I think they should put Bond’s mind in a new body, perhaps one that looks a little more like mine. I think I could play him as long as I didn’t have to do my own stunts

old hat no cap

actually demonic.

Coming to London for a few weeks starting today =)

despicable racist fantasy on display here but also this is a perma-steroidal attention-seeking washed up former athlete, who also sought to distinguish himself by creating racial outrage during his career, ultimately because the ball-playing didn't speak for itself en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ro...

While I wasn’t cynical I do think that I could have dared to hope and to share that hope much more than I did. Instead I dwelt more on the absurd depravity of the other side, and fair enough: what I said about that was true. But what’s much more interesting is what we can do. More than I thought!

I voted for Sliwa, because I feel that the Left is best at its purest, away from the power which corrupts: when it understands itself as an instrument of philosophically inflected social critique, as a venue for historical nostalgia, and as a rhetorically maximal denunciation of the way of the world

good news to wake up to

Bad Gays episode on Little Richard, thank you @benwritesthings.bsky.social

A total and utter hero

something I never understood about Dick Cheney was that he made such a clear and actually prescient case against the total invasion of Iraq in the 90s, then later did it anyway, and all of the negative consequences he predicted did come to pass. what changed? www.youtube.com/watch?v=w75c...

Rooting for my former city today

jazz practice session, diminished symmetry

I do find it interesting that we're constantly asked to entertain speculation that a dime of increase in social spending might spook business and the wealthy, while unbelievably disruptive interventions like this are never brought into the conversation.

My hand is healing. Love to new friends and old.

will be in London for a lot of November, with one event at LRB bookshop on Nov 12 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/jackie-ess...

I'm sorry to anyone that was planning on coming to see me DJ at Berghain this weekend, they asked what I was going to play and I said I Need a Freak. The song by the Egyptian Lover, not in real life. I like the "error" aggressive bass tone. "Too old school." Gig cancelled youtu.be/FPfIUZrLrX4?...

Next time someone tells you what AI will be able to do tomorrow think about all of those years and all that science and still no one has invented cigarettes that are good for you. No such thing as momentum here. You solve problems or don’t

One thing about Kyla is that there's only one Kyla. She's not polishing the same gems everybody else is polishing. Another thing about Kyla is that reading her poems improves your own poetry. "Oh, that's how to be yourself!" Another thing about Kyla is she has a book for sale!

I would like to see a comparison between Tolkien and Wagner as modern myth-makers, both drawing on the Arthurian and Norse traditions and as well as the Gothic. Both successful and artistically accomplished in the execution. But why do we want that? Why can no one seem to do it again?

near where I grew up there was a famous slumlord who actually did subdivide single family homes into as many as a dozen cells, one hesitates to call them rooms, and would sometimes burn them down for insurance. this was indeed a blight. but it had nothing to do with colour or language or migration

Cuomosexuals, we've got a big chance to deliver this thing for Andy next Thursday, so let's TURN OUR PHONES OFF and focus until then on visualizing "Mamdani" in various cartoon-like predicaments. The power is in our minds #cuomoscreenfreechallenge #andystyle

Seems every writer eventually has to say so but I am not writing about any real person, including myself, in my stories, but am operating in a medium called “fiction.” Still less am I processing grudges.

Memory repair: Seattle in the long nineties.

Personally I’d have preferred a large wave and wind pool for indoor competitive sailing, they could call it SkySea or something

experimenting with two and three finger basslines and movable shapes due to left hand injury. photo taken december 2022.

cut my finger horribly so it's this kind of music for a while

imagine two hundred bucks and this...

Just understood something and then another something and then another. Can’t say anything about it. But it’s so clear. That’s what it is. Man…

I miss real music youtu.be/4gAsPT-vgeM?...

it would be nice to feel that on the one hand that my actions can make a difference, but on the other that when this difference is negative or unintended I am in no way bound to repair or inhabit or be shaped by the result, that in this case there was no difference at all =)

Breaking: Maine Democrats endorse Westside Gunn in contentious Senate race. Party Chair: "Bars undeniable," adding, "he's 90s, he's grimy, he's stylish. People like that brick talk. They like the onomatopoeias. He lets you know what sound the gun makes. I don't see what could go wrong."

I miss when films could be political. You couldn't make Vin Diesel's Xxx (2002) today. This is the opening scene. Yet the film, which seems initially to celebrate infantile rebellion and the anti-social individual, comes to critique that position in the form of "anarchy 99" youtu.be/NcG-rjoYiMo?...

as someone who is also 40 I have to say, fair enough. we didn't know about "world war two." no one said. everybody loves the nineties for the music, but there were things we didn't know how to talk about back then, and we should have talked about it. not better or worse, just different,,

To me, the Hitler stuff smacks of antisemitism.

I wonder how many people out there have ever said something like “it’s precisely because this matters so much that I should stand aside, rather than let my errors, entanglements, and personal problems jeopardize the cause when they inevitably come up.” Apparently zero.

I'm sorry to anyone that was planning on coming to see me DJ at Berghain this weekend. They asked what I was going to play and I asked if they had ever heard of the Ohio Players. "The Funky Worm guys? 'Rollercoaster?'” "The 'Honey' guys."
 Apparently they want more than one song. Gig cancelled.

I'm rooting for the frogs

I'm sorry to anyone that was planning on coming to see me DJ at Berghain this weekend, they asked what I was going to play and I said Mundian To Bach Ke. They asked what else and I had to admit I hadn't been thinking about it. Could play it twice? Gig cancelled

he's going to win

I met my partner in person, through friends. I did try apps a few times but found my height a pretty serious limiter (I’m 6’1). I’m trying to get taller all the time but I think the pills don’t work.

Let me address myself to young people for a moment: this man is goated. And he’s based as well.

if this truly means that the Green party is actually standing up to naive standpoint epistemology I am all in (single issue voter)

If you’re just finding me now after coming over from twitter, I use this account mostly to post about how wokeness is destroying bitcoin, how to make ai more “based,” and about the plight of the white farmer, as well as issues related to pasteurization, standup comedy, and iq. Ignore the music

Three ideas.
