Dead-eyed Fetterman at La Guardia. Carhartted up.

Flight book, Evenings & Weekends by Oisín McKenna. Headphones on. Xanax in. Let's go.

started The Furrows by Namwali Serpell, and realizing the repeated line, "I don't want to tell you what happened. I want to tell you how it felt" is exactly how you have to experience it.

I've made a grave error. Took a gummy while hanging around my mom and 2 of my siblings, etc (sharing a beach house until tomorrow morning). I'm on Day 3, and this is when things go south.

"Many writers need an inciting obstruction. For Henry James, it was his own sexuality. For Nabokov, it was a homeland to which he could never return. For Barry, it has been a family secret that it was not his place to speak of." Giles Harvey for @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/m...

would love a Brewers vs White Sox World Series

First season of It's Always Sunny where I've thought it's time to call it.

The Pirates have won 80 games. First time since 2018. Now I want 82.

Book Review: ‘Said the Dead,’ by Doireann Ni Ghriofa

Skunk sleeping in trash can on Bard College campus (friend sent)

Today we must remember the victims of the war on terror with as much compassion as we remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks, writes @attackerman.bsky.social

Today We Must Finally Remember What The 9/11 Commemorations Ignore

Righteous victimhood fueled the War on Terror. 25 years later, we also have to remember all of those slain under its banner

This Is Lorelei, the solo project of Nate Amos, makes music that both embraces and lampoons dusty singer-songwriter tropes. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Trying my gin & tonic with Drumshanbo Gunpowder irish gin. Still rank The Botanist 1st, but this comes second. Hendricks moves to 3rd and never saw it coming.

How Owen Thiele and Jack Innanen revived the classic TV slow-burn romance in 'Adults'

The actors spoke about their characters' big moment in the Season 2 finale of the comedy, the alternate ending they taped and where their relationship might go in Season 3.

Got my brother to pick up this Claire Gleeson novel (and The Amusements & Boys Don't Cry) when he was in Dublin a few weeks ago. Had a hard time finding these here. Knocked back the first 90 pages of this one today.

Well, fuck. Nobody wanted Dolly to go.

Putting together a fall/winter reading list, and I want to add an Alejandro Zambra book. Loved Chilean Poet, but not familiar with his other novels. Suggestion?

I'll just add one thing--the final story in Daanje's book is the best fictional reckoning with the concept of quantum reality that I have ever read. Even better than the attempts by Cormac McCarthy and Benjamín Labatut (both of whom also gave it a Gothic sensibility, interestingly).

Anjet Daanje's "The Remembered Soldier" was one of my books of 2025 and I think her newest, "The Song of Stork and Dromedary," is even better. It's a teeming, detail-rich galaxy of stories orbiting the lives and myths of a fictional version of the Brontës. Extraordinary. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

That's such a tight angle. Glad we got one in. #everton

the way we lost at trivia tonight. Fucking science.

images from the Beatles movie made me hiss

like we needed another reason to dislike Liverpool.

Having a gin (The Botanist) and tonic (fever tree/ Mediterranean) with lemon, 6 juniper berries,& a rosemary sprig. Cannot recommend enough. Best version of my favorite. (I know i posted something similar in June, but this is important).

he's like Gatsby looking at the green light

Bowen Yang is a perfect choice for Oh, Mary! Saw it with Cole Escola 14 months ago or so, but think Yang would be worth a 2nd viewing.

Finally going to watch The Red Shoes (1948)

TODAY: @g-kwiatkowski.bsky.social on applying meaning to the world. "Perhaps the home had been placed there so that its residents would spend their final years under the gaze of the dead.
