I was reminded earlier today about when Kevin Garnett talked about Hakeem Olajuwon's trash talk, and it improved my day considerably. I share it now with you, in hopes that it will improve yours.

just found out that Emma Goldman attended Freud’s lectures in the US and was removed for disruptive behavior and felt the need to pass it along

brb off to surgically remove all of my memories of this
Confused by vague/cryptic posts of amazement from reporters tonight?
I’ll break it down for you:
After Olivia Nuzzi began doing press for her upcoming book (about her affair with RFK Jr.), reporter Ryan Lizza (Nuzzi’s ex) published an essay claiming that Nuzzi also had an affair with Mark Sanford.

All of my interviews were in hotel rooms, which was bizarre and awkward for everyone, a high bar for my field (philosophy) which is notorious for its obliviousness
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

What a terrible, heavy loss.
Heartbroken to hear of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social ‘s transition to be a crip anscestor AND feeling so honored to have been alive in the time as this brilliant human, and gotten to learn from her.
May her memory continue to always be a blessing.

Lolita is the literary equivalent of Scorsese looking at the audience through Jordan Belfort’s eyes at the end of The Wolf of Wall Street
I looked at the twenty-nine mentions of LOLITA in the Epstein emails released this week, and what they say about America today.
Lolita and Epstein's emails
A good reminder that there are monsters among us.

Assassins is the most indispensable American musical ever written, and therefore the greatest, and I will die on this tiny hill, clinging to my tiny flag like charlie guiteau clinging to a flimsy chapbook of his own poetry
also "the ballad of guiteau" is one of the best songs in sondheim's Assassins, which is one of history's best musicals

Something I think about occasionally is how the main characters in Succession so repulsed me from the very first episode that I couldn’t watch any further, and that I was somehow expected to watch it *because* they were so repulsive.

TV and film of the moment aren't going to galvanize anyone. But stories closer to home just might.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Such a great piece on community.
I'm so psyched about @bonfire.bonfire.cafe.ap.brid.gy's work on making the open social internet good for real communities by putting in the culture work right from the very beginning. I'm a scavenger and a pragmatist *and also* I think the way we do things matters.
