This is absolutely the best way I’ve ever heard North American deer described, hands down.

Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot. n.pr/3JKj19D

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

For a project in progress I’ve had to return to some older writing and this line really hits years later “Apocalypse is a failure of the imagination, a giving up on the future instead of a commitment to the difficult work of composing a better present.”

A picture is still worth a thousand words, but due to AI slop, those words are all melting, illegible gibberish.

this release’s liner notes were how I learned Peter Buck is a great writer and funny as hell

none of this is early modern but it’s still very funny

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone
