Bob Dylan’s The Man in Me is an all time classic. Fantastic man with some great songs, a lot better than that, Bob Vylan.

Don Draper in 2026: don’t call it a cameo, that cheapens it; it’s an assignation, an encounter. When Awkwafina and Paul Giamatti fist bump its two ships passing in the night, they cherish it all the more for the brevity. That’s the promise of America, that’s Candacecoin

john ashbery, "the seventies"

@hastifliche stone-cold eccentric

@chewingstraw He seems like a real character

Funny to discover that this guy D'Angour, who's done some nice work reconstructing Ancient Greek music, also suffers from severe internetogenic boomer encephalopathy. highly erudite in a very narrow domain but otherwise cognitively submammalian

We’re within inches of the perfect distance from the sun.

Me: *snickering with my other leftist friend* Our right wing friend: Haha, what's so funny? Me: Just woke stuff, you wouldn't get it

@elengelich empty of visitors and crazily overstaffed. you’re coaxed along this one-way system through every room in this sprawling palace complex, mostly made of cavernous crumbly rooms split by temporary walls and staircases. no rhyme or reason to the sequence of exhibits. it’s eerie.

@elengelich that the Farnese in Parma? I think it’s one of the strangest galleries I’ve ever visited
