JAMES JOYCE: Yes I said yes I will yes COPY EDITOR: Hi, Mr. Joyce. My name is Amy and I work on the production team. I was wondering if we could schedule a Zoom call for next week to discuss a few things that have popped up during the editing process. (Absolutely LOVING the book, btw!)

Underrated masterpiece. The steel guitar is what takes from the beautiful to the sublime.

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

"Perhaps there has never been a group of people treated so badly in our Nation's history." Just sit with that one for a moment.

It was indeed a great evening. Today's independent political media definitely has its work cut out for it, but as long as these two are in the vanguard, it's in good shape. (Also: That's my left arm!)

Someday, hopefully not too far into the future, pop music historians will write articles about how amazing and influential Cowboy Junkies were and how they were sorely underappreciated during their time. Comparisons to other underappreciated bands like Love and Felt will be made (and deservedly so).

My wife and drove across the country numerous times with me driving and her navigating from the passenger seat with a giant Rand-McNally road atlas. We used it until the pages were literally falling out of the spiral. I saw one in a bookstore not long ago and got misty-eyed. Paper maps are magic.

Jean-Antoine Watteau's "Gilles" (which I guess is also known as "Pierrot"? I didn't know it had two names) I've always thought that the expression on the subject's face was wordlessly telling the (somewhat sad) story of his entire life up to that point.

No shade on the actual USMNT and hardworking athletes, but I love the extra goal at the end. A big f*ck you to Trump for so many attacks on Europe. For NATO. For Greenland. And a demonstration for the benefit of people who haven’t yet figured out what a source of misery Trump is.

This is their new strategy. They know the news media isn't going to call them liars to their face so they keep daring them to. When they don't, they win the clip which is all their base is ever going to see; filtered through the Fox/State News (same thing) filter.

Still remember the day I was stopped in my tracks at a CVS in Silver Lake by the Style Council's "My Ever Changing Moods" wafting through the store over the sound system. This was pre-algorithm -- a real human being, somewhere, made this considered and oh-so-right decision.

Reasonable to think that vampires would also care about hyperlocal issues, esp. things like light pollution, curfew enforcement, preventing mosquito-borne illness, etc.

Interesting word choice. When I think of countries where the elections are/were marked by "certainty," I immediately think of places like Russia, China, and Ba'athist Iraq.

Can't believe I'm saying this ... but ... is it possible that Shemp had rugged good looks? He looks here like he could be playing the sheriff (or the charismatic heavy) in a 1950s western. That piercing stare! Those creases! (Yes, I've had a few glasses of wine.)

Remember this when certain state funerals are planned in the future and people get their knickers tied in a bunch because people aren’t sufficiently grieving, and call for them to lose jobs and such.

The only thing I don't like about this essay is that it isn't longer. Fantastically trenchant insights about what is (yes, I'll say it: Sorry, "Aja") SD's greatest musical and lyrical achievement. Well done. Now do Katy Lied!
