there was a lucie brock-broido poem in the new yorker this week
OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE BUT BY ME What is it I will have left when I leave, little but the milkweed silk, My inky fetishes, my spirit-papers and my urns, like the simpler Despot in Atghanistan— whose only leavings were a small herd Of mostly still unrusted Land Rovers with linen songbooks holding All Islamic hymns and some antique Americana (Judy Garland, Andy Williams, Bing), And just a few blond-gold effigies of self, in the gnarled garden Where he had spent endless hours petting his favorite cow. The half-life of neptunium is 2.1 million years. My moment Is over-the most velvet of the annuals live far less than a year. Regarding loss: I had been its isotope From the youngest age. Not momentous, Just the small bunkers of a child's lack of long-term memory And its greenest lengths of moss. A pet green turtle expired after The long hot summer of my own short-term amnesia, the drought Of my forgetting to water him while I was away riding spotted ponies In the South. Every memory is a death, even the sweet ones: Whatever rabbit eating parsley in the photograph (I was a-beam with joy) in our unkempt yard-where mint grew Tall and accidentally-is gone. But at a certain moment in the middle of the summer dark Standing on the porch in the dotted Swiss of night, if you watch Almost microscopically, you can perceive the orange daylilies then Begin to grow back after death before your eyes. In my opinion, I am not scheduled yet to go, Not anywhere, just now. —Lucie Brock-Broido (1956-2018)

A week and a half ago the Thunder were on pace for the best season in NBA history and now the Spurs are three games behind them in the loss column.

How did people in 1913 see the world? Scientists trained LLMs exclusively on pre-1913 texts—no Wikipedia, no 20/20. The model literally doesn't know of WWI. And it reflects spirit of the times without guardrails reflecting modern-day sensitivities.

This is a terrific research application of LLMs.

i wrote for flaming hydra about my sober-addict relationship to all the drug use in The Last Waltz
flaminghydra.com/issue-454/#t...
Ask a casual viewer for their favorite detail from The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese’s 1978 documentary about The Band’s final performance at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom, and they’ll likely respond with Neil Young’s infamous cocaine booger. When Young joins The Band onstage for a tearjerking performance of “Helpless,” there it is, a crusty white stowaway dangling from his nose so ostentatiously that no amount of editing was evidently able to remove it. The booger may be what first betrays him, but once you see that, you can’t help but notice Young’s jaw appears to be screwed on sideways, too; he simply cannot keep his teeth from grinding. From there it’s a short leap to noticing how much all these performers sweat, scrutinizing their uniformly saucer-sized pupils, and realizing that maybe Robbie Robertson doesn’t say insane shit like “the beginning of the beginning of the end of the beginning” unless he’s high. If you’re not careful, the specter of coke will haunt your entire experience of The Last Waltz. You’ll see it everywhere, and it will derange you, until the songs no longer make you cry because they’re making you feel cheated instead.

I agree: there’s a public health imperative to quickly expand the adoption of autonomous vehicles, which will save many lives. More than 39,000 Americans died in motor vehicle crashes yearly. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

I listed this 1970s Blue Bird bus coin bank in my shop yesterday and I just have to show it off to more people because it is very cute:

A 10" long plastic piggy bank in the shape of a white Blue Bird bus with blue tinted windows. It's pictured on a wooden table with some cigar boxes behind it.
