The way the press circled the wagons over Olivia Nuzzi should have prepared me for this but somehow my expectations are still not low enough.

today's small prose poem from Maureen Thorson is a marvel, but that first sentence — "It’s nearly Christmas." — just about gave me a panic attack.

I think it's really bad for our souls to just have these monstrous crimes as the white noise of our era, like a clip from Woodstock to establish something takes place in the 60s
Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

Catching up with season one episodes we didn’t know existed we saw the one last night with the English professor with dementia repeating a line from a poem everybody knows, not the line everybody knows, but a much better one as it turns out. It made me love the poem, which wasn’t how I felt before.
Listen, St Denis Medical is funny

How we judge others is how we ourselves are judged, I’m told.
I’m told this mainly by people I judge a little harshly when I’m not giving the matter my full attention.

Interesting email here from Elisa New, Harvard professor and wife to Larry Summers, to Epstein, reflecting on Lolita.
"...it's about a man whose life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl."

The feds under Trump are doing "Black Helicopter" shit at a rate that exceeds the wildest fever dreams of the paranoid right wingers of the Tea Party era. We've got dozens of Ruby Ridges every day, and the body count will likely soon approach Waco. And most of Trump's victims did no crimes.

The only post I see here so far to note that the phonetic inventory of Hawaiian comes to ~15 sounds
And 4 vowels: /ɛ/,/i/,/ɪ/, and /ə/
Now, the phonetic inventory (all the sounds belonging to the language) of English (~55 sounds) is about 4 times greater than that of Hawaiian (~15 sounds), so there are some sounds in English that Hawaiian doesn’t have. 2/?

I was thinking I was having a shitload of bad feelings so I wrote a list of situations/events that prompted the thought and actually I was having a shitload of feelings, some of which are objectively bad but most of which are just uncertain and intense
