I don't know which one of you underlined a half-dozen essays in this book I found at Myopic today, but THANKS. You probably saved me $20.

It should be neither surprising nor rare, but I am always unreasonably pleased when a favorite writer is a fan of another favorite writer.

Fuck these people.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Best American seems like a silly attempt to govern that which is utterly ungovernable: our collective creative impulse. That most of it was wrung from the same 3 MFA programs and approved by tweedy little chin-strokers makes it more irrelevant.

The lesson of cases like this is that under our system convictions are more of a sacrament than a matter of reason. Lies, junk science, garbage witnesses — none of that matters. You have to finish the sacral process, and denying it is like denying Christ.

Googling "Sgt. Slaughter Alive?" real quick

Not only does Barker "get it", he made legit literature out of the pulp-horror short story that does not condescendingly "transcend" the genre gore, but positively reveles in it. "In the Hills the Cities" belongs in a Norton Anthology between Shirley Jackson and Raymond Carver.

“They’re all weird creeps with broken dicks” should be every Dem’s campaign message

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

Its Opening Day. Time to whisper the names of early 00's Cubs at your wife like The Voice of the Corn in Field of Dreams.

Today is baseball opening day and a bittersweet one as it is our first without my friend Steve Albini, who loved baseball so much that he spent a good chunk of his life telling everyone how superior it was to other sports. Mainly because it didn’t have a clock. Because he was a true weirdo. (1/x)

This thing should be thrown into a volcano, along with the fucking nerds who built it.

Step up, stand up, speak out.   This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid. Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

as far as i'm concerned the entire purpose of the american experiment is to provide chuck schumer with a job that's not too challenging, yet rewarding and fun. and i hate to put it to you like this, but every criticism you post, and every phone call you make to his office, gets in the way of that

I miss Steve Albini so much.

It Shot Inky In My Stinky (1954)

When human incarceration is captured by the profit motive, then human imprisonment becomes a growth industry, and criminalization of things previously legal become the new products. Human enslavement is the natural endpoint of the predatory billionaire scam known as capitalism.
