Our final morning in the Gobi.

Stairs to nowhere Sidney, IL

In a conversation between June Jordan and Angela Y. Davis, published in 1990, Jordan said she was concerned about how much despair there is cuz people often take it out on themselves. She said she wanted a return to rage, where it’s taken out on the system.

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

I don’t know, man, I’m just trying to vibe and eat a nutritious variety of vegetables

It's a constant in the Peanuts comic strip that Snoopy's purple prose racks up rejection after rejection, but I feel like a diligent literary agent could sell even a terrible novel written by a dog, if only for novelty's sake. Now, a SECOND book...

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Realized that university students into 70-80s synth music now are the same as uni students in the 1990s being really into swing.

When I was a college dropout I still lived near campus and one day a friend told me to go see a speaker whose work I'd never read and when I got to the smallish lecture hall there was an interlocutor and translator and the guy that's how I got to hear/discover Derrida.

Depressed, but I made a blueberry pie 💙

I have just seen someone post the phrase “forcive habit” so that’s me done for today I think

if you change your pfp and screen name at the same time you die in real life

Doves not beating the "bad at nests" allegations

This made me emotional because so few people give a shit about what happens to regular Iranians in all this, particularly not the people who will directly create new widows, orphans and refugees one second and deny this country has any responsibility for them the next

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

My mom dated this guy who owned a pheasant farm once and I remember him talking to me once while slaughtering them by snapping their necks like (grab, pop) so how are you kid, I heard things are (grab, pop) rough at school right now (grab, pop) is there anything I can do to help

imagining a caveperson getting super annoyed that they can’t make the bison look right. they’re crumpling up the whole cave and throwing it away. makes me feel much better

guy solving a Rubik’s Cube for the first time, looking around excitedly for the sex demons, getting sad when none show up

I maintain that the only reason to ever interview Trump is to ask him basic questions about how the world and government function. How does a bill become a law? How is it that tariffs costs are not passed onto customers? When will we normalize relations with Wakanda?

Need a haircut again and I hope she’s there. I gotta learn more about being one of the chosen… Anyone got shrooms?

Just came under a MASSIVE PSYCHIC ASSAULT at the grocery store

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

on top of everything else I have to hear about Max Landis again

Hear me out: Thick Mints

Columbo, a bust of Alfred Hitchcock, and a Joust arcade game.

TIL Winnie the Pooh is named after a bear that once lived in Winnipeg. Hence the name "Winnie" 🤯 #CanadianTrivia

if you wanna wish me a belated happy birthday and/or console me for being so old, please do feel free (and even encouraged!) to buy yourself a copy of TACOMA, or to read a little of it if you already have it, and/or rate it on goodreads, and/or just tell me how great it is and I am

"CEASE IMMEDIATELY WITH SIX MONTH PHASE OUT"

Friday mood

“I know you miss the Wainwrights, Bobby, but they were weak and stupid people—and that’s why we have wolves and other large predators.”

I just read through a list of The 100 Best New Orleans novels and it did not include The Snare by Elizabeth Spencer so something must be broken in the nature of man. Either that or it falls completely to shit in the next 100 pages.

Umm, near 20% of the world's most populous country go on strike and barely a word about it in the press?

Happy Birthday to the late, great Tex Avery, born Frederick Bean Avery 118 years ago today

backspace keys have seen some shit

Dunkin Donuts: Sorry, we’re out of chocolate glazed. Me: [about to lose it] No Mark, save this feeling. Use it for your art.

Rep. Garcia: “This committee has now set a new precedent about talking to presidents and former presidents, and we’re demanding immediately that we ask President Trump to testify…He is the person who appears almost more than anyone else [in the files].”

Oh. The Folk Implosion's "Natural One" just came on the radio. Apologies, but my brain is gonna be stuck on this for the next week at least.
