as a fun project I’m going to try to typeset, print, and bind a copy of The Sound & the Fury using colored inks in the first section to denote all the shifts in time, as Faulkner intended, based on margin notes I made in my paperback from the mid- to late ‘90s. Nik goes: “so you miss using Quark?”

Faulkner’s books sold something like 10,000 copies in his lifetime. An iPhone video I stitched together last night has been seen 129,000 times in less than a day. It is likely the most popular thing I have ever done, or will do. What is this world

I talked with the owner of the new Silver Stone Castle in Swansea — and it’s not only an arcade or party space but the start of what could be a Great Wolf Lodge-style family resort, the biggest attraction in town since the mall. Look inside! www.heraldnews.com/story/entert...

Jesus that’s dire… every time I think Facebook can’t get worse it bottoms out even more. The full question in the post I shared was asking the name of the ship in Moby-Dick. It’s not even a proper nostalgia post. The Pequod wasn’t a real ship. If it was, nobody alive today could be nostalgic for it
