Everyone talks about House of Leaves, not enough discuss Poe’s Haunted album that accompanies it.

Had a dream last night where James Carville turned into a little red venomous snake, & I was tasked by the general public with wrangling him outside of my office, outfitted with nothing but my bare hands & a twin size bed skirt. No more late-night chocolate almond milk for me.

Attn Pittsburgh folks:

Regional grid operator’s ‘auction’ will result in higher electricity bills for Pa. customers The auction, meant to ensure sufficient power supply in the future, closed at a record price for the second year in a row.

PJM Interconnection's final auction price hit a record high for the second year in a row, closing at nearly $330 per megawatt-day — a 22% increase over the $270 per megawatt-day from last year’s auction. That means bills will likely rise between 1.5% and 5% for most ratepayers.

Icona iconawrites Every generation should read The Lord of the Rings and learn that men are allowed to show affection, that power corrupts, and that happiness does not come from being a ruler but from baking potatoes and snoozing in an armchair by the fire in your cosy Hobbit hole.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
