even if you somehow decided that “The Raven” had no subtext, it is extremely funny to think that the explicit text is about *liking* a raven

it's maddening to see right-leaning YIMBY types (in case this escapes containment, I'm a left YIMBY) go "well, despite everything, you gotta hand it to him for housing and trash stuff" when his corrupt mayorship caused many of the city's best urbanists to feel like they had to leave!

I wouldn't pit these two against each other and I obviously also loved and admired Brian Wilson but I'm a bit depressed about Wilson's death taking a little wind out of the sails of Sly Stone's passing. he too changed the rules about how popular music worked and it's hard to imagine it without him.

It’s almost like writing a blank check for someone after they make clear they’ll cash it for infinity dollars is a bad idea.

I will say that, as a person who does actually think the optics of violence are bad, the GOP is fucking terrible at it
