Patterson Park today

A duck makes its way out of a pond at Patterson Park and ambles over to where Thom and I were talking. It didn’t seem interested in joining us for a selfie.

His interviews are generally magical, and I’d buy a book of them.

Some extra notes on the late Kaleb Horton, plus a dive into Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ conflicting visions of who their journalism is for.

mattdpearce.substack.com/p/the-measur...

It bothers me there isn't an independently reported obituary yet, some kind of arm's-length acknowledgement of this life and its conclusion. The death was already deeply painful for those who knew Kaleb, his family, his loved ones; the survivors have assembled some small literary pyres to push back the void. But as a fellow writer, when I think about the idea of a talent passing unrecognized by our culture's remembering machines, I see something that scares me. Here there once lived a man who awaits the stranger's appraisal.

RJC @voguingtodanzig.bsky.social · 2d

I know it seems like I’m being sarcastic, but you know what?

A lot of this material probably isn’t great, but people I assume created this with some intention and seriousness during a period that probably felt like a gold rush

Some of it is probably pretty solid! Some of it must be worth words
