It’s a good day to read

Goodnight lovelies

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

I never want to ‘discover a brand’. Please keep all brands away from me

It’s all happening on x dot com where I do my banking

Need to give Always Coming Home another shot, and regrettably learned about this wonderful edition www.loa.org/books/596-al...

Reading Gravity's Rainbow is a trip because sometimes it's philosophizing and then immediately jumps to "two british women torture a man by feeding him increasingly disgusting british sweets" and then there are tangents that feel like they could've come from Naked Lunch

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

“The struggle against the forces of repression in One Battle After Another is quite probably lost, but it is not over.” This is so good.

Franz Kafka writing Steam reviews

Completely agree with this - there is a lot of terrible policymaking where you can see the direct echo of “this guy played a lot of Civ as a child and teen”.

Not my best work, overestimated how much sauce I had left so really undersauced it. Strangely, every time I’ve moved closer to the recipe on the packaging it emerges slightly odd

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

Lasagna big leagues

It’s really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it’s clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it’s all “please don’t forget you have to feed your troops” and “if someone asks if you’re going to attack them consider lying about it”

Watching Spookies to escape for the torrent of toilet horny HOMM posting

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

goodnight I'm a fool but you have forgiven me before the fact

Grand executed by the media analysis police by seeing the myth of sisyphus under every single god damn rock

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

It’s pretty bleak that The Wire, looking back, is a romanticized picture of American policing

Howdy people, anything going on this weekend?

the joy of tik tok

All dvds should have menus like this

Maybe reading Gravity’s Rainbow this early into my Bradbury reading challenge was a bad idea

"Since he passed away I've had to become all but an outright witch, in pure self-defense." What do you mean by this

Turns out opengl is much happier when you don’t tell it to finish all its homework before you send out each of your double buffered frames

My latest essay is on @olddog.games's "Deathmatch Island!" I talk about how the game designs its climax around the Prisoner's Dilemma, and how, despite the fact that the game wants you to break that cycle, that initial tension is the best part of the text.

It's kind of funny just how wildly the Nobel prizes vary in prestige. Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine are all highly regarded, and then there's the Peace and Economic Sciences that nobody likes.

Mission to stay off here failed

More authors need to not be cowards, and follow Pynchon in giving everyone silly as hell names, no matter how grim the situation

I actually did vote for everything to get more expensive, dangerous, and stupid, and I feel extremely represented right now

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

Gonna try to take a break from here, think it's not helping at the moment. If you need me, I'm easy to find. Same display name everywhere

Reading Gravity's Rainbow means you have to be at full attention at all times, like when reading a Cortazar story.

Wow! László Krasznahorkai won the Nobel Prize in literature

Who let it be in the low 40s

Night. Hope I’m not irritable tomorrow

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

New video. Not a reaction video, I see it more as an academic response paper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wmo...

Read some Gravity's Rainbow and it's quite a lot
