I think "reading a book is performative" is the end point of American anti-intellectualism. The mere act of reading is now suspicious to swaths of slug people.

I was working in Denver bookstore when LD was published. The book flew out of the store, many to customers who were not regular customers. Curious, I read the book and my immediate conclusion was that no one was reading this book…

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Okay I guess I’m just a Big Sleep poster now (though next week I’ll be moving on to Double Indemnity) but my class is having its final discussion about the book tomorrow & man the second to last paragraph is just so fucking fantastic. Pardon my almost-correct Hamlet annotations.

Outside the bright gardens had a haunted look, as though small wild eyes were watching me from behind the bushes, as though the sunshine itself had a mysterious something in its light. I got into my car and drove off down the hill.

What did it matter where you lay once you were dead?
In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you greet were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were
the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big
sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell Me, I was part of the nastiness now. Far more a part of it than Rusty Regan was. But the old man didn't have to be. He could lie quiet in his canopied bed
with his bloodless hands folded on the sheet, waiting.

Ray Charles performing live in São Paulo for a Brazilian television special, the day before his 33rd birthday in 1963. Released on DVD in 2004 as “Ô-Genio,” meaning “The Genius” in Portuguese, the special saw Charles backed by The Raelettes and a fifteen-piece band.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

the aesthetic triumph of The Sopranos is that from within the period (and not a decade or two hence as is typical) it saw and reflected PRECISELY how tacky everything about everything was. they were gross people! and so was basically every other part of The Last American Monoculture!!

Idk, but I don’t think a mass casualty event that les to a new age of racism and xenophobia as well as security theater and mass surveillance in the name of safety is really necessary for a “shared bond” among Americans.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
