I want degenerate art and decadent culture.
For "cookies" read "peanutbutter cups"
Each evening I curse myself for not buying large amounts of cookies, and each day I studiously make sure not to have cookies in the house for evening self.

Pick one FOR WHAT?

In any case, it's Austen.
You can only pick one. I’m sorry.

Jane Austen or Mary Shelley

But on the bright side, the 18thC is clearly winning. @rezekjoe.bsky.social & @profchander.bsky.social bearing witness:

When I finished CLARISSA, I had to note the place and precise moment. Without a doubt a life-enhancing book.

I'm always nostalgic for St. Louis on Halloween because it is the custom there for trick-or-treaters to tell a joke in exchange for candy. Doorkeepers find it sweet and often funny, but it does put more pressure on the kids.

If you were trick-r-treating in STL, what joke would you tell?

If you're going to walk the batter on purpose, fine, but you gotta throw the damned ball four times. If you're not going to throw the ball, go home.

Blasting Haydn's MISSA IN ANGUSTIIS "Nelson" Mass, because.

The first subtitle is "Mass for Troubled Times"; also named "Nelson" to celebrate and commemorate Admiral Nelson's defeat of Napoleon's navy in Egypt.

It's gorgeous.

I don't want to give them any ideas, but when do you think we'll see ads for "Support America--buy an authentic piece of American history!" and it's rubble from the E. wing in a little box, for $99.99
