So many things that should be delightful end up exhausting, simply because they didn't know when to stop.
For example Thomas Chatterton Williams would have delighted everyone, however unwittingly, if he had stopped writing before he ever started. We should take a moment to appreciate all the terrible but delightfully unknown writers who spared us their vapid opinions by instead becoming used car dealers or dying young. No such luck vis-Γ -vis I. Chatty, who is required to exist in public discourse because someone had to crack open the "liberal defender of fascism" niche so that the New York Times could live in it like a malignant hermit crab. The fact that Tom
"Big Chats" Willie is the best they could find to do it says all you need to know about the value of the project.
this is an utterly delightful paragraph from @rusty.todayintabs.com whose artistry I would applaud even if I didnβt agree with assessment of Mr. T Dot Chats, which I do, fully and completely www.todayintabs.com/p/the-chatte...

When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts.
