Tea and oranges and a somewhat DeLilloan curiosity: given the rapture, which I assume will be happening on US time, must one still take the kettle back to the stove?

The narrative is elsewhere. Buried as the conspiracy of the real. ⚫️^o^ Ebooks of Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 8 dropped a few days ago. Physical release Oct 16. Preorder here: bloomsbury.com/uk/twin-peaks-… Or even better: Please ask your local indie bookstore to stock Timecodes Series titles.

At night, ink carries fragments of dreams you cannot name, dreams you almost lived, dreams you have yet to dream. At night, a word you read reads you. A line you write writes you. A paragraph hovers, trembles, folds into darkness, and you fold with it.

Once applied to the Nazis, Hannah Arendt’s idea of 'radical evil ' now finds a grim new case study in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, writes Jennifer Loewenstein ⬇️

I would add that for me by far would be The Things We've Seen by Agustín Fernández Mallo. Followed in its own way by The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing by Nicholas Rombes.

TRINITY DAY July 16, 1945 ^o^

Big thanks to Nick Rombes for this generous preview of my upcoming Timecodes book on Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 8 in @filmmakermagazine.com.web.brid.gy.

Mamdani wins the primary with hearty support from the Jewish left, cross-endorses with Brad Lander, wins the Upper West Side, wins Dan Goldman's district, gets Jerry Nadler's endorsement The NYT:

FUCK THESE FUCKS AND THE AMPHETAMINES THEY RODE IN ON.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Wait. What? Capitalism relies on some kind of initial theft of something that's somebody else's? Like some kinda [thinks for a minute] primitive accumulation? Get outta here!

"Archio" by Jeff Wood Video + audio poem A simultaneously wry and profound meditation on the singularity of the universe. Beautiful. mrfox.metalabel.com/archio?vari...

When I was in college, on the minority progressive wing of campus during the '91 Gulf War, any pending anti-war protest was *preempted* by throngs of conservative main campus bros *marching on us* with their USA-first chants. All that was missing were torches. Paul Ryan was eventual class president.

Oddly, I'm not sure there were other possibilities.

The future is already here, but not everyone can afford a return ticket.

The average American has three friends.

Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

I don't know if it's because Sec. Gen. of UN Guterres, is Portuguese (and beloved here) but AT THE VERY LEAST, GAZA is on the evening news on every television EVERY SINGLE DAY here.

Refuse the ongoing genocide of Palestinians that is armed, supported, and protected by the US government. Refuse silence. Refuse a future defined by it. Refuse safety.

Reporting from Iberian blackout.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Finding recapitulation in the American Martial Identity Agenda.

The point being—glitching over and over again—that the oligarchs have contaminated all of SPACE.

YES, GAYLE. YES, I HAVE IN FACT BEEN TO SPACE.

Absolutely fair enough shit-post. But in truth the NRA was never there to rise up against anything. It was there to prevent and ultimately eliminate non-weaponized public space in America in the service of total privatization: total real estate.

Incredible how Elon even managed to make SPACE shitty. Above all else, this guy will go down in history for contaminating the vibes of an entire planet.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

Actual Black Lodge discovered.

Genocide PLUS the largest insider trading scheme in history is pretty precisely what @greatdismal.bsky.social described as the JACKPOT.

From Issue 11 of Socrates. The first line is the lifeblood of most pieces...anywhere. These lines all grabbed me from the first and I knew I had to follow their strangeness and difference. socratesonthebeach.com

The Martial Identity Agenda is absolutely reliant on cosplay. We’re decades deep into this citizen para-militarism as a formal national identity mythos—now realizing as the Martial Identity Agenda.

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

WELLNESS is the symptom of a failed and totally financialized health care system. The TOTAL REAL ESTATE of total financialization is the self-generating vacuum of where a society might have been. The uncanny field. The time of monsters haunting that spectral plain. EXORCISE THESE MUTHERFUCKERS.

The TradeCraft of screwing in millions of tiny little screws…. The closest this jackass has ever gotten to TradeCraft is the trad-craft of a Michelob Ultra. Narrator: …. But they were not coming to America. Other things were coming to America.

Even Hellsite has its moments. 👏🏼 @jonfavs.bsky.social

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the current moment and think "Abolish ICE" was anything but completely correct. ICE cannot and should not exist. Period.

one thing I always wanted for my complicated birth country with a blood-drenched history was for it to also be a bankrupted casino
