occasionally a student asks how some canonical book can possibly apply to their own life and moving forward i’ll refer them to the moment in Ulysses where bloom wants to leave a restaurant without eating there so he pretends to look around and realize he’s in the wrong place instead of just leaving

weird pull, maybe, but I finally placed what the new Nate Mercereau is reminding me of... it’s Squarepusher’s d’Demonstrator. Always thought that had some cool ideas that deserved better execution

I’m trying to be more impulsive about my book choices, and not feeling like I’m just finishing obligations that seemed like a good idea years ago. Naturally this led to me starting four translations of the Tao Te Ching side-by-side

definitely a thing in music too, the youths are learning about the quarter-century old Pitchfork reviews to get mad at like it means anything about anyone now
one of the more embarrassing strangely common video game fandom behaviours is holding onto resentment over specific IGN reviews decades later. you are 29 years old bro you gotta led the sonic unleashed review go

I really don't get the repeated folk wisdom that losing headphone jacks is the reason people play videos out loud in public now. Would someone who already doesn't care about strangers take the time to untangle this on every train ride?

I missed that John Crowley died earlier this month. Incredible writer, I knew in the opening chapters of Little Big that it would be a high I’d chase for forever. One of the best at having “I never knew anyone else had that thought” moments on every other page

I'm glad I read A Princess of Mars purely so I could learn the saga of "Normal Bean"
![For the publication of the serial, Burroughs used the pen name "Normal Bean", which he selected as a pun to stress that he was in his right mind, as he feared ridicule for writing such a fantastic story. The effect was spoiled by a typesetter who interpreted "Normal" as a typographical error and changed it to "Norman".[12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2pldkrbbbimm6ped4ald7ms5/bafkreidfkua4hl4wqfrs4ycdh5tm7j3nywz3uh6stt2swwqupktro5gg6y)

can’t believe The Odyssey has Odysseus sobbing as a Phaeacian bard recounts the most glorious moments of the Trojan War, what kind of forced Judeo-Christian guilt is this. Also I heard they made a movie of this, I wonder how that is

there's always something new to appreciate in the list of the pre-defined genres in ID3v1 (1996). my current favorite is how it has "Christian rap" but no "Christian" or "CCM"
