In other news the track right before it on the EP is one of my all-time fav tracks. They’re a cool band.

tfw you've always know helen mirren as an older (gorgeous, obvi) actress and then someone informs you "hey you know she used to also be a younger (gorgeous and also occasionally naked) actress"

One of the points the Katherine Stewart book I just read made is around just how weirdly open-tent the other side has been and not to be dumb and trite but "i'm thinking about that a lot right now"

I've been reading The Hobbit to my kids at night and I didn't know if or how well it was going to go over but my 4th grader's doing a whole dang book report slide show about it and at least this is something nice in the world.

Still, I just had to do a letter to my kid’s class about my kid. I had to print it, so I popped open LibreOffice, and did it up, and damn it to hell if there isn’t some sense memory going on when I’m looking at a real word processor interface.
Like, yeah…this is where the words that *matter* go.

Like it’s been a couple years, I think, since my most recent published book review. It’s been a lifetime since I was doing fiction all the time and getting absolutely nowhere with it.
As much as I know I say or think I’d like to go back and try again, more, I know the daily routine is against me.

I mean I'm sure the 500 Club will still be a perpetually raging case of social and political hemorrhoids; they'll never have less than $500 million to play about with. But maybe at least they'd go take their boredom off to a cage match island instead of cutting up the entire social fabric around us.

Just looking at the top five billionaires right now we'd have about 1,217.3 billion dollars in immediate one-time tax revenue that we could probably put toward something of actual value, I dunno, just envelop mathing here.

I’ll be collecting my thoughts and posting on the blog soon, but spoiler alert, hey, it’s a good and deeply bracing book and is worth reading.

Down-in-one-ing the last 70 pages or so of the book right before bedtime might not have been the best way to see myself off to dreamland.

“Fascism always looks promising for big money, but it always ends badly…. The study of history and political science exists for a reason, and it is in part to convey such simple and well-attested facts.” (P. 154)

Any time it happens I assume they read my first name, and assume I’m a lady, and immediately go into a well actually tunnel

I was raised the most milquetoast catholic and it’s still kind of like…what kernel of luck got me *here* instead of somewhere over *there*.

Like, starting to read more *books* about this stuff specifically (I am literally barely scratching the surface) is at least helpful to me from that mindset. Like reading full coherent arguments instead of a thousand disjointed posts is useful from a “making it real” standpoint.

I’ve been thinking about that sort of thing as I’m working through this book, about how I consume information right now and how I know whatever it is I know…

It’s true that these guys are so weird. They are so weird! But they’re radical and over-funded and strangely organized and focused and on the offensive and when and how do we match them on every front? (I know the conclusion of the book offers some ideas and hope but I’m not there yet.)
