John Updike why did you call your novel "In the Beauty of the Lilies" after the last verse in The Battle Hymn of the Republic when you are the man least likely to die to make men free in literary history

looked up the subreddit from LRT and realized it was a for-real incel subreddit, which is too bad. this and Tulathimutte's book are fun to read at the same time. there are people who are beyond help even if they're just doing a weird bit

"chiropractors are doctors, just like people with humanities PhDs" is a beautiful troll

nice pieties you got there bro. be a shame if someone skewered them

Tony T I'm flipping through your book and noticing a lot of the characters are psychotically preoccupied with not having sex. I would ask "everything okay buddy" but you made a meta comment about it elsewhere so it's fine

ProtonSheets--private spreadsheets you can share online. "You could just use a file on your computer, but why not pay us" -- ProtonSheets

brb checking the age gap that was between you and her when you two were an item

a right-wing car-dealership political-lobbying group called "nada" is straight out of Pynchon

"It's all happening again"--and the first time it happened, well, here we are. the sourpuss lefties were right about Obama and the 2008 wave. who's to say they won't be right again

"sources" can say whatever they want. get someone on the record and maybe we're talking for real

cannot see *lias *squith without laughing about the time he misgendered Alex Press and deleted his account in embarrassment. seems like a solid enough guy nine years later. tears in rain

"oh yeah, that's DinkMagic mixed up with the guy who posted his red balls in the tub" is not fictionalization

it's a really sharp formal experiment. I liked it a lot

it's weird that a novel that starts as "here's the dumb stuff I saw online from 2017 to 2019" with identifiable, barely changed people and incidents ends as a rare-disease weepie

didn't expect the big turn in No One Is Talking About This. I got turned into a blubbering mess. separately it's tough to think about it as fiction and not memoir

"diving for dear life/when we could be diving for pearls"

it's funny that the same stuff that killed journalism ultimately killed any good project the tech companies were selling too

thats right griph.

RSS rules. RSS never became less relevant. RSS is a way to claw your agency back from silicon valley algorithmic timelines. That said if you use it you really are a sicko

"people need to put away their phones and get back to reading" is such a middle-aged-millennial cliche that I'm waiting for the coming of the 25 year old who blasted their brain with TikTok and became a genius

it sucks absolute dog dick to go to bed at 8:30 PM but I've found the only way to wake up at a reasonable hour is to go to bed at an unreasonable one

Abner Dean

video games are so cool

[looking back on 37 years of life] yeah but I'm built different now
