A classic sign

Thrilling to see the chalk pounce pattern on the Earl Carroll, showing where the restored neon portrait of Beryl Wallace will go. When this iconic Hollywood sign is turned back on, we hope it's the start of a new golden age of neon, heritage and cultural revival.

Can't wait to go over to my folks in a couple hours and be asked what I'm working on and saying "Oh a little essay on the fundamental hollowness at the center of capitalist materialist reality called the Devoid, not my term but a perfect one."

People run right-wing outrage accounts because they're zero-effort, dead easy to make content for and pure profit centers. This ain't hard. Why do folks talk about this like some great mystery?

One of the things I love about even dipping a little toe into ancient history is how much humans loved to travel and trade and resettle when things get bad. Nations and borders are these totally imaginary things, that conservatives love to worship for some reason, but just not real by themselves.

Is there even a McDonald's that's open at 2am any more?

Something something content and the Devoid and I should probably be locked up.

But I'm not wrong.

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long"
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
