One big and enduring reason Jerry trusted me is that he sensed that I was no stranger to the dark spot in the wood—something we shared in common.
Harris was asked what she would have done differently from Biden, and she answered:
Nothing comes to mind.
Trump won against Clinton in large part because of the stories they told:
Trump’s was. “I’m going to make America great again.”
Clinton’s was. “America is already great.”
One of the many things that makes Catherine Barnett’s work so compelling is her willingness to look doubt and ennui and abjection squarely in the face. To make it, in fact, a part of the beauty. To welcome it into her lines. It is the grace and candor in the act of that curiosity and attention that makes the beauty. Never to make what is ugly or fallen a morbid delicacy, but to draw an honesty out of writing, a dispassionate and disposed truth-telling about the relentlessness of everyday suffering and sorrow and being. There is a buoyancy, a joy even, in the telling—that’s part of the gift of Barnett’s lyrics. Solutions for the Problem of Bodies in Space is her fourth collection, and it has all the power of her clarity, but with a new layer of sobriety, somehow, as plainspoken as it is mysterious.
I dessa tider — när ljudrummet dränks i den kommersiella radions tyckmyckentrutade pubertalflams — har man nästan gett upp. Men det finns ljus i mörkret.

Thanks for sharing your work, Glenn. It definitely engaged my imagination. However, there were a few instances where I found it hard to parse. Here are my notes:
“I wanna savage your spinal remains.”
Unless you’re one of those bone-crushing vultures, this doesn’t really make much sense for a character’s motivation. Consider revising.
“She walked out with empty arms. Machine gun in her hand. She is good, and she is bad. No one understands”
I appreciate that you’re trying to tackle the essential duality of human nature here, along with the existential crisis perpetuated by our inability to ever truly perceive the interior mental states of those around us, but how can her arms be empty if she’s got a machine gun in her hand? I don’t get it.
“We walk the streets at night. We go where eagles dare.”
Strong start here. Solid scene-setting and use of metaphor. But I’ll be honest, this part kind of lost me:
“The omelet of disease. Awaits your noontime meal. Her mouth of germicide. Seducing all your glands.”
Liberal Democrat MP and former ocean rower Dr Roz Savage is challenging the Government's “narrow” environmental plans
At 11 am on 17 March 2022, seafarers aboard vessels operated by P&O Ferries were told to attend a pre-recorded Zoom meeting. In the video, a besuited executive of the company announced: ‘I am sorry to inform you that your employment is terminated with immediate effect . . . your final day of employment is today.’ With that, the […]

That Oscar Wilde found much to ridicule in the conventional values of late Victorian society is evident to anyone who has turned a page of his work. What is less known is that the playwright and poet envisioned a very different society as not only desirable but possible, and penned a political essay—The Soul of […]
How Hurricane Milton and other climate chaos could trigger the next economic crisis.
It’s Wednesday and as usual I am writing about a few issues rather than providing a detailed analysis of a specific issue. Today, I publish the video of Australian launch of our new book – Modern Monetary Theory: Bill and Warren’s Excellent Adventure. I also comment on the current situation in the Middle East and…
Believe them. They carry out their agenda when they get the power to do it: Trump talks a lot about the 1890s as America’s golden era. That’s when he thinks America was great. Child labor was a big part of that: Court documents unsealed in the Western District of Arkansas reveal accusations of child labor at Tyson processing plants, which have since prompted searches by the U.S. Department of Labor. Applications for inspection warrants were filed in September 2024 for Tyson Foods Rogers and Tyson Foods Green Forest. The applications, which included narratives from an investigator at the Houston District Office for the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor, claim that there is reason to believe minors are employed in violation of labor laws at the Tyson locations in Rogers and Green Forest. The warrants were seeking records relating to the employment of minors, and the searches were meant to gather records relating to employees for Tyson Foods or affiliates and contractors of Tyson Foods, according to the applications.

I’m a well-informed Hobbit—a Boffin from Overhill, thank you very much—who is in a kerfuffle about whom to throw my Hobbit-sized support behind. For some, the choice is clear, but for a little guy like me, I’m feeling awfully torn up, like a tear-and-share cheese bread during Winter Solstice! I simply can’t seem to decide between the Dark Lord determined to return to power and stay there until shadows drown all of Arda, or the Elf Galadriel, who seems to be great and exceedingly normal, but I just wish I knew more about her.
I’ve tried my best to keep up with current events, but my day-to-day life is quite calamitous. Between dancing, eating until I can barely wobble home, the pestilence that wiped out my crop of pumpkins, and more dancing, I barely have the energy to host Elevensies let alone engage in public discourse! I know I need to listen, especially since the Shire could determine the future of Middle-earth. I’m here now, trying to catch up on the news before making this apparently earth-shattering decision.
But for these candidates to win my favor, I have to be clear that my concerns as a Hobbit center around one thing: pain at the pipe.
