The most beautiful game yes it’s like looking at a painting

Time for another exciting half of scoreless sport

I don't condone Muppet violence, but as a stunt, Gonzo should let Messi kick him and see how far he goes.

Meanwhile, check out this very fine beetle sleeping on my dill this morning.

Psst - @luaz.bsky.social’s new book is out today a.co/d/0iFxptgK

Aw man, if this turns out to be a (weak) rewriting of Frye I’m going to be pissed

So, tomorrow! MAPLESS will finally be out in the world, in the wild of readers who, I hope, will love it and share it. That's YOU, I hope! Friday, tomorrow, July 17. Wheeeeee! 🎉

It’s been a few days since I remembered Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining in Game 4 of the NBA Finals

I’ve been kicking the can down the road on a task for work for six weeks and I’m doing the task now and it is exactly as tedious as I expected

Muting “we need”

I enjoyed the Kenneth Koch Book Club we ran for several months in honor of KK’s centenary. I keep thinking it would be fun to do something like that again. It’s nice having options on all my Sundays, though, and as for holding events during the week? Unwise

Counting down to Release Day: Two more days until! Friday July 17th is the big number!!!! 🔥‼️🎶👀🎉🔥

While the typical country blues say "Look what we've all been through," by sharing experiences with the audience, the classic blues more commonly say, "This is the kind of scene we go through all of the time." - Roger D. Abrahams

It’s the nine days

The most Jewish thing is to tell other Jews they’re doing it wrong. The second most Jewish thing is to be wary of people who aren’t Jewish saying Jews are doing it wrong. The third most Jewish thing is the nine days.

“I’m reading Jameson—“ “Stop, that’s not possible”

More like the newspaper than the cops about this, I hope

Wouldn’t say I’m innumerate, I just tend to discount everyone’s unaudited estimates

Take away all the free time and the opportunities to experience boredom and then say omg nobody’s reading. Classic

Two things today: 1) town pool lunch area mahjong 2) Jay-Z dvar Torah

Five more days!

Anne Hathaway plays Penelope? That’s the funniest casting in the thing

Totally different thing but I’m getting wrong number emails from Midwest Legacy Beef

Somewhat unnerving wrong number email

Ongoing notes: the ottawa small press book fair (part two, : Jordan Davis + Ethan Rein Vilu, / @sider0xylon.bsky.social @jordandavis.bsky.social ; robmclennan.blogspot.com/2026/07/ongo...

These are available from @benwrex.bsky.social, funding the Prairieland defense. Get you some!

Solidarity sticker in the mail today from @luaz.bsky.social

Ok well, time to lock myself out again, bye

How do you do my fellow kids

Lovely to stumble into a discussion of this. It's a slogan & as such, it has a life well beyond what I personally had in mind when I coined it. But, if you want to trace that origin, there are 4 documents. 1.) this podcast with @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social, starting around the 65th minute...

Three more things to finish before I call it a day today and truth be told only one of those really has to happen today

I also had this deck. This and mix and match books and phonics are responsible for my being a poet, I had nothing to do with it

Might need to snack on another slice of sourdough with chimichurri dip

Two open containers of chimichurri dip in the house, what a time to be alive

Social media for Ohioans

Dead mall app

i'm on de fense about that

I’m hearing that the best defense is a good offense. Big if true

I received the @jordandavis.bsky.social book SORRY, GOD from @sider0xylon.bsky.social today. Absolutely what I needed.

This site is dumb and proud of it

Original poster knows exactly why the framers of Social Security didn’t do that (having to pay out proportionally to the CEOs / the improbability of the program surviving the lobbying onslaught no cap OASDI would have faced)

“Frank O’Hara wrote that he preferred the movies, and Eileen Myles quotes Joe Brainard on his deathbed: ‘Well, one good thing about dying, you don’t have to go to any more poetry readings.’” —Joe Dunthorne on the New York School poets

kleptocratic pornographic racist nihilism, you can ban it "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Opened this app just now and saw a draft post the gist of which I recorded in a notebook this morning. I felt relieved of the burden to publish the draft and leave you this admonition instead: never post

Who he who he me

The episode of Homicide: Life on the Street guest starring Marcia Gay Harden and Gary Basaraba knocked me down

Two transcription errors from city hall yesterday: “Eunuchs fans” and “Nixon Nixon Nixon”
