Returned from the grave for #MarchMammalMadness
Trapped in a conversation with some guy who’s “just passionate about history” but he seems a little *too* into some obscure historical atrocity, and, by the way, he has memorabilia he wants to show you…

I also first read it as a teenager and the way the reveal is executed (the single drop of blood on the page!) has stayed with me for years. Someone please steal that structure and use it for something not horrendously racist.

It’s “The Outsider” for me.

And focusing on the art’s quality has material consequences. Not just in distracting from the actual issue or the people X has hurt, but also in convincing people that Good Art is a weight that can counterbalance people’s bad actions and complicate questions of justice, while Bad Art isn’t.

The behavior is unacceptable and whether X made good, bad, or mediocre art has fuck-all to do with the conversation.

the terror is the only book in recent memory that I have physically flung with great force (about 50 pages from the end)

it gives you a pretty good sense of who simmons is as a person but the reality is, in fact, worse

I feel like we don't talk enough about the right-wing shift in emphasis from "pro-capital punishment" to "more crimes should be capital" and "there should be fewer barriers (such as due process) to enacting capital punishment"

8. Evil city / pure countryside is an example of what Jeremy Lent calls a “root metaphor”: an idea so deeply implanted in our minds that we don’t even recognise it as an idea.

Feels so cheesy to say but I'm reminded of this scene every time. You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.

These guys act like they've never set foot on planet Earth and we should be making more fun of them for it.

Wait do my niche ethical stances all boil down to “the American worship of athletics is detrimental to public health, sanity, and quality of life”

Sillier perhaps, but I do believe it’s unjustifiable to shut down large swaths of a city where millions of people live, for a full day, so that some people can run a marathon.
