the mind of a poster, the heart of a poet

Sep 23, 2024

Hi!

Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.

Coming at you with some corrections, proving even the most decorated Substack writers can make mistakes.

Earlier this year, I was an unknowing participant in a private equity misinformation campaign. Those LIARS [Davide from Love Island voice] sullied my reputation, and I apologize to anyone I led astray with this faulty Red Lobster reporting. I promise to do better.
Loving this study that shows “Blue Zones,” the places originally thought to have miraculously long-living inhabitants, are actually just areas where people commit more pension fraud. So if you’ve been mega-dosing olive oil, you may not live to 100, but you might be more inclined to do crime.
A delicious take-down of my least favorite neo-con rag.
Jesus Christ himself is apparently too woke these days.
Kamala Harris spoke to Oprah about her love for guns and the fantasy of one day murdering someone in her home. Now, obviously I will vote for her, from my socialist outpost in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, but this clip chilled me to my core. If she’s pandering to people who also want to murder in their home? Sickening! If she’s serious? Also deeply fucked! I understand this country was built on violence, but are we not due for a vibe shift after ~250 years of bloodlust? I saw the below J.G. Ballard passage in reference to the discussion, and yeah, that still hits!!!

Tunes to start the week with:

There’s a new Bon Iver single for moping and a new Jamie XX album for dancing, the perfect 2010’s upper/downer music combo.
