Most modern billionaires are just so tacky. Go endow a library. Fund research and get your name on a cancer center. Sponsor an eccentric polymath who’s obsessed with marble. Build a museum. Fund public parks. Back climate research. Create something that outlives your ego.

A lot of weird stuff happened to me this weekend, but I just heard Big Star’s “Thirteen” out in the wild and suddenly all is right with the world.

If you have the Criterion app and have never seen GHOST WORLD, please see it before it leaves after September ends. It’s a fantastic film that apparently some people need convincing is worth a couple of hours of their time. I saw it 9x in theaters for a reason back in 2001.

David Foster Wallace was an absolute stickler for punctuality and good grammar when it came to teaching writing. These grammar guides are from a Liberal Arts course he was teaching in 2002.
Am panicking slightly. This is Graham Greene’s introduction to his autobiography and the first word in line two has thrown me into a vortex of grammatical confusion. Surely, *surely* it should be ‘fewer’. Perhaps nobody dared to correct him…
