This rules. JCO won the Canon Wars.
so true from JCO
I keep making Adobe Acrobat tell me I have too many tabs open, feel perversely proud of this. Feels like, 'oh you can't handle this, huh??'
This meme will never not be funny (as long as we have Nazi types in our government, anyway)
Haha I came here to see what the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social take on Noem would be. Good one
Always reassuring to see Archduke-Ferdinand-assassination analogies 😬
“Sargant’s prescription for her? Since she was trapped in a miserable situation and her husband’s sociopathy was incurable, she should have a lobotomy. That would make her ‘indifferent’ to her husband’s mistreatment”
Jesus!
Just sayin’
Brad Lander: “It’s pretty outrageous…once people think that they don’t have to follow the law because the president doesn’t, workers suffer, our universities suffer, students & faculty suffer.”
St. John’s University can’t just UNrecognize faculty unions after 56 years. That’s not the law works.

“Whenever I'm in some small town or anywhere, I'm always drawn to the library. I just find it so wonderful, like just welcoming. That may be how some people feel about going to church. You know, they go in and have the same feeling of comfort.”
Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”
At least the Bush administration made some effort to keep their story straight when they lied to the American public
jesus
Interesting! Did not realize
I’m normally in the “anything that gets people to read challenging 19th century novels is good” camp… But am having trouble with this one
This article has it all:
*racist nudists vs. Christian, family-friendly nudists
*a giant kitten-eating python
*a tax-evading bigamist and his 5th wife
*a film about a troubled man who parachutes onto an island of lady nudists 🪂
*”sass” used as a verb in a legal document
“The National Security Strategy of the United States of America may have its longest life as a particularly vivid example of the ways in which bad faith will always manifest in terrible prose.” Brutal (but fair) close-reading takedown by @jonahssiegel.bsky.social
This a really great read. The characters he talks to are real, but also very clearly fake. They are pathetic is all senses of the word. It is obvious that the world is rewarding people who should never be put in charge of anything.
att'n @mattseybold.bsky.social
Sam Kriss in @harpers.bsky.social on AI very grim, but funny. I am getting the sense that our AI overlords do not value literature. "My mom tried to put me on classical books and I couldn’t understand, like, the bullshit Huckleberry, whatever fuck bullshit”

Social media fed me this story, with a photo (about a 20-year-old pregnant French woman, Éliane Vauclerc, freed by a Nazi in 1944).
I googled and can find no source outside of Facebook posts, so I'm virtually certain it's entirely made up.
There's going to be so much of this...
2003 book in my local little free library. Hard no!! 😳
@louvreofthelouvre.bsky.social ?
Guinness the black cat rests on his blankie in sphinx position. He has been caught mid yawn, and his pink mouth is open so wide, it practically bisects his face.

Very young college-radio dj playing Billie Holliday’s “Summertime”, a song she’d never heard, saying “some of you may recognize the melody from Sublime’s “Doin’ Time” or Lana del Ray’s cover of that.” I winced (but appreciated the enthusiastic curiosity even so)
Was happy to dip into the symposium at the Lilly Library on the incredible dictionary collection of Madeline Kripke, self-described “Lexicunt”
Who could have predicted that a memecoin called "Fuck Joe Biden," managed by Steve Bannon, would have involved financial irregularities?

I like this Frederick Wiseman line as an adage about creativity: “I am trying to harvest a crop,” he said, “which I have not planted, and which may not exist”
Menus-Plaisirs is sheer pleasure. Highly recommend for anyone who cares about food
