Be me: It's midnight, and I've just Googled the lyrics to Wham's “Last Christmas” for a short I'm writing about my recent brush with organ failure.

I haven't read The Pale King, and probably won't. My question is, who wrote it? Which isn't necessarily a quality issue, just a confusing one. I'm frustrated that he didn't get it finished before killing himself, which is unbelievably selfish, and shows a real lack of understanding. But it is the truth.

@Arklowrockz I'm so glad you enjoyed Infinite Jest. He also wrote some cracking journalism. One, originally published in Harper's magazine called, "Shipping Out: On the (nearly lethal) comforts of a luxury cruise", is excellent. Harper's paid Wallace to take a seven-night cruise to write a piece of travel journalism. Wallace retitled the piece, calling it, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again", which became the title of a collection of essays - it's much longer, over 100 pages (with more footnotes, of course) but well worth checking out. His scathing sense of humour, especially around co-called 'leisure' is at a premium.

@Arklowrockz I bet they've got a string of lines prepared, like "You don't want your family to become the centre of a media circus around race, so best to nip that in the bud. Especially during this very emotional time".

[ChrisDangerfield @FlaneurWords]

@Arklowrockz Almost just 'annoying admin' that they 'just need to tick a few boxes' for. And at the right time, while they're contemplating one of the worst things that can happen to a family - hypnotized by pain - you just nod your head, because why wouldn't you?

@Def_Not_Dan Big fan of JCC - I just hope it’s aimed at Starmer and not my dubious self.

Keir Starmer: "Muslims are successful, brilliant, and creative people. They have made a huge contribution to Britain's history. They are kind, artistic, and educated. They are the face of modern Britain. They are fantastic people."

@RealMolotoff @HistoryBro1 Not a problem, I like talking about these things. Don’t let my long word fool you, I don’t know what they mean.🙏🏻

Put it in your diary. Streaming tomorrow at approximately 17:00 UK time. I will not be promoting my latest Best Selling novel available from Amazon, bookshops, or FREE from libraries. Not a mention, because I’m not like that.

[ChrisDangerfield @FlaneurWords]

@RealMolotoff @HistoryBro1 I assume you're talking about the work, rather than the person? If you want, you're welcome to come on my channel and discuss Warhol.

[ChrisDangerfield @FlaneurWords]

@LairdFortean That's very kind. My views on art, language, and postmodernism tend to make me an outlier on the dissident right (or whatever we're calling it this week), but I think they're conversations worth having.

I've accepted Beau's invitation. My feet to the fire will be held.

[ChrisDangerfield @FlaneurWords]

Had a great chat on Breakfast with Beau on The Lotus Eaters earlier. I mostly talked about language and linguistic oddities in the news, which is probably inevitable.
I've been invited back to discuss art, which should be fun. I think the dissident right has largely misunderstood art. We shall see. https://t.co/3pjLT7KRLU
