My wife: I didn't go clubbing
Me: Not even the that one club in San Luis? What was it called? Ugh. This is going to bug me.
Tonight while talking about nothing related:
Me: THE GRADUATE! THAT'S THE NAME OF THE CLUB
Wife: ?

Off the top of my head, the Hillerman novels. I saw a side of poverty most people rarely see, but a beauty and resilience that most people will never experience about an American culture I will never be a part of. No other books have made me appreciate my home state of New Mexico more.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I really hate that this guy got to where he is by spending a teeny tiny fraction of his money throwing crumbs to poor people on Twitter so he could talk about "Twitter philanthropy" on Fox News so and get enough name recognition so Trump would notice him.

How can I ask Joyce Carol Oates to tweet that tightrope walking across two skyscrapers during a windstorm is the most mundane thing that everyone except Elon Musk has done and it explains why he's a joyless nincompoop?

Remember when Pulte launched himself into a fame by buying pizzas and burgers for poor people on Twitter and people allowed and retweeted him to give him the klout he needed to get on Fox news? It cost him almost nothing and now he's got the ear of president and he's also his attack dog.
