Every complaint I had against Chomsky concerned the same problem: the way he excused or dismissed atrocities committed by his team: ie regimes and forces opposed to Western hegemonic power. As his friend, Epstein was given the same pass.
In other words, it's not an anomaly.
It's the same story.

On Joyce's birthday, one can ponder improbable things, like ineluctable modalities or sighs in shockings. Or one might grab a Guinness and watch an interview that Igor, our very own Master Matrix Builder, gave to @laughtears.bsky.social, talking Joyce and beyond:

@wake-in-progress.bsky.social We must go deeper! Much like in the movie Inception, @laughtears.bsky.social and I went several clicks down into Joyce, Darger, Pynchon and Schwarzenegger. Thanks for the great conversation, Gerry!

During this session, we discovered that once you mention about The Magic Mountain, you keep seeing it everywhere, like a pertinacious mirage. It seems to feel rather cosy in the Wakean landscape, that mountain.

Oh Joyous Maybe Night! Biddy the blue hen from Finnegans Wake laying as egg that is also the Winter Solstice sun: "she knows, she just feels she was kind of born to lay and love eggs. (trust her to propagate the species and hoosh her fluffballs safe through din and danger!)"
HAPPY MAYBE NIGHT!
Our Winter Solstice celebration of Finnegans Wake has begun :))) www.maybeday.net/night/
One more mindmap. Does it have a Christmas vibe? It must, since it contains a bubbling place of alcohol. And a bit of fairy-tale logic. Once upon a time... there was a Viconian cycle. Once, twice, thrice upon a time, and counting.
Happy Christmas, everyone! (HCE, you again?)

Last meeting this year - the Question 1 of the Quiz is done! Perhaps no new heads have grown on old shoulders, but definitely new light bulbs have lit up in old heads. Thanks @kenjihayakawa.com for joining us again and kudos to our Matrix Builder @augustinealoysius.bsky.social for the crossword.

Wait, what? My sonβs friend, traveling in China, is staying at a hotel chain called βJames Joyce Coffetelβ, and instead of a Gideon Bible, they leave a copy of Ulysses by the bedside.

The digital version has a missing paragraph from the print version (where I first saw it). I vaguely recalled the name Gerry Fialka in connection to Frank Zappa, and yes, it's him: archivist, production manager, ran the Barfko-Swill mail order operation in the 80s.

Hear about why, in 1986, a New York editor rejected California Burning, my (still-unpublished) novel about wildfires and climate change) by saying: βNo one cares about California.β
Der kalifornische Filmemacher Gerry Fialka setzte sich deshalb mit Freunden zusammen, um das Megawerk Seite fΓΌr Seite grΓΌndlich zu lesen und zu verstehen. Das war 1995.Β Jetzt, 28 Jahre spΓ€ter, hat der Leseclub die letzte der gut 600 Seiten durchgearbeitet.Β Was kommt als NΓ€chstes?
