I once told someone I wrote The Corrections and Prep and they said, "Nope, sorry."

I was going to say they're playing 1D chess but there is no point.

Welp, off to write my short, MALWARE FOR ROYALTY STATEMENTS.

A buddy of mine apropos absolutely nothing, just said "Have you heard of the book "Coffin Moon? Can't remember the author right now. I'm listening to the audio book. Highly recommended. Super impressed."

Fune how wen peeple heer I'm an English profeser thay imedeatlee think I'm going to judj ther spelling?

I beg your pardon but surely he just says, "I've been blown harder than that."

So baffling. And why not release a stream of partial, edited ones, so if the real one is released it's old news? And why didn't anyone in the Biden administration release bits? Out of respect for the rule of law? he asked, weeping.

I loved the article because it placed me so firmly among the cranky old men who dismiss everyone's lived experiences. "You're not seeing images you're conceptualizing that you're seeing them!"

(MRI says WHAT?)

It's fun to get my ego popped like that. The memory stuff is creepier though.

Holy shit. Best blurb in the history of blurbing. Now I can't wait to read.

100% agree ... until I think about ICE agents.

They are, and by a plurality of American voters, too--when it matters most. I'm not sure if ... damn. I just ran out of thoughts. So I guess I'll end there: I'm not sure.

Even worse, it acted as if those things were not contested. But they were, they were, they were.

The corporate media largely assumed the North's victory in the Civil War was a good thing. That slavery was bad and cruelty was also bad, even if committed by authorities. Blacks should have rights, gays should not be beaten, wives should not be raped by their husbands.

It paid lip service to the equality of women. I can't remember a single news item predicated on the subservience of women. I can't think of a time the corporate news overtly assumed the divinely-generated superiority of Christianity.
