With a heavy heart, I return Whalefall by Daniel Kraus to the library. I’ll never stop thinking about it. Haven’t had a new favorite book since Artemis Fowl back in middle school. Haven’t read a book twice in a row since Malice in high school. This is my Torah. I will never read a better book.

"Angel Down" is a book where the whole book is a single sentence about a soldier in WWII who is sent in to find a screaming fallen soldier, to put him out of his misery, but he instead finds a fallen angel. I couldn't grok pulling off a whole novel in a single sentence but Daniel Kraus does it.

BILL BURR: “There’s nothing wrong with being a billionaire, but if someone’s working 40 hours/week and can’t make rent you’re not paying them enough… maybe you should just be worth $900 Million. How do you take an 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

At the moment, I’m regrettably not having champagne and croissants in a quaint château in the French countryside during a thunderstorm, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well.”

Last night of Paul Simon’s sold-out run at LA’s Disney Center. Completely persuasive rendition of hits- and 7 Psalms-in the voice of a man in his 80s. Rich, stirring, and contemplative in a way it wouldn’t have been 20 years ago.

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

Newsom: I’ll give you a specific example: just this morning, in anticipation of meeting with Chinese counterparts in Geneva, he decided to negotiate against himself—the great negotiator—from 145% tariffs imposed on China, now he says, “Well, maybe it should be 80%.”

i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).
