This is your regular reminder that food doesn’t slap.
Nor do shows, movies, objects, people, video games, drinks, tweets, YouTube videos, twitch streams/streamers, naps, clothes, non-abusive parents, etc etc etc.
Just finished the Zothique collection by Clark Ashton Smith. The prose and vibes are IMMACULATE. Seems a bit underrated tbh.
Now reading The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez. Heard it was fire, so I’ll report back shortly of course.
Los Angeles voting how it is currently shouldn’t be THAT surprising and yet… still disappointing. We’re just gonna keep setting ourselves back with these fuckass political choices.

This is exemplified by any time they hear big words in a rap by anyone not DOOM and go “MF DOOM, is that you???”
I genuinely do not know how anyone who appreciates high level rhyming could hate MF DOOM.
I do understand hating on the insufferable new wave of fans who "don't listen to rap but listen to DOOM" or want to box him into some kind of nerd rap subgenre.
I find it so funny when y’all try to make generalized statements about America like we aren’t over 300 million people deep with a huge range of diversity and varying subcultures and regional customs
Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville and my brain is fully activated now.
Just started Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith and mannnn, this dude writes atmosphere like no other. I’m already IN THERE.
New gens are gonna learn why shovel knight is on the indie Mount Rushmore despite not being as prominent as any other indie hit in the last 10 years. Yacht club is goated
