Noooooooooooo

I read a lot of Maigret in French, decades ago. Still enchanted by the sensory appeal of a cold “pression” and a simple baguette au fromage. Also lots of body parts — lips, faces, hands etc — “se crispant”.

My band has made €14.98 net in six days off this total banger. Help us smash the fifteen buck barrier!

I flipped and reversed the lyrics into an optimistic poem a few years ago: bsky.app/profile/benb...

The synopsis supports my understanding of the story, not that it makes any difference, also I'm not sure I can really trust what the synopsis says, given the bizarre writing style

I only read it because my son was convinced that the dino drug was the cure for a heart *virus* but I thought it was just standard heart disease

Newsletter: It's time for a radical new approach to tech CEOs: mocking them, because they talk like idiots and provide little value to society outside of their dedication to shareholder value. They sound stupid, they do nothing, and it's time to fight back.

New Saturday afternoon murder poem by me:

Behold my fucking frangipane
I got the recipe from my friend Diane
Gonna bake it in my Bakewell tart
And feed it to Donald, he’s got heart
DISEASE

Text of a poem by Walt Whitman, entitled “When I heard the learn’d astronomer” When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

I’m rewatching Breaking Bad so heeeeeeeere’s Walt!

It is no secret. All power is one in source and end, I think. Years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together.
