I haven't even started the interview part yet, but @marcmaron.bsky.social's breathless and hilarious rant about locking his keys in his car is one of the best antidotes to anxiety in these times I've heard..."I have control over nothing, but sometimes, there's ice cream." Amen brother.

great interview w/my brother: "With his signature precise, erudite sentences, he brings humor and lightness to otherwise bleak portraits of what it means to be a person. He’s a tightrope walker crossing a chasm of loneliness, doing cartwheels." @bombmag.bsky.social bombmagazine.org/articles/202...
