Crash Test Dummies put it well, but substitute (add?) #grief for the "human race":
> When everything seems nicely planned out
> Well the human race will come and smack your face

Says Robert Lowell:
> Dream Songs is a hazardous, imperfect book. One would need to see the unpublished parts to decide how well it fills out as a whole. As it stands, the main faults of this selection are the threat of mannerism, and worse—disintegration. How often one chafes at the relentless indulgence, and cannot tell the what or why of a passage. And yet one must give in. All is risk and variety here. This great Pierrot’s universe is more tearful and funny than we can easily bear.

The new Laughing Buddha #oolong #tea from Floating Leaves (such an awesome place, I always love being able to stop in the brick and mortar store and see Noah and Shiuwen) is incredible.

Is #mastodon really that challenging to understand for people who actually have a real interest in leaving the birdsite? Disappointing to hear Jon Favreau saying he’s down on it because it’s so complicated, but he clearly doesn’t actually want to leave Musk’s warm, fascist embrace.

Or the consensus is just a lot of people around my age who became the Ben Stiller character and are trying to pretend it, and that bland role, doesn’t suck.

Is there really a consensus that Winona Ryder ended up with the wrong person in Reality Bites? That is *such* a wrong take…and/or succinctly represents my wrongness in the world. Your choice. This deserves an essay, but this is all I got.

Shameful. And it figures that (Alaskan) Jim Minnery, a cancerous societal cyst who I can’t share my full thoughts about due to server and community policies, with help from his fondler Gov. Dunceleavy, is at the rotten heart of it.
