Life goal to be as chill and bad ass as Leslie Jordan. RIP.

Mike Davis, RIP

Cracking open The Passenger after a long day and I’m so excited my hands are trembling. #CormacMcCarthy

ectromelic hallucination

RIP Mike Davis, an ancient Irish prophet disguised as a truck driving academic clairvoyant, a North Star of integrity, righteousness, and fearlessness. The greatest LA non-fiction writer ever -- an omniscient who saw doom everywhere but refused to give up hope or quit fighting.

Mike Davis was so ahead of the curve on Marxist ecology because he was interested in making sense of all the world—Malibu real estate & So Cal flora & LA tenements; El Niños & grain markets & colonial policy. a true materialist. so grateful for all he taught us, RIP.

Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak. Historical law subverts it at every turn. A moral view can never be proven right by any ultimate test.

Mike Davis!

Twitter for me was always about interesting conversations with people I wouldn’t otherwise know: Peaches 💙 guan David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social Kieran Healy etc. I suspect under management by an actual shitlord it won’t be good any more. So thanks to everyone for the good times.

The Passenger mentions Unamuno, Rilke, and Cioran in two pages and I’m in love.

I hate the idea that one toxic jerk can just buy this community and wreck it. I wish it wasn’t about to happen. I’m going to miss all of you and miss what it was.

Low key a great many of the most horrific acts in human history were motivated by a sincere “love of humanity”, which just so happened to be under existential threat by those super human-seeming-but-actual monsters over there…

The systemic, willful confusion of social significance with social construction is exhausting.

Wolves aren’t subjects, man…

Twitter is weird; the only thing I’d pay for here is to have a read-only account. I hate every single post I’ve ever made, every one was a personal failure.

The Passenger is one part No Country for Old Men/The Counselor, one part Suttree, and one part Cormac-does-Delilo/Pynchon.

[Col Kurtz voice] The horror, the horror

Going to the Gran Prix at Washington International Horse Show on Saturday night and I really couldn’t be more excited.

Logging out, which I haven’t done in years, and deleting the app. Won’t delete the account because I’m a coward. But I’m easy to find. Email address is the obvious. Thanks for all the craic.
