Airbnb should give me some credit for the appliances I fix when I’m at the house.

I desperately need an omniscient god to tell me which of these are real and which are excuses for something else they did while drunk or high (or are real but because of being drunk or high).

Out running in rural Maine a woman in a pickup waved me down to ask if I had seen her lost cow. That Real America stuff hits so hard.

Maybe a crank opinion (and applicable to areas of expertise far outside academia), but I think academics could work a little harder at preventing these concepts from escaping the seminar room without context. Seems like on balance more harm than good has come from it.

People joining the Peace Corps, you don’t hear so much about it anymore.

Just finished one of those NYRB reissues, it was about a disaffected man struggling to cope with modernity in a gritty, post-war world. Grabbed another one, it’s about disaffected man struggling to cope with modernity in a gritty, post-war world.

What did the author of a Perfect Storm’s girlfriend say to him when she was upset he hadn’t proposed yet? Sebastian, I’m not getting any JUNGER!

I don’t mean to be snarky but the funniest thing about this endless controversy is that the seniors in question do not even park in the lost parking spots in question. They mostly perform insane (often illegal) maneuvers to park in the parking lot of the grocery store they’re trying to go to.

Maybe I’m misremembering but the general tenor of coverage and the general gestalt felt very different when W. was at these numbers.
