I was also thinking that this was feeling more like Ligeti

I'm picturing those cat toys that make the crinkle noises

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

Mr. Schmidt is just Schmidt

Same

Always try

"We'll meet by the crossroads after dark. That's what we arranged."

This is a trope that usually doesn't end well.

After reading that Levin and Stepan Arkadyich sat down to eat polotok, I had to look it up. It's mummified goose. Sounds delicious.

Looks good.
I'll watch.

I just told my wife that I'm a Green Day purist and I don't like it.

It does feel like a Valentine book.

How many re-reads of Infinite Jest are you up to?

Id be up for that.

I'd love a Satantango read along.

A letter from Philip Glass, with his name at the top. "After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15 "Lincoln" from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony. Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership. [signed] Philip Glass

Three cheers for Philip Glass, whose Solo Piano record has been my boon companion for decades whenever I'm painting. (I notice that Glass didn't use the current administration's name for the center in his letter.)

These are ones I found for MN; if anyone has other ideas, please share them, and please donate if you can.

A Finnish word for a coward is jänishousu, or “rabbit pants.” A slang Dutch version is papkindje, which means “porridge kid.” And a Turkish phrase for a wimp or coward is muhallebi çocuğu. It means “child of pudding.” Or, if you prefer, you could translate it as “custard boy.”

#TolstoyReadAlong
Several times so far in Anna Karenina it's been mentioned that you hear the rustle of a dress before a woman enters a room. There must have been some loud dresses in Tolstoy's time.

I mean, what do you say any more?

Plato Has Been Censored; What Next? PEN America condemns and calls absurd Texas A&M censoring Plato readings and discussions related to race and gender

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.

Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

I really hope that it shows up for someone "People who bought sandwich bags also bought Existentialism from Dostoevsky to Sartre"
