  • Running through (Sample. .)

    Representin’ the 732! Yeah! It’ll be good, though. Listen to this. Yep, here I go. Introducin’ the man who ran through Sudan chewin’ a Toucan Sam gram of fruit shit. See, I drops rhymes so astute, they stupid. So sweet, when I speak ’em, it’s leavin’ me toothless. Listen, the useless braggadaccio bars that you…

  • Dangerous Double Standards.

    All double standards are dangerous, because all of them are an example of conflicted categories. I thought it might be a good idea to set out a list of dangerous double standards that we find in today’s society, as of the time of this writing. Hopefully, these things will change. (1) The Monopoly on Force:…

  • I’m reading Rabbit, Run by John Updike, as part of the Rabbit Angstrom four-book collected edition I got from Amazon, and it’s really incredible. The sense of just diving into not only a very specific world of America in the 1970s, or something, but also diving into all the thoughts, the streaming thoughts, of the…

  • Editing Showcase: #1

    This is going to be an edit of a post I had on MattThoughts. That site was made to be exactly what the spirit wanted, which is often not all that close to what Chicago wanted. Still, I think that site came out well, but, still, I think I could do better, in terms of editing…

  • The Fun Club.

    Stephen King releases a new book of short stories, next year. This does not happen every year, or even every sixth year, necessarily. It comes out in late May (May 21, 2024), and that leaves me enough time, I think, to not only reasonably, but fashionably, as well, complete a reading/Re-reading of every short story…

  • More Names

    I got another one, today, from the new (or, old? Who knows) Marvel show about how another sort of Iron Man–like character would be a young black girl who was supposedly some kind of girl genius–type character, and her name, in the show, is Riri. As in, “Ree ree.” Retard. You can make of the…

  • 2024 TBR.

    I read one-fourth of the Library of Alexandria before it was burnt to the floor. —Canibus, “Master Thesis” So, I think this is just about the be the verge (or, it is the verge . . .) of my becoming a reader like I am a listener-to of music. That means if I get a…

  • ThOse Years, TheSE

    They spent those years dancing through empty hospitals, literally, and going on TV to say That there was a big Problem, here.

  • How to Be the Ubermensch.

    As usual, I’m going to lean into the connotations, here, but for anyone who would like to know, I think this is a good prescription to be the Ubermensch.

  • Appreciate the Good, in You .

    While the culture is busy pushing the acceptance of the killing of innocent babies, the erosion of our culture with whatever those poor, poor people who just want to make more money from those poor, broken-down countries that somehow they still take vacations to and send back money to are bringing here (they’re from hard-off…
