“It is my image that I want to multiply, but not out of narcissism or megalomania, as could all too easily be believed: on the contrary, I want to conceal, in the midst of so many illusory ghosts of myself, the true me, who makes them move.“

The BBC tried to do a quick fire round of silly questions with @meredithmeredith.bsky.social and she shut it down and ended with this.

I appreciate Man City fans presenting what the club did as “spending our own money”

I reviewed Chuck Klosterman’s book on American football and couldn’t get past the dishonesty about the nature of the game to even accept his premise of its future www.thenation.com/article/cult...

“Perhaps the most beautiful part of the Karl Marx Hof, or any of the others, is not so much the building—because a building can easily be co-opted for all kinds of purposes, most nefariously, nationalistic ones—it is that working-class people still live there.” defector.com/there-is-onl...

Every now and then I use my dictator powers to make people come to my apt to read something they wrote or something meaningful to then and then I ask them questions about whatever it is, and then we all eat, drink, and talk about literature and art.

Legitimately so funny. It’s practically satire.

How was this a normal reaction to a story about academic plagiarism. Is this how the Spectator covers it?

See? It’s my story. No amount of crediting can change the essential problem. Someone else is telling my story.

Catching up on the writer drama on here, and reading the blogs showing that the accusations were implausible and once again, academics get so touchy when anyone else approaches a subject / story they think belongs to them. Essentially comes down to this anxiety:

“The exhibition demands that the Mets and sports recognize its own family members. That it should be greater than the society that excluded those people. It demands that the statement that the “Mets are in our blood” to be more than cliche and marketing copy…” open.substack.com/pub/somethin...

I could listen to Welles talk about acting and directing all day. Here he talks about the experience of being heckled in his first play in Dublin and how it changed him.

Transit Books sent me a copy of Ángel Bonomini’s ‘Slow Elephants of Milan’ and every page of it is full of gorgeous writing. Please buy it when it comes out. It’s such a delightful collection of stories, very in line with Borges and Calvino, but is its own particular and unique type.

It’s all about Israel but a very funny passage is this one that says “he is proud to be Muslim even though 9/11 happened??”

Also, when people were saying that Trump couldn’t have pressured FIFA before the reports came out, I was surprised people had forgotten or chose to forget that his administration dropped an investigation against FIFA as a favor not too long ago. www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...
