not super well-versed in harrison, but "climbers" and "the course of the heart" are two of the great novels of the 20th c i think (his shorts from the late 70s onward are also usually incredible), and honestly he's probably too good for both lit fic bores and sf/fantasy dorks

you know who *was* super well-versed in harrison was the (wisely long gone from here) @NoChorus who spent almost 60 hours talking about basically every word the man ever wrote here: patreon.com/cw/SFULTRA

list discourse in three stages: 1.) legitimate queries re. omissions, especially if canon-building ("where's husker du?"), 2.) complaints of a more "never gonna happen" sort ("what, no railroad jerk?"), and 3.) general idiocy ("uhhh ever heard of a little band called *nirvana*?")

if you're over 35, no music list is actually for you. unless it's rolling stone, in which case it's not for anyone under 55

the dead-eyed line reading on "and then we'd get the chair" still kills me 32 years later
I love how Homer pays so little attention that he doesn't even realize Bart never had glasses, and Marge literally just kind of ignored all of Homer's nonsense in this scene; it is so classic, I love it.

the nick land situation is funny in general, but this is even funnier if you were around for the Transgressive Cyberculture Disruptors bullshit of the late 90s/early 00s, like how so many of the spooooky 80s industrial guys have devolved into "wake up, sheeple" uncles on facebook

one of those artists with a massive unruly catalog where i figured out what little slice i liked decades ago and have zero regrets about not becoming an obsessive (even briefly) (see also: young, neil) but boy am i gonna miss him when he's gone, an eternally opaquely cussed man

one fundamental problem with the democratic party is that it is still full of people who like to go on CNN the day after historic wins and say things like "our voters aren't looking for revenge" when clearly even the libbiest of libs wouldn't mind a little revenge at this point

amazing these guys are still doing the "you have no idea what you have unleashed, we are the coming storm" routine after faceplanting this hard, one of your precious racist podcasters got capped in broad daylight a year ago and you still managed to lose fucking texas, wrap it up
i have no illusions about the democrats as a national party (feckless hacks) or how they'll govern now (badly, barely) but on the other hand it has been a real delight to see every smug, swaggering chud account on here posting variations on "ow my tummy hurts" all night

like i get that we're all unfortunately forced to use the same internet, but you as an adult don't have to treat it like some horrible high school year that never ends, but just go about your business, let them be dumb in the peace and security of their own kind like god intended

the "public intellectuals" of the post-goldwater right were always hacks and pseuds, but there's something extra pathetic about the current crop just being more millennials steeped the same shitty pop culture as everyone else, writing panegyrics to the fucking star wars prequels
