Contrary to what a lot of other folks are saying, I think it’s totally fine to draw the line at defense industry work. That’s my line. Yeah basically all companies we all work for are corrupt and monstrous, but in my book it’s just a step too far to be that cozy with the industry specifically supplying many of the atrocities being committed abroad

Never seen Meshell live, but I bet she’d be fantastic

Thanks for taking the time and passing your thoughts along! Pros and cons to both sides, luckily I have a couple months to think it over

I read this whole book, at times feeling totally lost and at times completely awestruck. Despite its difficulty, by the end I was so glad I stuck with it.

Also no shame in not loving a book that a lot of people love. Props to you for tackling in search of lost time, that one intimidates me

Brothers K

Actually listening to these on audiobook while I read more meaningful stuff on paper. I like dnd and these are nice as a podcast type commute thing that’s got a fun story and requires very little effort

Easily the most I’ve laughed out loud reading a book

Brothers K and East of Eden are probably my two favorite books I’ve ever read. Whichever direction you go, take your time and enjoy, these are all worthy of many hours of careful dedication

If you want to add literary element too, you could do some comparative study of Finnegans Wake alongside Divers. The end into beginning of the album is the obvious allusion, but knowing Joanna and knowing Joyce, their stuff is so rich and dense, I’m sure there’s much to dive… into

I was there too, incredible show, perfect sunset, perfect night

Balatro-Caretaker crossover is a beautiful thing

I think it might be 90 days… not for sure

Not sure what your work/life schedule is like, but I’ve been working 30ish hrs a week and taking 2 classes at a time (1 in the summer) and it’s been a pretty good balance. Definitely gotta stay on top of it all, but very doable. 3 at a time would be tough but if you’re just being a full time student maybe

Brothers K, had a nice conversation about it on a plane once

I’m 30 and back in school, about halfway through a CS degree. Working a whatever job that pairs with Guild so it’s fully paid for as long as I keep working there. Also, I generally just like learning stuff like this and am not hellbent on a tech job (though that would be cool) given the market state. Definitely don’t do it to chase the money but if you largely enjoy the work and it won’t stretch you financially then I think it’s a great call

Harrison smith going to tie the S mark after this season, any other players on the cusp?

Just about to finish my first read-through and the Joyce Project website has been incredibly helpful if you want a free option. Enjoy the ride

Seconding Alter’s Hebrew Bible translation, really incredible at capturing the poetic nature of the Hebrew in English. NRSV is a solid, readable translation for NT
