Poem by Jeffrey McDaniel, by the way.

Thinking about the use of the word "enrolled."

Text of the poem, The Vase by Jeffrey McDaniel My mother told me that when she dies she wants to be enrolled in a furnace and turned into ash, then she wants me to leave the ash outside in a big glass bowl and let the rain soak into it, then me to stir it up into a kind of clay, make a vase out of it, put it in a kiln, and when I die, have my ashes placed inside, so she can carry me again, forever.

Following r/poetry on Reddit is one of my better internet-related decisions.

Has anyone written about Frank Miller’s 16-panel grid on The Dark Knight Returns? Just thinking about comics.

No way this could come back to haunt us in a few years.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

That's funny because just being in a Costco has the opposite effect on me.

I love them dearly and still buy them sometimes, but I can't read them anymore because my eyes are shot. Bring them back!

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Well, if I can't say Arrakis, I'll go with Anarres!

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I feel so dumb. Weeping in a coffee shop while I wait for my wife’s flight to arrive.

The book I’m reading is breaking my heart. There’s enough heartbreak in the world. Why am I doing this?

This is awful.

Trying to explain to my son that there used to be a sitcom set in a Nazi POW camp. And now I'm doubting my own sanity.

The three spirits:

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

There were pluses to working there. Pay was never one of them.

Aaargh!

It takes a few minutes -MINUTES - to make!

I have already concluded that Ms. Halligan’s original appointment was invalid and that the Attorney General’s attempt to retroactively bestow Special Attorney status on her was ineffective. As a result, the Attorney General “could not have authorized” Ms. Halligan, who was not an attorney for the Government at the time, to present Mr. Comey’s indictment to the grand jury on September 25. Restatement (Second) of Agency, supra, § 84(2) (stating that if “the purported or intended principal could not have authorized” the challenged “act” when it was “done,” “he cannot ratify” it). The implications of a contrary conclusion are extraordinary. It would mean the Government could send any private citizen off the street — attorney or not — into the grand jury room to secure an indictment so long as the Attorney General gives her approval after the fact. That cannot be the law.

Judge Currie rejects AG Bondi's attempt to bless the indictments after the fact:

"It would mean the Govt could send any private citizen off the street — attorney or not — into the grand jury room to secure an indictment so long as the AG gives her approval after the fact. That cannot be the law."

I can use all the recuperative joy I can get.

I will not buy anymore books (for myself) until after Christmas. #AccountabiltyPost

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

I finally committed to buying a quality hoodie. It lasted me ten years (my son now wears it) and I bought a new version of the same hoodie to replace it.
