An interesting thing about dementia - something I learned first-hand with my mom. Take the dementia patient out of contact with a negative person, substitute with a positive person, and the dementia patient becomes more positive.

This time of year thou mayst in me behold
Where yellow leaves or none or few do hang
Upon those boughs that shake against the cold
Bare ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang
Do not go gentle into that noise obscene
Rage, rage, against the blowing machine

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

I wonder if this was always the case and the idea of science and objective reality was just a byway along the road of human history

I am such a huge fan of Jaime but never could get into Gilbert. If anyone can get me to give him another try, it’s you.

I do not dream of weeknight meals.
Daily dinners don’t appeal:
I dream of brunch on Sunday next,
Or Mich’lin stars, enormous checks
For Friday meals by candle-light.
But weeknights? Just a boring bite.

Is anyone detecting a kind of Damon Runyon vibe in Nuzzi’s terrible prose?

β€œTrump signed it: and Trump’s name was good upon EOs, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Epstein was as dead as a door-nail.” 2/2

There’s definitely a Christmas Carol vibe about the whole pedophile mess. Not that Trump is going to repent:

β€œEpstein was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the prison guard, the warden, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. β€œ 1/2

i should have been a model in my story biographical
and chart the course of bullets theoretical and actual
toward the brain of my beloved mistaken for a victual
a camelot of dining for a creature that's vermiculal
