was fighting for my life

Katie Heindl @wtevs.bsky.social · 6d

dusty caravaggios in tiny churches, how languid you can draw out a ciao and how beautiful buona notte is to say as it is a wish for somebody, the colosseum just there, the god clouds, the eye watering depth of the sky’s blue, how heartbreaking to know you’ll never know enough about it. i love rome

i love rome. love romans bundled in their puffer coats in september eating gelato, nuns in the golden hour in armani shades. the jagged cartoony stone pines, the plane trees lining the tiber. i love the tiber. women dressed perfectly, kids and their dueling footy matches in the piazza, green parrots

but for real try to conjure up a woman or black head coach saying they spend hours and hours using chat gpt, full stop. then think of the lifetime’s worth of scorn and glee they’d get at first error, big or small

i don’t put a lot of faith in the daily but a cursory scroll through the last few days and it’s like a real time, though still disbelieving, narration of the US’s descent into an absurdist techno authoritarian state

me: so you say you respect everything james harden has done in his career?

chotiner: i think so, yes

chotiner: wait a minute
