Reading an essay published in 2016 that describes another essay from the late 1990s as being published “near the end of the culture wars,” and, friends, I don’t know if I can recover from this blow.

The news: Pope Francis was buried in a simple wooden coffin. Me, a woodworker: Wow, look at those beautiful dovetails. Those boards had to be paneled together, too. And how did they do inlay of that size and detail on the lid? Veneer marquetry? Exquisite. (Image credit: Gregorio Borgia/AP)

Trump’s English isn’t very good, so I can’t imagine that they got very much accomplished.

I’m working from home today for various reasons, and there is a very noisy van parked next door cleaning my neighbor’s carpets. It’s worse than lawn care equipment.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

I have a more developed take on this brewing. But it will end the same as many of my other takes, which is “capitalism sucks.”

One of my articles appears in LibGen. This is a serious ethical problem because I, like many lit scholars, was not paid anything for the publication of my article. And Meta is training its AI on it without my consent and with an eye toward profit.

We don’t need manufacturing jobs back in the US. We need union jobs with strong worker protections back in the US.

I heard this interview this morning. It was a great example of how the actions of this administration do not hold up to the slightest scrutiny. These things take time, and it’s cold comfort for Khalil and his family right now. But we will win the long game.

It’s all about fealty, ring kissing, and ass kissing. Act like you are grateful that we are now asking you to pay back support we never said was a loan. What have we become?

So it’s clear to everyone now that Apartheid Clyde wants our data to train some AI model that he will use to enrich himself further, right? Right?
