Year of the Hydra

[BRUISER @bruisermag]

My stomach ached, my head rushed even as my blood felt sluggish and cold. The souvenir cup was sixty-four ounces, so maybe thirty-two ounces is the perfect amount.

Never. Oh, never.Nothing will die. The stream flows, the wind blows, the cloud fleets, the heart beats.

The dicks we are here concerned with are not detectives. They are not out drawing politico-dark capital connections behind seemingly garden variety murders. Rather, they are concerned with the nature of reality itself.

@Fatherfairing on Melville, PKD & Gnostic Pulp. Link ↓

On Annie Dillard, panpsychism, and getting Weird in the woods.

Maybe standing in a circle making dumbass jokes about high art with the boys in the theater lobby after the show is the cure to male loneliness.

I'm kicking off a new substack which will focus on Gnostic Pulp, "the grand American literary tradition in which deep investigation into the nature of reality are mashed up against dime novel tropes." First essay is on PKD and Moby-Dick

Bizarro Pynchon is already amongst us. He’s on X, he’s on BSky, he’s on Threads, he’s on Substack, he’s lying spread-eagled at the crossroad. He’s dispersed so finely we’ll never find him. He has no nexus. He is the mist. He is us.

Some nations boast great kings. We have survived because we are not worth the trouble of invasion."

The ‘I Heard Whales (I Think)’ to ‘I Saw Another Bird’ to ‘I Spoke to a Fish’ portion of the new Mount Eerie is phenomenal. Whole album is, but man those animal songs really do it for me.

"The courthouse stands in the center: a stone totem of order. Everything orbits around it, at least on the surface. What is unseen has its own laws to answer to: the unknown..."

"Acton finds a place to park down a side street. Everything is both totally familiar and completely strange, like visiting a long dead relative’s house in a dream."
