RIP to a real one. Losing Berry and Dillard in the span of a couple weeks hurts.

In honor of the re-release, it’s worth emphasizing that what made Black Flag such a fan favorite and unique for its time was its insistence on sea travel (few “fast travel” options) through the map and the robust world-building that accompanied it, including an amazing collection of sea shanties.

Adams was the political equivalent of Rodney Dangerfield and he largely brought it on himself, despite the incredible amount of work and demonstrable good he did

Extremely cool ballpark you got there, Toronto. And a perfect day for it on Monday. Owen told me to take a mean picture to let the “Booo Jays” fans know we meant business.

It’s wild how understatedly brilliant this book is. And I feel like that mirrors the author — I got my MA at the university where he taught for decades and there was practically zero mention of him anywhere around campus, but EVERYONE knew Condoleezza Rice went there…

We just need AI to destroy itself and to insert anarchist malware into an authoritarian president’s digitally preserved consciousness to bring down both global neoliberal capitalism and autocracy.

Day trip with the kids to see the site of John Brown’s childhood homestead in Hudson where he grew up (1805-1826) and then down to Akron to visit the John Brown House, where he lived with his family from 1844-1854 until Kansas beckoned…

Look at me, folks, over here taking a break from the quest to find novel gustatory experience that has come to substitute for culture among much of the American professional class. Please clap.

If you can get your hands on this I highly recommend it. The citrus and black tea make for a phenomenal pairing in the absence of hops. It’s a perfect summer gruit: light, refreshing, and zesty.

Over a hundred pages into the re-read before my summer session course starts in a couple weeks and I’m once again reminded why, even nearly 40 years later, McPherson remains the gold standard.

My Grandpa Simpson take on concerts: Having to constantly deal with crowd surfers during a Tool set is the closest I’ve come to empathizing with the Spanish Inquisition. Get that heresy outta here man, I’m trying to absorb the inter-dimensional vibrations…

Happy to report I am getting after it with vigor. Still plenty to add before Sonic Temple in three weeks. Necrot show in 10 days, Gatecreeper and Dying Remains the week after that.

Perfect night for it in Columbus. Clippers tied it at 3 on the long ball in the 6th and then clobbered another in the 8th to take a two-run lead they’d keep. 5-2 final over the Iowa Cubs.
