- Just belatedly read Birnam Wood, the new-er Ellie Catton book that i don't think made much of a splash but which kinda fucked me up (even though i'm not sure it was a great book) and perhaps feels even more direly timely a year and a half after publication
- Doing a little dive into the “me and my ChatGPT 🥰” genre on reels and tiktok and boy it’s wild out there - i did not know so many online girls were out there spilling their guts to the bot 24/7

- Dude... things are d a r k dark. It's leftist community prepping time for real -- can't leave the disaster preparedness to the few remaining public servants and heavily armed chud militias excited to protect Target from looters. 📻🪣🧯👨🍼💊🥫
- The people are crying out for an unalienated relationship to the world, to work, to our animal brethren!! Unfortunately they are expressing that desire by destroying food safety systems rather than destroying capitalism, industrial agriculture, the wage...
- “When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.” — Casey Means, Trump’s latest surgeon-general nominee. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

On the golden pager, Ngai's gimmick, Freud's joke, the destruction of Gaza, kitsch, circuits, the end of the Poor Image, & some new theories about space+time. dilettantearmy.com/articles/gol...

- New from me! For Dilettante Army (& visionary editor Sara Clugage) I wrote a deep/dark analysis of the foul and tacky "golden pager" trophy that Netanyahu gifted Trump back in Feb. This is about trees, circuits, jokes, images, explosions, kitsch, evil. dilettantearmy.com/articles/gol...
- Reposted by kelly pendergrastSCOOP: FEMA workers will stop knocking on doors to provide aid to survivors in disaster areas, per a memo obtained by WIRED. This comes as the agency is shifting responsibility for recovery efforts to local authorities. Oh, and it's hurricane preparedness week, btw.

- “Hundreds lined up to see The Shrouds” actually no this was the very moment me and @gewittrderrosen.bsky.social were being told we had a 0.001% chance of getting rush tickets to The Shrouds (with DC in person) aka lined up to NOT SEE the Shrouds 😢
- Reposted by kelly pendergrastYou've probably been hearing a lot of rumors about the Oakland Review of Books (ORB), but I'm here to assure you that no such thing exists. (Yet!) There is, however, this calendar of literary and other events in the East Bay for the coming week: oakland-review-of-books.ghost.io/the-oakland-...
- Bad enough living in CA where you have to fight for a campground or trailhead reservation — in the Bay Area you also have to set an alarm to try & snag tix for the industrial port tour or sewage facility tour ... goddam infrastructure nerds everywhere!!
