What a stunning work this is. (Don’t skip the acknowledgments!) It fascinates me how modern audiences (myself included) consume historical racial trauma when it’s suffused with the supernatural (see Sinners, the works of Tananarive Due) — in ways I hope are deeper than mere entertainment. #booksky

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Am I supposed to be reminded of high fantasy while immersed in hard science fiction? #booksky

We are all Charlie Gordon. Reread something from childhood or adolescence. Like Charlie on his post-surgery Rorschach, you’ll insist that this couldn’t possibly be the same text you encountered before maturity and loss of innocence! At least, that’s how I remember “Flowers for Algernon”…. #booksky

It’s interesting how deep branding gets into your psyche. The other day I wondered why my eight-year-old niece was interested in Pulp Fiction. Turns out there was only a surface similarity of shapes and colors.

Isn’t it time for the parents to show up and spank this brat?

I encountered this bit of chiasmus two times in less than a week: IT’S BETTER TO HAVE IT AND NOT NEED THAN TO NEED IT AND NOT HAVE IT. Rhetorically nifty…but used in reference to a Glock and an OxyContin script. Thoughts?

“the people are closer to animals than anyone I work with.” “Really? “Of course. Otherwise why would I go to work? If someone doesn’t get those bastards out of the slums, who are you university types going to teach? What makes them less human is they don’t fucking meditate.”
