“Wemby” lol
parallel with the Knicks' extraordinary penchant for magically rallying, coming-up-from-behind to triumph at virtually the last minute was the weirdly fascinating drama of "Wemby" on the court distinctive not only by his height but the thinness of his body which appeared, beside his teammates, almost pre-pubescent, lacking maturity. no matter where you looked, there was always "Wemby" charging about anticipating an opening to shove, push someone with a solid adult body with a baby-faced look of insouciance: "Who? Me? I' m just a kid."

I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School

I like guys whose author bio is like: "Iowa Writers Workshop, Stegner Fellow, Guggenheim recipient, but the most important thing about me is that I worked for eighteen months as a longshoreman"

I restarted my Substack IN THE ABSENCE OF, mostly about writing craft. The first one is about how frighteningly good AI has gotten at producing competent litfic, and what kind of writing it will never be able to (re)produce

This essay combines lots of things I hate, including making up elitist stuff to be mad at, and insincere pandering to working class taste. Drinking 8% beer is not fancypants elitism, it is the drink of choice of bored dads trying to tune out their families. Also, it's "antidote"

I mean this guy is probably fine, but this essay is broadly speaking in the same genre of contrarian brainrot as conservatives owning libs by only eating raw beef until they give themselves bovine spongiform encephalopathy

I'm all for writers unashamedly and vocally using AI, because there are too many writers already, and this conveniently allows me to ignore someone from that point forward

Feels crazy to say, but I’m rereading Mrs. Dalloway, and this genuinely might be my favorite paragraph OAT. It find it extraordinarily moving

In general, I don't think there's another novel that comes close to MD in terms of giving a reader the intimate mental landscape of its main character. It is so thoroughly and intensely focalized through Clarissa's POV that the reader begins to anticipate her reactions to things

I mean newsflash Virginia Woolf was good, but sometimes it's still shocking *how good* — 50 pages in, Mrs. Dalloway has stunned me many times already

The funniest thing that regularly happens on twitter is when a guy has a passing bad opinion about something, gets called on being wrong, and digs in for hours trying to defend something he doesn't know or care about. There are like 50 examples of this phenomenon in these replies
something about poetry in particular gives troglodytes and philistines the feeling they can pass judgement about something over which they know absolutely nothing about, it’s strange. hit the books
