I've been getting flattering emails describing my work, written by AI, for some nefarious scheme. Years ago, I wrote an intro to Chekov's The Duel. Here's the opening line today: "Dear Anton Chekhov, I recently came across The Duel and wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on your work."
True that.

Christopher Nolan's paucity of ideas and commitment to cliches is concealed by the spectacle and the propagation of the heroic status of the director, speaking for "civilization." He is the Cecil B. DeMille of today, except the empire is going down in flames.
If your social experiment lasts for 250 years and results in Trump, maybe you should shut down the fucking lab and release the rats from the maze of your bullshit.
The MAGA tactical approach has always been intensification of conflict. They believe in power, hate & violence. They also know that the Dems centrist proceduralism, embodied by Schumer and Jeffries, has no conceptual/moral ability to formulate an answer. The midterms will be another intensification.
The victory of the 🇪🇸 midfielders. And a reason to re-read @sashahemon.bsky.social beautiful essay about that moment of transcendence “when all your teammates occupy the ideal position on the field.” (And, via soccer, about so much more: immigrants, rain, connection to the world bigger than us.)

It is hard to write anything of substance if one inescapably assumes that what you might spend years thinking through and constructing will sink to the bottom of a sea of nonsense, where it will be scraped by the PsychoAI or some such thing.
Jasmin Mujanović@jasminmuj.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt seems like there are ever greater reasons to write, and an ever diminishing reading public. A greater need for patience and deliberation, but only the appetite for furious cacophonies. And everywhere little princelings ruling over shattered, empty lands.
Most of all, Lindsey Graham should be remembered as a passionate defender of rapists.

MALI ŽIVOTOPISI | Semezdin Mehmedinović: Pčele Aleksandra Hemona
Prošle sedmice, u Tuzli, u posjetu mi je došao prijatelj. Aleksandar Hemon. Sjedili smo u Gradskoj kafani i razgovarali, uglavnom o književnosti. Ali moje prvo pitanje njemu bilo je: "Nedostaje li ti ...

Trump is on the phone with Infantino, insisting that Belgium does not exist, so that the US won the game by virtue of the absence of Belgian existence. You gotta believe, America!
The US Womens Soccer Team aren't whiny little bitches who cry about having to sit out a game after getting red carded. I guess that's why they've won four FIFA World Cups and the US men have never won one.
It's quite poignant to see Ronaldo straining to release a tear at the end of his last game in a Portugal shirt, but cannot, what with Botox and all.
Not that there was ever a chance of my supporting the US team, but this seals it in perpetuity. Vive la Belgique!
Ben Jacobs@jacobsben.bsky.social · 3mo ago🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.
Yet another great day in America for checks and balances. Not to worry, Chuck Schumer has a plan.

There was a time when all that love made sense. / And yet, we are back home now, reproducing / clichés, reshaping the ancient mistakes, / blending snot with tears to repaint the stairs. Read "The Spies" (Issue 31) by Aleksandar Hemon below.
The Spies
ALEKSANDAR HEMON <br> I’ve learned that a small amount of painkill / blooms into a heartbreak, just as the moon / sinks in the ocean, smears and dissolves, / depleted by the longest of hopeful nights.

Always had a thing about spies. A poem in The Common.
