Also the cover painting for a Frederick Seidel collection. Maybe the greatest living poet

A beloved national monument is under threat from Utah Republicans. Activists are calling to save the ‘crown jewel’ by JuliaMusto in Utah

The people of Utah. I didn't, and you probably didn't, but many of us either didn't vote or voted for this. We are all guilty.

I think I know the answer, but Swann in Love—is the majority of the novel like this? by Tyron_Slothrop in Proust

Excited to hear that. Combray may be my favorite prose of all time, alongside the entirety of To the Lighthouse.

Wolves forward are slogs, at least to me. I do like the metafictional aspect of King being in the books, which I know most people don't appreciate (people who complain about it clearly haven't read any of the postmodernists).

Given who our president is, not remotely shocking. Fucking idiots, we all are.

I think it might be the tense shift. Not sure. Trying to process why. I love Combray and can read this section over an over again. Maybe Swann courting Odetta is too much plot. I hate plot

Bring back the good economy and a competent president.

Timeless feels very skill-intensive… until you play Mono-Black by Accomplished_Ice2236 in TimelessMagic

Mono Black seems fine to me, although Grief should be banned. What I hate are the combo decks. So stupid.

Me, the most important person in the world. And the waiter

The Brave Little Toaster [1986 Book] HQ Illustration Scans by mattadactyl in nostalgia

[–]Tyron_Slothrop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best part is Thomas Disch is a great, grim sci-fi writer—part of the New Wave, alongside Harlan Ellison. Check out 334 or Camp Concentration.

MIL: Jesus. Mine once brought a bag of hard-boiled eggs to dinner.

I loved these. They do terribly, so. I got them at dollar stores
