I patiently await the definitive thesis untangling the relationship bt The Kenosha Kid in Gravity’s Rainbow and The Thalidomide Kid in Stella Maris. Are they the same character imposing his diune self upon separate authors? Is old Cormac just a sucker for a solid callback? Inquiring minds…

“Working class is in many ways becoming a callous misnomer for non-working class. It was estimated that the proportion of unskilled working age men not active in the labor force Rose from 3% in the 1990s to 30% today. The typical union member now is a woman in her 50s working in the public sector.”

I ride MARTA as much as I can, but I am constrained by two things: 1) the limitations of the rail system. 2) the prevalence of antisocial behavior on the trains. The answer to this is more stations and more enforcement. (And ppl should lose jobs over the 5P renovation)

We’re not acting like it’s an emergency because there’s little we can do politically. There’s little we can do politically because voters don’t feel like it’s an emergency yet. Voters don’t feel like it’s an emergency yet because we’re not acting like it’s an emergency. Rinse & repeat until fascism.
