‘𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘷𝘦, of course, is a bittersweet elegy – for the old Western way of life, for the era of American expansion, for the cowboy. It’s also, perhaps too subtly, a critique of those things.’

New narrative historical podcast about important French cultural figures just dropped. Come for @courtneyraisin.bsky.social's trenchant insights into the lives of Gallic luminaries, stay for my brilliant-but-brief Yves Montand impression in one of the Piaf eps: www.parisunlocked.com/french-cultu...

The "60 Minutes" story is about cynicism, corruption, collapse and rot. Specifically, the necrotizing rot of Weiss’s incompetence, wedded to her greed, extremism and arrogance, and the long leash handed her by puerile boy billionaires Ellison and Trump. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/fired-for-...

Keir #Starmer is no more left wing than Nigel #Farage is. In fact Farage and Starmer have much in common. Both shill for a foreign potentate (those Starmer has yet to openly betray Britain) Both take foreign money. Both hate free speech.

Received the proofs so can finally say: I’m delighted to have an essay in July’s issue of Fortnight, the North of Ireland’s oldest, continuous magazine of politics, art, & culture. It’s about translation as transgression, but also hope; it’s abt 2 places I love: Mexico & Ireland Can’t wait to share!

第一の手記.

granting no space to think or feel, why did the soft, indolent earth thus greet me with the shock of a steel plate? did the soft earth turn to steel only to show me my own softness? that nature might bring home to me

Splashes of The Doors and Lou Rawls, plus a fusion of soul, jazz, and rock, pervade 'Mr Alligator' - the last single from the new JJerome87 (alt-J frontman Joe Newman) album, 'The Canyon.'
