Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

This is incredible.

One Battle feels like it captures the Pynchon thing better than Inherent Vice did, which is kind of unexpected, but like, the sadness and the esoteric crackle are much more present here. Long, but largely cause it had to be. Its a generational epic of late America after all.

All six chapters of the #megatext book are now drafted. Only the intro and conclusion to go!

7yo channeling Taylor Swift: I just want to stay in my probiotic haze! I just want to stay in my multivitamin haze!

Do you know when I was growing up I never imagined "I believe in science and the Bill of Rights" might be controversial statements. Silly me

THIS IS AN ENGLISH OR COMMUNICATIONS DEGREE! JUST DO THOSE INSTEAD JESUS IN HEAVEN

I want a kick ass #KrakoaWasRight t-shirt. #XMen #Krakoa

My favorite sentence of my #Krakoan #XMen chapter: The Six’s mission in S.W.O.R.D. 1 (2020), then, is nothing less than capturing that imagination, its very essence—or rather, quintessence—and bringing it back into the diegetic space of Earth-616’s reality as a physical material.

actually key to understanding this entire regime

"I'm a very aesthetic person and I don't like some of the ships you're doing, aesthetically."

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

So close to the end of this epic chapter of my megatext book on #TheXMen, but now I have to write about the Phoenix retcon and the history of the #WhiteHotRoom. What!?

If you haven't read this yet, you really should.

A truth about me: I can hoop w/ my local old heads.

We thought we could master language and that hubris has destroyed all that was built of it

Students have such fascinating things to say about this novel of technophile chaos, geopolitical destabilization, censorship, class war, & misogynistic backlash.

I wonder why.

"constitutional conventions have been abandoned. What if we decided to take tools out of toolbox on the 250th anniversary for 1 purpose: addressing challenges AI poses to fundamental law, consent of the governed, equal rights, life, liberty+the pursuit of happiness?"

This is it. Today I start the last section of my last chapter of the #megatext book. It's focused on #Krakoa. I've been reading for this for six years. Let's go. #XMen

It feels like there should be something interesting to say about the constellation of Trump, Kimmel, Idiocracy, and The Man Show, but what that is, is beyond me.

Markey: Landmark EPA greenhouse gas rollback would create 'Environmental Destruction Agency'

Repealing the Endangerment Finding means declaring greenhouse gases harmless—despite what years of science and evidence show. I’ll keep fighting so our children inherit clean air, not pollution.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?"

A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons.

Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

In denial of everything else that is happening, and/or to counter it, can we take a moment to reflect on how an awful situation (teaching remotely because of covid) left behind a WEALTH of resources online that continue to be amazing to use?
Thank you everyone!
