I'm in the new issue of the @thetemzreview.bsky.social with a look at Kate Beaton's latest. Bodies of Art, Bodies of Labour is a call for working-class art and a survey of the literature of Cape Breton, full of the great anecdotes she's known for. www.thetemzreview.com/mcphee-31.html

There has never been a better time in all of human history to be stupid: you have access to LLMs and all the woo-woo bullshit that you could ever need, and if you somehow manoeuvre yourself into a position where you never have to produce results you can live a comfortable life as a dum-dum.

There's a papal conclave movie with Jim Lahey playing an illiterate cardinal and Brian Blessed playing Brian Blessed. I like it more than Conclave for personal reasons, but can't help but weep for the movie that could've been if they'd just let those two go at it for 90 minutes

A lot of the (often quite powerful!) guys emailing Epstein were asking him for dating advice, which seems to suggest that they saw his own sex life as aspirational.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"
