I think about this a lot bc it’s a choice that matters when you recite poetry. I don’t treat line breaks as pauses unless they naturally feel like pauses, either because of the cadence of the poem or for the sake of a rhyme scheme or something similar.
whenever someone talks about line breaks online someone always shows up and says something like LINE BREAKS ARE ONLY THERE FOR BREATHS and I just can't imagine saying you love poetry while hating it so much

The "He Gets Us" superbowl ad was Nietzsche's transvaluation of values as a video montage.
It's like it's saying, "Everything people enjoy in life is actually morally tainted and inadequate when compared to [absent thing] which is simultaneously the source and the negation of all other enjoyment."

Is there more to life than more?

something i'm observing: the robots are still really bad prose stylists. they can write highly structure technical documents well, but anything involving authorial voice or progressive disclosure is really ham handed.

The MAGA new right “seems to be betting that the American polity has a deep reserve of untapped nativist rage”—but may also be “underestimating the everyday decency and patriotism of the American public,” Laura K. Field argues:
The Intellectual Edgelords of the GOP
The mainstreaming of transgressive ideas is the culmination of a yearslong conservative project.

it’s a big part of why i became catholic, and why after becoming catholic i moved further and further right.
"All right-wing men are secretly gay" is hack and an oversimplification but it's pretty clear a lot of right-wing influencers (Benny Johnson, Crowder, etc.) viewed conservative politics as a twelve-step program for their attraction to men
An explosive sex scandal has rocked the “trad” online right.
I break it all down in my latest False Flag newsletter for @thebulwark.com. www.thebulwark.com/p/shocking-s...

Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment
In the last two weeks he's put his name on the Kennedy Centre, pushed "Trump accounts" for every kid and just announced a new Golden Fleet of Trump Battleships. And we're still in the first year of his term! This time next year, will the date be Trumpday the 23rd of Trump, twenty-twenty-trump?
This is some straight-up monarchy shit. Naming buildings after himself while he's alive, making his birthday a national holiday....

i remember trying to understand that deep queasy feeling i got in my stomach when i walked through the underwear section or saw a bowflex infomercial or a muscle magazine.
But the A&F quarterly boys sealed the deal.
