Excellent anthology - with some great Irish stories included.
Here is my Personal Anthology of twelve short stories, including Bruce calling from Mulholland, a daughter leaving for Rhodesia, a washed-up hack in Hollywood (by a washed-up hack in Hollywood) and a story from the Dubliners of 20C Jewish-American life. Ta @jonathangibbs.bsky.social for asking me.
A Personal Anthology, by John Self
At first I thought of choosing the shortest stories I could, and some of those remain in the list below, but in the end I broadened my thinking as some stories kept pushing their way in.

Have another drink of Green Elixir and we'll have ourselves a little mixer on Bar Cart Bookshelf! Today we're talking about WICKED by Gregory Maguire. A prickly meditation on the nature of evil, this modern classic remains immensely rewarding & a true favorite reread. A long awaited cocktail treat!

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Board Bill 83 is on today’s BOA agenda (“perfection consent”).

#BOAbb83 diverts half the sales tax revenue to reimburse new tenant at renovated Carriage House.
The second half of sales tax revenue is captured by the #CortexTIF

Not a dime in sales tax will be go to City coffers.
Should the City of St. Louis reimburse Corporate Interiors, Inc. up to $1 M for the #3942Laclede project in the #CortexTIF?

Testify on #BOAbb83 at the 10/21 #HUDZ hearing.
Info in ALT

Allocation of sales tax revenue:
50% captured by the TIF
50% reimbursement to CI Inc ($1 M max)
0% to city coffers

This week's Onion issue from 20 years ago contains one of my all-time favorite headlines: "Fritolaysia Cuts Off Chiplomatic Relations With Snakistan."

I love all the wordplay: "rufflelutionaries," "cheesekeeping forces," "funyunmentalists," and more.

One thing I leaned as a congressional staffer is that 75% of Congressmen are pretty much perpetually drunk. Just absolutely stupefying levels of rampant alcoholism. They fucking reek of booze, every day, all hours of the day.

The color of the year is no color. Honestly, fitting
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

one big issue with america is the number of people who think that focusing their life on accumulating money is "not political"
"Men need to spend money to get laid!"
