See also the constant use of “clash,” as though any of these confrontations has anything close to like force available to the “side” being terrorized.
Wrote last month about the media’s use of “crackdown” to legitimize and validate the regime’s occupation of opposition strongholds. It’s driving me insane.

Shout out to the person who left a giant roll of thick, high-quality Christmas wrapping paper (the kind with a helpful grid on the back) next to one of the vacuums at the self-service car wash one evening in June 2020. Still has a few gifts left in it. Thanks, friend.

Would have grabbed this anyway, but I also believe an inscription such as this deserves a loving home. (I can’t think of a positive reason for it to have turned up used.)

I'm a longtime Poetry subscriber, and this really disappoints me. I hope the foundation reverses course.
Earlier this fall, the Poetry Foundation announced upcoming layoffs of longtime staff members. Many poets have already collaborated on a letter sent to the Foundation privately, urging them to rescind layoffs; the Foundation has not responded. Link in story / add your name:

Related: One doesn’t have to understand an opera’s language or plot to like the way the voices sound.
Incidentally prog rock bands like Yes figured out that you can pretty much string together random words that sound good together and people will still listen to your music. For them the vocals were just another instrument, rather than the conveyor of a message.
Musicians tend to be biased towards the idea that effort put into writing lyrics pays off, but most music is not consumed *actively*. You hear music on the radio while you are driving, at weddings, or as muzak in stores

I don't play and can offer no insight about the quality of the performance, but as time cements this as one of my top three Springsteen songs, my latest feeling about it is that the bass line slays.
