I got home for the last part of the All Star weirdness, and it sucked

I have no problem scowling gambling site ads away without a moment’s thought but if a tower defense game ad is on screen I’ll watch it through three or four times — helpless helpless helpless

You love to see it

This is a brilliant idea. Can’t say I know the tractates included (other than Berachot and Rosh Hashanah) well enough to evaluate the illustrations — studying Maasros with all the passing through the market hypotheticals I really wish Maurice Sendak had taken a shot korenpub.com/products/the...

Come to think of it these are qualities I detest in the work of my elders and peers that my peers who are professors have chosen to elevate and syllabize

This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

If you have a book coming out in the next three months (or it came out in the last year) hurry before they give me new responsibilities at work and my busy season takes over the whole calendar — dm for mailing address

Freedom of religion, what a concept

im not weird and off-putting you just dont understand my aura

shouting insults at synagogues is doing Bibi's work for him. If Jews feel unsafe in diaspora they will be MORE Zionist, not less

I’m voting for Person Risk (wins every time)

In the cellar, the girl hums a little tune, and then she runs from the house, finally.

The confluence of the River Guadalaviar (Arabic origin meaning "White River") and the Alfambra River (also Arabic origin, meaning "red earth" due to its clay). Teruel, Aragón Via @pinosysembrados elsewhere.

What everybody dislikes about AI prose is what I dislike in the prose of everybody fifteen+ years younger than me — it’s all smooth connecting statements and recapitulated (false) insights. No spontaneity no life and all the self congratulation in the world

“Literary fiction is review-driven” so yes, that’s that for literary fiction

We need a John Yau bot

I was accused of stinking up New Jersey

Purgatory! Huh

It was so nice to have sunlight all day, and when I went out, to leave my coat open, not out of bravado but to avoid overheating.

Call bullshit once a day (at least)

Well, or, don’t do it for anything besides relief from the unbearable pressure of seeing great work go unnoticed

Have you read The Nimbus yet and if not when will you be getting on that

[trying to remember what not running a thousand miles an hour feels like] what’s for lunch

About five years before I joined the band, i.e. 2001, I spent about three months listening to pretty much nothing but this wonderful album and Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout, and they both remind me very much of getting divorced and 9/11 but that’s ok

“Antisemitism is the socialism of fools.”

It’s funny to disable replies to a post about Blanchot’s Infinite Conversation

Good name for a poetry collection.

Beauty? That’s nice

Everything is cool

Who’s going to see Pylon Reenactment Society in April? Me, I am

Who schedules meetings for 9 am on Friday? Chiefs of staff in areas other than mine, are who

Do you have this book? Have you read it. Well, I do, and I have, and I look forward to reading it again. (Need to find my copies of Riley’s other books.)

Shame, you say.

#Poetry -- Such a pretty book! I know the main style now is a lot more with images and creative type treatments, but this just sings to me. (pic by Pearl Pirie, screengrabbed by me.) A few copies still available signed, or you can get one from asterismbooks.com if you want to gaze at this eye candy.

The Singapore government reaped billions of dollars more in vehicle quota premiums and car taxes than it projected.

I go into a wormhole on October 15 or so and I come out February 14 or so and if I do anything at all not related to work while I’m in the wormhole it’s amazing to me, it makes me believe in quantum physics, how could I have done that while I was in the wormhole

Music criticism is a form of sociology that mainly consists of bullying

Yumbo

so relatable honestly

My “how music criticism lost its edge” essay

[likes a thing] [sees a group of people making fun of the thing] [keeps liking the thing but says mean stuff about the thing in public sometimes] [waits for the group of people to die] Man those people sucked!

Tinkering with my ai prompt: Write a good poem, like the kind I like.

This is true — one of the reasons we got back in gear was to get Kyla’s work into readers’ hands in a staple-free form. (We love staples! But it’s hard to find chapbooks on bookshelves.)

I still have to track down three more Knicks fans at work to relive key moments of last night’s game with. I’ve talked to twelve so far
