, and the dialogue was great. Def adding him to my list for later.

I just pulled an ingrown hair out of my face that had to have been an inch and a half. My cheek deflated after finally grabbing it out.

It’s crazy to go on instagram and see in almost any thread, a statement that would’ve been 3 days of main character roasting on the old twitter.

First book ever read on an ereader. Really weird and funny, basically just digging holes and going to the pub over and over and over. Like a desert island story crossed with Chicken Run. Will be checking out his other stuff.

Maybe too niche of a post but which is worse bookstagram content: soft boy posting the NYRB version of Stoner in hand and saying he can finally see in color now, or the unlit cigarette in mouth people pretending Bret Easton Ellis is good

To some people, books are somehow exempt from the same mechanism that slopifies every other cultural product. If I had to guess, it’s because they still associate it with being rewarded with pizza for it.

What is it about reading that makes it value positive to certain people. Like would they applaud me for sitting and reading the Owners Manual to my car?
