Is it because we already know it's drinking craft beer and trying to get more Lifers on Merlin?

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious.

Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

I wish this was a fun cool joke

I've spent six months polishing the first three chapters of something but I think it's finally time to write chapter four!!!!!

Excited for your apology video. You better cry or else

Slutster is my whole aesthetic

Not any form?! Not even LABRADORS, CETHAN?!?! NOT EVEN DOGS?!

Really feel like all encounters with a cat have a 50/50 chance of turning absolutely, unspeakably weird

OH! And in Dubrovnik when a cat came and sat next to me while I had a beer by the water. There was a commotion above and we both looked up to see a second cat leaping off a roof, catching and beheading a swift in midair. Me and chill beer cat just looked at each other, like "Did you see that?!"

Also that time last year when I found a pearl in my dinner and had it made into a ring. That was pretty magical too

I met a black cat in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and it led me behind the city walls into a secret garden, where I saw glowworms for the first time in my life

Morning!

For the record, if a cannibal ever did fall in love with me, I'd kill them first. No matter how much they promised they'd never eat me, love fades, promises break. Eventually their dark hunger for my succulent flesh would overcome them. Best to strike first

I feel this was very much prompted by seeing an article about Glen Powell after all the Geese stuff and thinking about what happens when the industry is determined to make something "happen", which led to Armie Hammer and all that malarkey and so obviously... Cannibal dreams

I dreamt that a cannibal was in love with me and while Dream Me was fine with it, something in Real Me was not and she yanked me right out of that dream

I keep mistaking Ben Lerner for Will Poulter

I made a stew yesterday (I've never made stew before) and today it tastes even better and maybe I can be like stew, channel the maturing, deepening powers of broth and chicken and butterbeans and onions and stuff. Maybe tomorrow I can be even better

@maris.bsky.social Congratulations on Volume 100 of The Maris Review! I've read so many wonderful books because of you and I can't wait to read the next 100 newsletters so I can read even more great books

I’ve been informed this is the plot of Dune

It's very nice on here when something actually good happens and everyone gets a little bit giddy

POPE LEO XIV: I will not enter into debate. The things that I say are certainly not meant as attacks on anyone. The message of the Gospel is very clear: ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’

DARREN, POPE LEO’S FRIEND: fuck him up leo

Fighting with the pope, thinking of himself as god, humiliated in a naval war of choice he assumed he would win easily over an "inferior" people, surrounded by kook healers and medical advisors, obsessed with familial legacy in the shadow of an actually successful father, this man is Nicholas II

Thank you! I'm very envious you get a chance to see them so often!

Did you see any deer?!

a just and loving god would have let Hilary Mantel live to hear “the pope is weak on crime”

So far Vance has killed a Pope, killed Orban's political career, and killed the USA's negotiations with Iran. We should get him to visit Nigel Farage

He's the Paddington Bear of international diplomacy

Don is going to be doubly mad with JD after this weekend

What if we guillotined one billionaire and gave the rest a week to de-billionarise themselves in a way that fundamentally benefits society or else (we'd guillontine again!). Do we think this plan has legs?
