I’ll take the dog watch*

When I tell people how to vote, it is because of my many virtues, but when they tell people how to vote, it is because of their duplicity

Absolutely love Pinsker’s short work and had somehow missed this <3

Wild to think that, of all the COVID innovations to take hold, we are living through public discourse shaped by the graphmen

“Can’t be fixed overnight” doing a lot of heavy lifting these days

Currently mentally unpacking something similar as someone who first read Foster Wallace in my teens and fount the prose revelatory.

Now revisiting Infinite Jest for the first time since then and caught entirely off guard by utterly I had forgotten the AAVE chapter early in the book

Disgusted that there isn’t a recurring Scooby Doo bad guy called Rex Ruthor

One wonders how he would react to a claim that that’s political art

White writings, shite tidings

“Dark wings, dark words” is a weird phrase to use in a world that appears to rely predominantly on ravens as a machanism for communication.

I’ve yet to see compelling evidence he was even using that hippocampus

The killer of it is that I think I’d make an excellent brain surgeon, but I’m more of a learn-by-doing kind of guy, and apparently they haven’t let you do that for neurosurgery since like… the fifties

As if any of these statue-freaks could have navigated the agoge…

I guess I just expected a cleric of the Tetragrammaton to do more tetragrammar and less gunkata…

I’m leyin’ my lines!

Watching all the Harry Potter movies on Netflix over Christmas, but pausing every so often to click the thumbs down so they know I disapprove

I’m afraid I don’t believe in GDP

I think people should be able to afford to have children because being able to reproduce is something all my ancestors could do

The children are beying for the blades

Managed to find an Amazon page whose prices hadn’t been updated and order 32GB of decent RAM just before Christmas at summer 2025 prices. Page has since been updated, wonder if they’ll honour it!

Make usury a sin again

Watching Hustlers.

It’s very nearly a remake of Interview with the Vampire

Bramble Stoker has a lot of the same brainfeel as Rumple Stilskin!

Me: Bram Stoker is a lot less cool when you find out his name was “Abraham”

She: Of course, what did you think Bram was short for?

Me, sweating: … Bramjamin?

And, echoing Conrad Brunstrom, it affects the rhythm and pace of the sentence, it should be included!
