whats great about ulysses is that there is so much to figure out. to read it, one must uncover enough while admitting that multitudes yet escape them. to "solve" ulysses would take a decade, but the fact that this enigma is in some way solvable makes it truly remarkable. from nonsense arises meaning

molly bloom: yeah no i mean yeah i will i guess
saying “yeah no i mean yeah” is such an interesting linguistic tidbit. you say yeah, and then correct yourself to no, then recorrect back to yeah and what you end up with is a less aggressive form of saying yes

messed up how so many cities have a street called “market st” but don’t have a market there. these streets were designed to be wide enough to have a sprawling marketplace for the peddling of various wares. Now that’s not allowed, you have to go to the store and buy from a COMPANY. fucked up really

TIL Shakespeare’s successor as the playwright for the King’s Men was doing weird art cinema in the 1620s. “A Game at Chess” was about a crisis between England and Spain but framed as a chess match. It’s like John Ford died and everyone decided that Kenneth Anger would be the king of movies.

it's gotta be weird if you aren't into football at all but follow people who do. you're just minding your own business, enjoying yourself on social media, and all of a sudden everybody says DOINK at the same time and doesn't bother to explain why

got gyros at a halal cart and a bit fell out when we unwrapped them
