i love patronizing an aggressively middle-USian "bar & grill" & ordering the "loaded nachos" & finding the plate 2 be totally devoid not only of salsa but just "moisture" generally.. meatchickenolivespeppers baked into pure parched uniformity ... arid mildly edible collage

rlly enjoying this 1—breezy, largely ... but then hits v v unassumingly high notes ... aimless in a characteristically cultured contemporary way that is so well-defined by the novel as to feel (paradoxically?) grounded ... from Double Negative press
smoking that shit that makes a sedentary society type MFer believe sedentary societies have lasted anywhere near as long as nomadic societies
nifty poem-collection ... neo-Petrarchan sentiments embedded in limberly sturdy nonfixed lineations ... @ times quite cosmic; & feels very "of the moment" in the sense of being oft-direct in a way that feels eminently evasive

Very cool that after 23 years we finally know the sample behind MF DOOM's Fazers

never entertain any suggestion that the idea of "generations" is in any meaningful sense real. There was one generation ever in history and it was Boomers. After that everything's the same, there's no such thing as millennials, gen X, Z, etc. Fake Idea.

Late period Henry James' prose is so resplendent and abstruse (in the best way possible) that it low-key makes me suicidal to know that I'm even thinking in the same language as this master
i wld never be "in conversation" w/ another "artist" sorry ... they tried to make me be "in conversation" w/ other "artists" b4 but ive vehemently refused ... perhaps in "another life" but not in this cycle of respiration ⛔️☠️🚫🫁
it's "a real one" ... it's "a keeper" ... "next-level" even

im too horrified & soulcrushingly appalled in even passing through ~3 or 4 northside neighborhoods on a bus 2 yet say "i love my country of chicago" ... if you are asking me 2 be the Dictator of a great prairie Kingdom we must first perfect our Dominion
