I know it's not the point, but how does CSPAN still look like this?

Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Book packing list for the cruise: Leaving Home, Keillor (Easy read) A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, DFW (Moderate read) The Kingdom of God is Within You, Tolstoy (Challenging read) Giovanni's Room, Baldwin (travel read due to tiny hardcover) Howl and Other Poems, Ginsberg (Comfort read)

"...this will happen to everything that you love. Nothing you like will remain untouched, and it will get further and further monetized into meaninglessness. This isn't just our problem in our idiotic bloodsport - you're fucked too."

We need a George Lucas Megalopolis. Give me 3 hours and $200 million of him airing grievances and dictating political theory. A completely disconnected half hour section that's just a Jar Jar melodrama. Intergalactic creatures inexplicably driving chopped and slammed Ford Coupes. I wanna see it.

Hate to do a third post about DFW as my fourth skeet, but the whole "incentivizing federal workers to quit their jobs so agencies can be flooded with incel hatchet men" reminds me of the "you are called to account" spiel from The Pale King. It's still pretty true without the current context,

but it's weird to be in a situation where clocking in for a government desk job, day in day out, could very literally be considered heroism. You are helping save your country simply by being miserable, doing your work, and not letting a Musklet take your seat.

In light of recent events, I am left to conclude that this skeet was so bad that it made Nick Mullen quit TAFS. My apologies to those affected; I'm sorry all over the place.

Imagine, if you will, a version of Infinite Jest where everything is the same except The Entertainment is just an episode of Cumtown

I'm so mad at how good King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are because it makes me say things like "You should listen to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard." which is just a hard thing to swallow

You are up to date.
