Famous clairvoyante[...] with a wicked pack of cards. Reasonably erudite, I guess. (Expect to find: books, dogs [mine, specifically], movies, New York, sports, transit takes)

I’m glad time has vindicated Sebulba. Everyone was so cruel to him because he “tried to kill a child” during the Boonta Eve Classic even though he was literally Darth Vader

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

Still kind of inconceivable how many people died or will die because of the death of USAID. And the world’s richest man did it almost as a joke

The characterization of literary fiction as "I'm middle aged and having an affair while staring down my own dick" doesn't capture the SCOPE of the genre but it's not untrue (although imo Bad MFA Novel is a bigger pox on the genre)

Hwæt language were they speaking in the 16th century

I'm sorry, what? Shakespeare didn't write the play in Olde English. And Shakespeare didn't set the play in a time or place where the characters would've spoken Olde English. Eggers is free to make his choice, but how does this show "meticulous attention to detail"? It shows the opposite?
