Thanks, Reg 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

A somewhat curtailed post today.

Says Enco:

“And people resisting Islam in the Islamic world have yet another work to add to their arsenal.”

Ponder how improbable the outcome in which the most “liberal”, the ones who are most emphatic about anti-racism, anti-discrimination against LGBT and marginilized groups and oppressed groups are the most aligned with Islam. Islam, if there…[Read more]

Good stuff Enco. But i rarely read stuff 2x.

Lets see. Why i aint a Christ lover by Russell. A few Washington Irvings. Bout it. Too much new stuff to read to waste it on rerun.

Enco,

I read em out of the Harvard Classics. Can’t remember but i assume there was some sort of preface or introduction that explained the background. Or maybe i asked my dad. idk. At this point the residue is simply of good stories.

Reg,

Next time i order books a Banville will be included.

Thanks

Jake – you might enjoy reading some of works by John Banville. He can have an unusual way with words that catches one off guard. His imagery is great. The landscape is being filtered through memory, grief, vanity, jealousy or desire. A cloud, a reflection in glass, a room at dusk or the surface of the sea tells us as much about the observer as…[Read more]

Thanks Reg.

Pretty cool it is free online. My memory was inaccurate. Stories not plays. I think i read Irish playwrights around same time. It is weird how something stays with us from what we’ve read. At least it does with me. Pops up seemingly random basis. As a kid i really enjoyed stories from 1001 Arabian Nights. Pretty sure some of those…[Read more]

I hope it clears up soon. Going to spend the whole day hikingwalking. Jake – Reading Dubliners as a ‘wee lad’ is an achievement.

Me in CT. But CT not in me.

Three days ago hiked and sensed something off but attributed it to high humidity. Two days ago opened door with intention of hiking and closed it right quick. Air was hazy, smoky cuttlefish explosive and woodfire asphyxiation inducing. Ameliorated but still piss poor today. I read there are 835 active fires in the…[Read more]

Last couple of days Reg. Tuesday it was sepia coloured outside. Felt I was in the 1890s. Today’s been a bit iffy. Tomorrow it’s going to be clear. We have local smoke trackers on our weather apps at the moment. It must be awful at the source.

Anyone impacted by the wildfire smoke? Folks in NY say it is a problem. Looks like it is in VT too.

Enco,

Lefties and Islamists are not gonna read that book.

I have an idea for a companion book. Lefties and Islamists on trial. Claim by claim analysis comparing the specific libels and calumny against Israel/Jews to in the case of lets say apartheid look at ALL ISLAMIC STATES. Examine treatment of Palestinians in neighboring states.

Before i…[Read more]

Gonna be interesting to see whether this puts the nail in the Tbell. Trex came first and now…?

I remember when tylenol had there little issue and they survived. How would you as a CEO or high mucky muck advise?

Assurances of quality control? Offers of compensation to future victims of explosive diarrhea? Farm animals that the kids can feed?…[Read more]

Jake, people have been pointing out they’re very familiar with the traditional digestive disasters from Taco Bell and that this new explosive upgrade is of a completely different nature.  🤷‍♀️

Speaking of appetizing food…Taco Bell

When media is pointing out that the diarrhea-producing food chain is causing diarrhea and emphasizing its innate kinetic nature, namely how it is explosive, you know it is humdinger and…[Read more]

Strega,

I might say you speak with a verisimilitude.

Or i might say how dare you impugn the acumen of our great leader!

He’s given us ICE and aint that nice?

He’s given us fair and honest elections.

He’s given us professorial stable genius leadership

He’s given us a cabinet for the ages!

He’s tested our institutions like no prior.

He’s…[Read more]

Jake. “Dya thinnk those Trump guffaw producing fuck ups are real or AI?”

The real tragedy is that we even have to ask.
