Day 244

‪「 Well isn't he a weird guy. He always has that grumpy look on his face when he sees me. At some points I've started to think he would be so glad I'm not around, but then he proved the opposite, with no words. For a brief moment, I've wished I didn't have my gloves on. 」

Friends, I’m going to express myself today in a way I’m not particularly comfortable doing. I hope you’ll forgive me. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been fascinated by the bestseller list of The New York Times Sunday book review, especially nonfiction. I wondered how certain books and their topics got to be high on the list. I was particularly interested in the books that got to be 1 bestsellers. I thought that their authors and ideas provided tiny windows into the American mind at those particular moments in time. For the last 43 years, I’ve also felt a personal stake. My first book was published in 1982. It didn’t make anywhere near the bestseller list. One day I was at a friend’s house and noticed it on a bookshelf in his living room. I told him how flattered I was that he had bought it. He looked a bit sheepish and suggested I pull the book out and look inside. When I opened the cover, I found that the entire inside had been hollowed out. It had been sold to him for safe-keeping. It was where he stored valuable jewelry from his grandmother. He assumed no one would ever find it because no one would ever pull out my book. Years went by, and I wrote 17 more books. I wrote them as well as I could, but to be perfectly candid with you, I don’t think readers found them especially exciting. They were about economics, politics, and philosophy. As I recall, only one made the Times bestseller list, and it was 6 for about a minute. I’ve contented myself with the thought that my books have contributed to public understanding, notwithstanding. I used to joke that my books were the kind that once you put them down, you couldn’t pick them up. So when a friend phoned recently to tell me that my new book, Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America, was 1 on the Times nonfiction bestseller list (it’s actually right there at the top in this Sunday’s print edition!) I couldn’t believe it. Being the sentimental slob I am, my eyes welled up. It’s been a lifetime dream, yet I’ve been worried about sharing the news. Bragging about a personal achievement seems so, well, Trumpian. Yet here I am sharing the news with you. Somehow I thought you’d want to know.

Painting this dark terrifies me.

It’s this new painting approach I’m still trying to experiment with toward something that feels dreamy and moody. Watercolor isn’t’ the most forgiving when painting this dark, but maaaan it turned out pretty dope in the end!

I am thinking about Q telling Bond he wants his help testing a new model of invisible in-canal earpiece, designed to be usable during deep-cover missions.

Q wants Bond's help because Bond is very good and well-trained about handling earpieces on a mission (in the sense of NOT doing the rookie-agent thing of fiddling with it once its in or wincing and clutching at his ear when there's unexpected feedback!).

Bond is NOT good at keeping his earpieces intact or turning them properly in once the mission is done. But, Q wryly remarks, perhaps it will work out better if they're able to give him the kind that can actually be installed into his body for weeks/months at a time, rather than something he can simply pull out and fling away for no good reason.

Anyway. Bond is highly pleased to have been chosen as Q's Preferred Consultant on this project. Bond does the requisite whining and complaining when the time comes for Q and a doctor from Medical to install the things, but after that, he is hyped to do all the assessments Q has prepared for this prototype.

Picture Nimble the dog, absolutely locked in and ready to crush the record for the agility run.

Bond is going to get a good grade in Helping Test Out Important Field Equipment (possible to achieve, normal to want, etc)! He is so intense about writing up his reports to Q about sound quality and sensitivity and any interference he might experience while going about his day-to-day activities outside HQ.

He shows up on time for all Q's personal assessments, luxuriating in Q's undivided attention as Q runs tests to determine what Bond can/can't hear and how his hearing changed the baseline measurements Q took before the procedure.

And Bond is so caught up in the euphoria of being Q's favorite colleague (and highest-quality guinea pig!), that for a moment, he no longer lived in a reality where:

A) Hearing aids exist

B) Medical has been hinting for the last year that he needs them

C) Q is sneaky enough to figure out a way to get Bond to accept hearing aids (and dial them in to meet Bond's hearing-loss needs) without Bond realizing it until MONTHS later

Oops.

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”
