With a heavy heart, I return Whalefall by Daniel Kraus to the library. I’ll never stop thinking about it. Haven’t had a new favorite book since Artemis Fowl back in middle school. Haven’t read a book twice in a row since Malice in high school. This is my Torah. I will never read a better book.
"Angel Down" is a book where the whole book is a single sentence about a soldier in WWII who is sent in to find a screaming fallen soldier, to put him out of his misery, but he instead finds a fallen angel. I couldn't grok pulling off a whole novel in a single sentence but Daniel Kraus does it.

Neil Young’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was raw, loud, and lightning in a jar. Fever dreams, one-note solos, and cosmic chemistry—here are 5 truths behind the 1969 folk-rock classic. zurl.co/ZlNeK
Last night of Paul Simon’s sold-out run at LA’s Disney Center. Completely persuasive rendition of hits- and 7 Psalms-in the voice of a man in his 80s. Rich, stirring, and contemplative in a way it wouldn’t have been 20 years ago.
Just finished the incredible Angel Down by @danielkraus.com.
Definitely one to look forward to. Just make sure you have a brown paper bag to breathe into handy.

it's worse than 'you're on your own' actually - they're actively trying to destroy people.

Can we do a class action suit against the Supreme Court also please?

the last 2 eps are some of the best TV I've ever seen.
I am here for it.
EXACTLY, omg - bad enough they are being platformed in every major magazine.
maybe they can "turn on the water" again when they're done.
terrific, thank-you
Hmm. I assumed they left because they didn't want to support a platform run by a fascist who encourages disinfo, neo-nazi trolls, and bots?
P.S.- they all made the correct choice.
