fortunately i have nothing to do today other than read about potential symbolism surrounding turtles

incredible

crassness of that aside i would like to know the latest with the turtle

wait til you see the follow up, a one sentence mailout from Monica Lewinsky just reading ‘no i didn’t’

honestly i think it is the best piece of writing she’s done but that is extremely relative

first of all, i *completely* believe that this is part of the standard early years italian education & second i am disappointed that neither of them have brought up that the inventor of the moka pot is buried in a giant (iconic 8 sided-)

i said it in defence of adam levine & by god i will say it in limited defence of rfk jr, not one person on this planet could tolerate their sexts being published. we are all contaminated in mind, body & spirit. if you told tolstoy you were getting in the tub he would answer ‘without me???’

Totally agreed on the humour too especially in children’s books.

absolutely - ‘nobody is too big to edit’ should be emblazoned above the doors of every single publishing house

just re-read they do things differently there and enough is too much already & they’re so funny & rich & respectful of the reader’s intelligence, & i just kept thinking ‘these would be rejected by adult publishers for being too complicated’ because fiction gets assessed like it’s screenwriting now

i just reckon: the response of the cultural bottleneck to ‘art needs to compete with phones’ could have been better, interesting, difficult work rather than ‘art must cede its ground to the phone, reproduce the scroll experience & not be affected if you take lots of breaks to look @ phone’

and yes sorry but i think it is self soothing to claim that all medical professionals are merely constrained by funding & other crises & are otherwise angels of skill and empathy who would otherwise be doing the absolute best possible for people giving birth & their babies

would you believe that no one at the playground wants to talk about rod dreher’s demonic incarnate theory of AI

correctly, it’s a hell of a vehicle

welcome back buddy

i am trying to lead a wholesome existence here

Not the point really but it really bothers me that this isn’t really a correct use of the word whopping

my favourite part of it is that referring to Leonardo as ‘Da Vinci’ is an unwitting signpost to the fact that you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about & as such makes you very much not a polymath. He couldn’t even programme the dick sucking machine correctly
