25.10.2025 21:15 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0i am going to write a letter to the editor of Harperโs magazine about Gooning
24.10.2025 23:47 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0last winter: eye of rah, bought a property in egypt, chopped chin
this summer; eeffoc, adrian, barbershop haircut, etc.
now: burger in vegas.
i hazard the prediction that weโll see new standard collage elements emerge to go with that burger clip, seems to be how these edit trends work
the last time i wrote about gooning โ spring of 2024. On a rainy afternoon in richmond, VA visiting a friend. Was on a deadline to get an explainer for the term โgooncaveโ posted to know your meme dot com by 5:30 pm. remember eating chicken tikka masala later that night. core memory.
24.10.2025 03:35 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0have consulted the group chat and it looks like i gotta write something about gooning because print media has gotten a piece of story very well, but the depths still demand to be plumbed
24.10.2025 03:31 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0one cause of the bothsidesism we still see, even today, is the left isnโt really foreign to the center like the right is.
when they get mild opposition from the left it hurts more because itโs in a language they understand, from the kind of people they respect, so it leaves a deeper impression

the defining image of the early 21st century is an agent of the state pointing a gun at a person, and a citizen pointing a smartphone camera back at them
we see this scene reenacted every day, around the world
and then i went home. the whole thing feels like a fever dream as i remember it now. whenever you see a swan, particularly when you do not expect to see one, it is some kind of sign from the universe. what it portends we cannot often know. and that, my friends, may be the point
30.09.2025 03:21 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0now, one swan already โ a big deal! but then, from the other side of the bridgeโs great feet sunk in the flowing water, i saw three more emerge! Four swans! I was essentially blackout at the time. I gripped the stone bannister, gleeful
30.09.2025 03:19 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0one night, while on a stroll, when i lived in paris, i observed a swan swimming in the river at night. it was a cold fall night. i was alone โ always a beautiful feeling to find yourself, for just a second, alone in a big city.
