“What is most exceptional about the Americans is not the voluminous record of their violence but their extraordinary ability in the face of that record to persuade themselves that they are among the best behaved and best regulated of peoples.” - Richard Hofstadter, American Violence, 1970 🗃️

Felt absolutely abyssal earlier but I mainlined three episodes of The Bear and now I feel better... though I wish I had the cash the spoons to go fancy dining

Choosing the author of The Dying Earth as Trump's VP is a bit on the nose.

Bloody weather... finally cracked and got the big duvet out.

The Tories have pretty much sold off most of the NHS already, may as well go all the way.

Not saying facebook has lost it but it recommended something to me recently that I'd posted in the first place.

Rewatching first series of House of the Dragon, I'd forgotten how grim it is. Also seen the first two eps of the new series of The Bear - I see they've now gone all in on the 'not much plot, just vibes' thing

I have been working on a story about carbon capture for like three months because I keep thinking "it cannot possibly be THIS much of an absolute shit show" and figuring I must be missing something or misunderstanding something and then every new expert I talk to tells me it's even worse
