Ford Madox Ford has to be one of the all time Cool Names

Love how in the 90s bands would go visit William S Burroughs in Kansas: the members of Sonic Youth sitting around wanting him to impart some Beat Wisdom and Burroughs just being like "look at this bayonet I got at the Army surplus"

This guy used to just go around looking like that and nobody said anything

Francis Bacon, Two Figures in a Room Me, Jerome From Work, Taken With Fucked-Up Flip Phone

Saw a friend's band do a really killer cover of "Candy Says" last night, a song I hadn't heard in ages, and had forgotten how devastating it is. Very grateful to have been reminded.

This is literally the least important thing in the world but calling them "pedos" is a disgustingly twee Britishism that must be stopped

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"--bible verse printed on a fruit pie I bought earlier

Saw that Cat Power liked one of those "McDonald's sells human meat" IG videos, and that totally tracks.

Somebody *really* hated that SNL performance

The radio ad for a new movie said "Jason Statham is Michael Mason," which sounds like some new schoolyard tongue twister

Five jobs I've had: -Fast food -Sleep lab -Forklift -Accounting PA -Survey taker for food & drug administration

The couple were found along with the world's oldest carton of American Spirits

Speaking of Philip Glass Oh, the nation of the blind, the nation of the blind Oh, Oh nation of the blind Deprive the sun light Weep for you, for your offense Miserable humanity. I grieve for you I grieve for you youtu.be/HW9vk__zw0Y?...

Sal Buscema was a real one. His and JM DeMatteis's 90s Spider Man run was quietly the best of that decade. Totally underrated comic artist.

"he walks over a shattering carpet made of petrified rain"

Going outside in the ice feels like you're walking on a giant crème brûlée

Walked a half-mile in the snow to the Circle K for a bag of Chester's Hot Fries and a Dr Pepper, much like the hunter-gatherers of old.

If you read the Silmarillion you learn Galadriel's husband's name is Guyladriel.

The Winter Storm is here but luckily I found my red cowboy underwear and now I'm wandering around the house looking like Relatively Young Santa.

The rules are do not disturb or hold up the penguin. Stand still and let him go on his way. And here, he's heading off into the interior of the vast continent. With 5,000 kilometers ahead of him, he's heading towards certain death.

This optimism seems so forceful and fake: ragged eyes kept too long in a box see cyanide in every city block and take no comfort in notions of graceful ends but instead seek solace in wires still frayed and spitting 28 December 1950

I last got my hair cut here in about 1987 and it looked exactly like this then

Because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

In my family we say: A naked man has few secrets; a flayed man, none.
