Do it! It's a wonderful book. Convinced me to pick up 3 other Pynchon novels and really get into it. And if you're still not convinced, or if you want to hear more about it, check out this podcast episode, "Thomas Pynchon and the American Reconquista."After years' absence, persecution by all the predictable authorities, several instances of thoroughly unelective plastic surgery, and a set of geographical switchbacks that would leave you physically allergic to the sight of a straight line, DEATH IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER triumphantly returns with Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice, the "counterculture" as a recco map to its own streamlined reconquest, and the same old evil agencies just biding their time, returning on a scale even they wouldn't have dared dream of when they had to take their last little planned pause.
I'm so upset by the name Niceferatu. Mostly because I did not think of it myself. This sounds nice though!! Makes me wanna make some music too. The one thing I might suggest is chopping up a bit of the static from the Nina interview and putting it under the instrumental between the two samples-- the transition on both ends is a bit abrupt otherwise. (Check out, for example/comparison, how Saba & Phoelix handle the same sample on this Noname track, starting around 1:35). PS Am I hearing shades of Shigeto?
Same to both of those things!
That seems like the proper response to every institution with the audacity to still call itself the Royal Academy of something :D
Vaguely related and both amusing and interesting:
I've been using Huel for like 6 months now and I find that twice a day is my max for meal replacements before I start really wanting real food, but I imagine that's different for everyone. Sounds like your max might be 0 meal replacements :/ The one thing I can recommend if you're trying to balance real food and replacement is something like Huel Hot & Savoury, which is almost like a chili instead of just a smoothie. I find it's a pretty decent middle ground for "quick and nutritionally complete but still feels like real food". There are some days that I just have 3 smoothies and 1-2 bowls of Hot & Savoury.
Hello! I am still alive! Gonna post in Pubski in a bit, come say hi! Missed y'all too.
Einverstanden.
The fucking audacity of these people. My lord.According to three sources with knowledge of the timeline, party leadership talked to the college group three weeks ago and then referred them to Roosevelt for assistance. The exact nature of that help, however, is a matter of some contention — details that could be illuminated by the forthcoming investigation. Bickford, according to Politico, said that the investigation would not begin until after the September 1 primary, so as not to influence the result.
It's so damn good.
me too please!
Genuine question: what's the difference between Bernie theoretically saying "a woman can't win in 2020" and my sister, a Warren supporter, saying "it's much more difficult for a woman to get elected than a man"? Take the latter statement, add the fact that winning in 2020 will be difficult for any Democrat, and the logical conclusion is "it would be incredibly difficult (impossible?) for a woman to win in 2020." See the Vox article I linked above.I do think that believing that a woman cannot win the Presidency is both a character flaw and misguided political judgement.
Does Biden have numerous sexual harassment allegations against him?
And the electoral landscape has changed dramatically in 4 years. The claim "a woman cannot win in 2020" is a misguided political judgement. It's not a statement of value.I'd say that the main difference is between 'difficult' and 'cannot'. Hillary won the popular vote, and lost the electoral vote by narrow margins (10k in MI).
Not to diminish the complaints, or excuse his actions, but I don't think a journalist would say that Biden has numerous sexual harassment allegations against him. One can say that Trump has numerous sexual harassment allegations against him. How do we draw a difference?
Interesting. When I clicked on a link at work earlier it directed to that page. Firefox running on Windows 7 without major add-ons; can give version information tomorrow if that helps. Right now on Chrome 80 (OSX) it's working just fine.
I'll be there if I manage to stay awake that long.
And if you're in the mood to cry:
I'm so proud of you, father/son/best friend/husband :) Enjoy TAoF! Edit: Hey! 20% of the last one was coded by a not-stoned radio DJ!unlike the last project I had to do on WordPress this one wasn’t first coded by a stoned radio DJ
So goddamn happy for you, Q. At the risk of getting sentimental: what an honor to have been around for so much of your journey, and to watch (or at least read about) you finding your wings. Lots of love :) Keep us posted on haircut/piercings/therapy!!
Think of it this way: the more people of all stripes introduce themselves with their pronouns, the less queer* people expose themselves to bigotry and hatred simply by virtue of asking others to use their preferred pronouns.
Oh man, why didn't you tell me?? We can write each other letters! And give each other book recommendations! And share essays and poetry and silly stories! Easy way out: text me and let's exchange writing / reading recommendations Fun way out: Hubski writer's club?
Welcome to Hubski! Love the piece, really appreciate the work you put into it--your rigor in the face of Walker's wishy washy research is admirable.
I initially read "ghastly fascism." I'm not sure if this is better.
to count all the mistakes that I've made and every time I close my eyes I just believe it'll all be better when I open them again… someday the color will be back someday you'll be healthy again someday flowers will grow out of the emptiness I really believe that but I can't say that I'm sureevery night when I lay in bed, ghosts come to me
No no, it's a couples costume! One partner is the Meat Belt and the other is Lady Gaga ;)
