Is there something like a quarterly summary of news somewhere? A lot of what’s happening online now just feels like all kinds of trolls. If there were a way to check in very occasionally, that might be better.

Again I must repeat that linguists are not kidding when we say that your knowledge of the systems of language enables you to understand sentences that have never before been uttered

Surely nobody outside Holywood and shills trying to sell creative writing seminars still believe Joseph 'confirmation bias' Campbell. It's pure, cyclotron-derived bullshit.

"...his desire to make it apply to as many stories as possible leads him to use extremely vague and imprecise language and, as a result, much of what he says about the supposed stages of the hero’s journey is essentially meaningless." talesoftimesforgotte...

These plush #pastels, this faint reflection of a life. How we skim along the surface and play such cruel and subtle games as children never dream of. The howls we hide inside, our claws sheathed from mere politeness and fear of rendings that cannot be sutured. What pale creatures we are. #whistpr

If so, there will be massive civil disobedience. If people have forgotten how New Yorkers were felled in the spring and summer of 2020, you could print life-size photos of the refrigerator trucks parked outside the NYC Morgue not far from my apartment. (R.I.P. my buddy Tarlach M.)
