In other words, Wednesday.
It might be "performative" but sometimes that performance gives people peace of mind and comfort. The country is run by vice signalers that think virtue is a joke. Society needs more performance of virtue than ever.
Aw shucks. Thanks, David.
Of late, America seems little more than Ignorance and Arrogance on a perpetual double date with Venality and Criminality. Happy Wednesday!
Today marks six years since the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic; I don’t think I’m ever going to not remember that (not remembering being a different category than forgetting).
the weekend should begin on wednesday
THE DARK HOUR The dark hour came in the night and purred by my ear. Outside, in rain, the plush of the mosses stood higher. Hour without end, without measure. It opens the window and calls its own name in.

Ha! Interesting. I would have guessed The Grifters. Anyway, I picked this up yesterday and will enjoy revisiting these, it’s been a long time.
A perfect mix of the good, the great, the underrated, the overrated, and the utterly fucking insane.
JIM THOMPSON: FIVE NOIR NOVELS OF THE 1950s & 60s. Out today from Library of America.

It’s going to be a long, stupid week.
if it wasn't a world-destroying atrocity it would be kind of funny how much time and money and energy is being put into convincing everyone to love AI and still the general consensus is like "meh"
So weary of living in a nation of cultists. But at least the weather’s nice today. So it goes.
I know it’s a much larger issue and affects my life in hidden ways, yes, but one of the singular pleasures of not owning a car for the past twenty-two years is never giving a flying fuck about gas prices.
I wrote something--4000 words' worth of something!--for the Yale Review about Hamnet the book, Hamnet the movie, & the riddle of representing Shakespeare's life on the page & on the screen.
This has always been the point of ai being absolutely crammed down our throats. It allows CEOs, policy makers, military officials and people at the top to deflect blame for anything decision they make.
