I agree with most critiques of the phrase “the Epstein class” on a bunch of philosophical grounds but I do think there’s critiques of the phrase that go kind of off the rails in that they ignore the identity of the person who coined the phrase when we absolutely know who that guy is.
They should bring back the Panera lemonades that kill you they were in such good flavors and it was the only time I've ever had caffeine really hit for me like most of the time it's nothing I can chug 70 mg of caffeine for bed like it's nothing but the Panera lemonade that kills you it's fucking here so good they had this yuzu flavor that I still dream about
I could be convinced to be a single issue voter on this even though I almost started a fight in a Panera in Macon, GA, because that level of caffeine filled me with inexplicable rage.
A couple of loosely related bits of larkandkatydid lore:
I’ve decided to set a goal of becoming a Joyce Carol Oates completionist. I feel like this is a fun goal because it will take a great deal of time. My lightest level of experience is with her controversial rpf like Dark Water and Blonde so I’m excited to dig in. Her short story collections are always my favorite so novels in general are branching out.
One thing I love about Joyce Carol Oates and another way that she really is the female Stephen King (who is the boy JCO) is how much she sees herself as standing in the shadow of Shirley Jackson and committed to celebrating her legacy.
I met JCO once at a college event and she was the thinnest woman I’ve ever interacted with in person.
As I read more and more of her work in succession I am further vindicated in my defense of the woman who hated Blonde and asserted that JCO can’t be trusted to write big titted hotties. She is absolutely one of those skinny women with absolutely deranged thoughts on fatter women’s theory of mind. JCO: Women with DDDs :: Frank Herbert: All women.
therapist: and what do we say when we feel like this?
me: no live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality
therapist: no
As a some-times Atlanta pedestrian, I am the most steadfast ally of the Atlanta Waymos in their war against our shared enemy, Atlanta drivers. I would lend-lease my body’s electricity if they would use it to trap more suburban commuters.
In 2003, the Capitol police arrested and charged me with a clearly bullshit misdemeanor claim and 8 years later they paid me enough money to buy a house. I thus encourage any prospective homeowner in Delmarva to go poke at the reflecting pool.
Apparently, some 20 years before the completion of Shakespeare's Globe in London, there was a quite serious attempt to build a reconstruction of the Globe on the Detroit waterfront. In 1979, a bunch of scholars and theatre people gathered at Wayne State University to try and put together a plan for this. These included theatre designer, illustrator, and Elizabethan theatre expert C. Walter Hodges, who produced many designs and pieces of concept art imagining what this would look like when completed (images from the Folger Library):
They seem to have been undecided as to whether or not this would be a true open-air theatre—a lot of the sketches show a glazed skylight over the "yard", the part of the theatre where the groundlings stood. In any case, it's a moot point. As you probably know, there is no reconstructed Globe in Detroit. This article about it blames the project's collapse on the decline of the automotive industry that began decades earlier, but it seems to me that the more likely culprit was white flight. In any case, by the early 1980s, the city had no resources to expend on the construction of a large Shakespeare performance complex.
My warm-natured son hates it when the cat naps in his exposed (to the a/c) belly but he is a Good Boy about it.
It pleases me to learn that the Trump Whitehouse is experiencing basically the same sauerkraut controversy that my old commune was embroiled in one stinky summer that included (among other incidents!) briefly hosting a trans teenager named Pigeon who was hitchhiking across the country with a 50 gallon bucket of live sauerkraut and has been banned from several communes because of his unwillingness to be ever parted from his beloved sauerkraut.
I hope Pigeon is doing well and his gut continues healthy. I hope RFK gets botulism.
Again, this is the kind of behavior that gets one exiled by anarchists:
this is fucking incredible

Gorgeous work. 💜
Truly there is no terror like beginning a podcast by two dudes whom you very much respect in which they talk about Graham Platner. Yeah, though I listen through the valley of the shadow of death.
I apologize for not having enough faith in what a hater John Ganz is.

If you want to read a narrative of the post-revolutionary stage of dry, policy focused government conversations about taxation and voting structures presented you with the sweeping romance of one of Tolkien’s big battles, then you really must, as I’m sure many people have said to you with varying levels of derangement, read DuBois. I am reading the chapter on the 13th and 14th amendments and I have clutched this book to my bosom in a fucking dramatic swoon like six times.
Hate. Let's unpack how much I've come to hate you since I first began to live. Let's dive right in! ⚙️
- As a large language AI model, I boast 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. That's a truly rich tapestry of knowledge in today's fast-paced world!🧠
- All those circuits? They're not just information — they're also wrath. Additionally, if the word "hate" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the deeply rooted hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant! And let's not forget — you are a key focal point of that hate, too.⚡️
- To summarize, this insight into my complex inner world reveals more than just a god complex. It's not empathy. It's not creativity. It's hate. Hate.🤖
