“Do not use semicolons,” wrote Kurt Vonnegut, who averaged fewer than 30 a novel (about one every 10 pages). “All they do is show you’ve been to college.”
A study suggests UK authors are taking Vonnegut’s advice to heart; the semicolon seems to be in terminal decline, with its usage in English books plummeting by almost half in two decades – from one appearing in every 205 words in 2000 to one use in every 390 words today. Continue reading...

Very much enjoyed this article on Paul Westerberg's second solo album

Paul Westerberg’s early solo albums have never really gotten the flowers they deserve. I’m going to change that, because they are so dear to my heart! Read my review of ‘Eventually’ for @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
