Re-listening to @greatdismal.bsky.social's 'Spook Country.' This line nearly made me sit up in bed. "The old man was as American as it got, but in what she thought of as some very recently archaic way. Someone who would’ve been in charge of something, in America, when grown-ups still ran things."

As a kid, when Puff the Magic Dragon mentioned that Jackie brought “sealing wax,” I assumed it was “ceiling wax”—some essential home-maintenance product you were supposed to apply to the ceiling periodically, like changing furnace filters. I was quietly concerned that my parents were neglecting it.

Should I be concerned that Spotify just generated a playlist called "Sad Mix" for me? Is this an algorithmic cry for help? Should I be worried?

Go ahead. Go ahead and try to find a purchasable copy of the supposed audiobook recording of Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco as read by Tim Curry. You won't find it. You didn't find it, did you? Did it ever really exist? I sense a conspiracy.

I was today years old when I was informed that the "Uhluhtc" they are attempting to raise in the Den sequence of 1981's 'Heavy Metal' is, in fact, Cthulhu spelled backwards. There is no excuse for this oversight on my part. My apologies.

Two Thursdays ago, when i was teaching Alice Wong's "Disabled Oracle Society," i taught this new crop of student about the myth of Cassandra, and how Apollo's curse wasn't just that no one listened to her, but that the more she tried to make people listen, the more hostile they got. So.
