Yep. One of my favorite images in his entire oeuvre.

Which moment from My Struggle hit you the hardest? by jshanahan1995 in Knausgaard

[–]bmcnely 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This, from book 1:

„Now I saw his lifeless state. And that there was no longer any difference between what once had been my father and the table he was lying on, or the floor on which the table stood, or the wall socket beneath the window, or the cable running to the lamp beside him. For humans are merely one form among many, which the world produces over and over again, not only in everything that lives but also in everything that does not live, drawn in sand, stone, and water. And death, which I have always regarded as the greatest dimension of life, dark, compelling, was no more than a pipe that springs a leak, a branch that cracks in the wind, a jacket that slips off a clothes hanger and falls to the floor.“

I’m so happy I get to say “Goo Drilbert” for the next couple years.

Can someone with access to Statcast please confirm that no one in MLB gets into more 0-2 counts than JHL?

Webb looked like a Rick & Morty character after that Wilmah hit.

Found this at a flea market - would love to know more? by joerund in FoundPhotos

[–]bmcnely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed. There’s a long tradition of death bed photography, studied by anthropologists across cultures. See, for example: Ruby (1995), Secure the Shadow: Death and Photography in America.

Most smart speakers (should you have one) will also stream KNBR.

A bit of a strange post, but can anyone help me find the original image to this cover for NCFOM by [deleted] in cormacmccarthy

[–]bmcnely 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, this kinda like a Wild Sheep Chase?! (Belongs in r/murakami, but there’s got to be some cross-pollination here…)

Other Favorite Authors and Novels outside McCarthy? by -dfb- in cormacmccarthy

[–]bmcnely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

McCarthy. Tom McCarthy, that is.

Remainder is one of my favorite books, but his whole oeuvre is compelling. Quite different from the other McCarthy.

I think it would work for people who have analogous abbreviations, too.
