@franzsherbert Wtf this story about the enduring primal savagery of man is so primal and basic

If you're thinking stuff like "Maslow's hierarchy" while reading a novel you're ngmi. Also yes, of course Blood Meridian is overstylized and overwrought. That's the whole charm of the book
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

The American habit of constantly voting for idiots should be a serious cause for introspection. Unfortunately, it's probably our national lack of meaningful introspection to blame

"Just want to write to my Mom & tell her that I’m witnessing this chronic, insidious genocide & I’m really scared, and questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of human nature. This has to stop."

I don’t think enough people are ready for the “Nothing Happens” scenario

I called like a dozen different sources, wrote a draft, pitched it to a mag who asked for a substantial rewrite, then finally sold it for like $300 recently. There is zero way to make a living as a straight-up writer; it’s teaching, research, speaking, or bust

Breece D’J Pancake, having never published a word before, sold Trilobites to The Atlantic for $450 in 1977. Inflation calculator claims that’s abt $2,500 today
Jared Henderson@jhendersonYT
At a writers’ group, an older journalist mentioned that she used to write an article for $2,000 and live off of that (this was probably in the 70s-80s). She asked some freelancers what they make now, and she could not believe that the rates had stayed static or gone down.

Yeah he leaked that Israel made the US join lol
Political Polls@PpollingNumbers
News - Joe Kent is under investigation by the FBI for leaking classified information. Kent resigned as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center on Tuesday over the Iran War.

You look at a lot of great writers like, “Damn, how do they write like that?” They don’t. They edit like that
Art of Darkness@artofdarkpod
Writing advice: A typical education will expose you to the greatest masterpieces of all time, collaborations between genius authors and editors, final products of a dozen revisions and editions. Nobody spits a perfect text off the dome. Look at drafts and juvenilia and go easy.

It’s important to remember rn that a ton of expensive, heavily pushed tech initiatives went belly up without impacting much of anything. That will happen again

Meta is shutting down its VR metaverse on June 15th.

Being a serf or an impoverished farmer sucked, but the most widespread fantasy among immigrant workers was "Get a job, save money, come home, buy land." People weren't like Holy shit, I love seeing my buddies boiled to death by molten steel once a week.

It’s so easy to make compelling arguments when you just straight-up lie

your great-great grandparents rocked up to cities that looked like this to work 14-hour shifts in dangerous factories and thought “oh thank fuck we don’t have to farm anymore”

@DerekPutin I used to get a few beers and some vodka and read Finnegans Wake until I no longer felt like it. It was fun

Your argument: "Don't read anything after Chapterhouse: Dune"
My argument: "Don't read anything after Dune (unless you really want to read God-Emperor)"
PS@dostoevesque
There are six books by Frank Herbert. Dune Dune Messiah Children of Dune God Emperor of Dune Heretics of Dune Chapterhouse Dune Do not read anything after that.

Ooh look at me I can’t read Kant or Anscombe ooh look at me go
Philippe-Antoine Hoyeck@PAHoyeck
Does anybody have a good theory for why we're still doing philosophy even though Hume solved it nearly three hundred years ago?
English
@bookruledouble I’m just confused by this take. If you’re open to a “let’s see how he does” approach, why bother with the 27-year-old with a mid-to-bad profile across nearly 1,000 MLB PA over the 19-year-old with a sky-high ceiling?
English
Unpopular opinion here. I love Connor Griffin. I think he is the future and I would love for the Pirates to to extend him. All that said, he is hitting .206 in spring training with a 30% strikeout rate and zero walks. I would start him off in Indy and see what Nicky two bags does
