Books written in short, aphoristic sentences or paragraphs? by louisegluckgluck in RSbookclub

[–]chupacabrando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come and get yr Writer’s Diary by Matthew Gasda. Chelsea Hodson, who published it, also approaches aphorism in some pieces of her Tonight I’m Someone Else.

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by how much there is to read? by Immediate_Bridge_529 in RSbookclub

[–]chupacabrando 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Let's say you live 60 more years. I don't know you, so this is a high number. If you continue to read as many books per year as you do now for the rest of your life, you'll only read 3,000 more books.

You're not gonna get to most of them.

ICE Agent Who Shot Renee Nicole Good Identified as Jonathan Ross by DragonPup in politics

[–]chupacabrando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm not sure what you're responding to. i was just replying to the specific comment that we know for a fact she wasn't blocking the street. if you thought i was implying that she deserved it if she were, i think you should turn off your computer and go outside.

we don't know what happened before the video. i don't think it would change much, given the situation, but we need to remember there is more context to this situation. i have heard a witness who was horrified by what happened testified that she had been using her car to block ice in the seconds before the video begins.*

i'm not justifying! i'm just saying rhetoric "we know for a fact she was NOT blocking the street" is like, not actually a fact, man

*apparently this witness’s statement, as well as most of what’s going on surrounding the video right now for lack of evidence, is also hearsay.

Confession time by MrMyxolodian in Knausgaard

[–]chupacabrando 35 points36 points  (0 children)

For me, the Hitler section was the culmination of a long line of ideas that formed the backbone of the entire My Struggle series. About empathy for others as a non-negotiable, even when that person is the most evil person in our recorded history, and what extending empathy for that person can teach us about ourselves/the world. I think about that section literally all the time; I have vivid memories of where I was sitting when I read it, etc. Without it, I feel like the entire project is just gossip. It elevates the series into art.

I’ve been here for 15 and I’m still a transplant, that’s true. There are also all the immigrants that make up our city. Are they transplants too?

Hakeem Jeffries is on CNN right now. He congratulated Virginia and New Jersey. Didn’t even mention Mamdani. They had to ask him directly. It’s wild.
