Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

It’s truly shocking how little this aspect is being reported.

The supposed rationale for this war are conditions Trump willfully created all by himself to no benefit whatsoever.

Q: How do you titillate an ocelot?

A: You oscillate its tit a lot.

And then the department meetings about AI, where we have to endure our very (very) stupidest colleagues rhapsodize about the inimitable authenticity of human expression.

The idea that writing and literature professors are supposed to hire specialists on AI (which is probably too new to have specialists who aren't just asshole-blowhards) when we're no longer allowed to replace tenure lines in areas like Modernist Literature makes me crazy.

Is it possible finish brushing a cat? It always seems as though the amount of fur that comes off is the same with the final brushstroke as with the first.

Is this snuggling reciprocal? Or is the brown tabby merely being snuggled with?

I know Coco has been adopted, but the way you two are so besotted by each other makes me wonder: do you ever fail at fostering?

My friend's dog suddenly started refusing to enter his boy's bedroom, where he had slept since puppyhood. They finally realized that a dying watch battery had been pinging very very quietly for days, at exactly the same pitch as the warning ping for getting too close to the invisible fence outside.

Smart alec me told the dermatologist not to worry because I would have any fetus scraped out of me -- with or without accutane -- as soon as I learned it was there. He refused to give me the prescription.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
