Mostly my opinions. Sometimes my Simpsons autism comes in handy and I can scrap up some likes by posting Troy McClure or something. letterboxd.com/fintastique

Discworld QOTD, from Mort
The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

Starting to suspect my street is the US capital of mid-rise single-stair buildings. I didn’t pick it for that, I picked it because it was affordable! Turns out affordability just requires mid-rise single-stair.

I'm American, but I talked to some Germans on a train platform in Chicago last weekend. They spoke very highly about their experience of buying legal weed, getting stoned and eating at Raising Canes.

I've got it. Let's allow the teens to use social media, but only use their wrong hand index finger for typing like Gen Xers. It's the fast two thumbs thing that makes it so easy for them to be nasty to each other.

New issue of Popeye, a Japanese menswear mag, looks great. It's a rare all-English edition and looks at how people from 18 different countries dress. Very aligned with my view of style: diversity and differences are good, and dress is a form of social language. Avail at Kinokuniya.

This Day in Labor History: May 23, 1861. Three slaves named Shepard Mallory, James Baker, and Frank Townsend fled to Fort Monroe, Virginia, to escape their master. Benjamin Butler, the politician turned Union officer, refused to return them. Let's talk the slave self-emancipation of the Civil War!

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

ever feel like you're in a constant battle with a reactionary movement of protestant farmers who have misinterpreted both the Bible and Nietzsche and turned that into a crusade against empathy and reject the idea that the universe still exists after their deaths

I do think that “what is college actually for, as it currently exists” and “how and why has that changed over time” and “what SHOULD college be for, ideally” are all fascinating questions and it’s too bad that they are totally impossible to contemplate without being stricken with The Madness

Unfortunately as the the bad faith accusations against stancil show, the internet has settled into a bad equilibrium where anyone with a large platform or presence basically has to adopt a stance of “no it isn’t, fuck off and go away” towards accusations of bigotry from people they don’t know.

Not yelling at Dave here, but the fundamental issue is that the bedrock assumption of our country's politics is that conservatives losing faith in the system is seen as an indictment of the system, and liberals losing faith in the system is seen as an indictment of liberals.
