whereever you go, there you are

Formal experiments make it so tempting to irritate followers with a conceit forcing unnatural snytax and wording on sentiments lacking in substantive meat. Rather than keeping a regular meter a proper expression of well-defined views has to conform to the structure of thought and proceed at the rhythm of actual news.

There's a linguist, Anne Cutler, who studied how everyday speech is affected by rhythm and rhyme. She wrote "The perception of rhythm in language". It's easy to read and it's well worth your time.

lets make jokes that dont make sense and are bad

lowkey and don’t come at me for this, but standup comedy

no i dont want to ‘ask chatgpt’ i want to go to a wikipedia page and spend half an hour reading an article like a real person

Ok

every day people are out here weaving elaborate fictional narratives for nhl players meanwhile pwhl players will just straight up say shit like “we were skinny dipping with team canada while training for the olympics and a shooting star passed overhead and no one else saw it but us and we locked eyes and thus began a secret teammate romance that almost fell apart after we lost the gold medal but the next time our teams played against each other she chased down my team bus after the game to win me back and seven years later we were married and I said in my wedding vows that she was the wish I had always dreamed of and I didn’t realize it until now.” anyway true story and it happened to my girl laura stacey.

trans woman shawn spencer gets a text from henry thats just a link to a trans handy ma'am video with the caption "this could have been you"

Girl, why go on a quest across the land by foot, the train is right there and takes you to the evil citadel 3 times as fast

for the plot

Do you actually want to kill the wizard or do you just want to go on a hike in the woods for 3 weeks

it's a good climax to the hike don't you think

A good climax to a hike tends to just be a pretty waterfall, the evil citadel seems like overkill honestly

you know nothing about artistic vision

I have a vision, I just think that there needs to be some expediency in killing the wizard. Besides, the point of a hike is for naturalistic experiences, the evil citadel is in a dying city on dead waste land devoid of nature.

Haven't you heard of urban exploration?

Oh shit good point, but she could have more time to explore the urban environment if she took the train to the citadel instead of just wondering the wastes

Are there mysterious creatures on the train?

There's Martha and her 3 husbands

I thought Martha was in jail

Her 4th husband broke her out

I thought her fourth husband was dead

No, that was her sixth husband

"the club" isn't a real place. "clubs" are real. I've been to clubs, with their loudness of talking and loudness of music and actually pretty good cocktails and drinking until you think you can dance. none of them have ever been "the club." the club is erewhon, utopia, a dream of finding a reprieve from suffering and loneliness in pleasure. maybe he should be at "the club," but he cannot. we can none of us be there. also the cocktails were probably overpriced.

"the club" exists in the cave rave scene in that matrix sequel and like 2 taio cruz songs and thats it

The club is an ever-present phenomena that can only ever be approached but never truly achieved. Oneness with the club is impossible, but it is our relationship to the club that serves as a measurement for suffering. It also has wine sometimes. Two of the many ways in which the club is like god.

If you are taking the car to Chicago, can you even call yourself a feminist. There are Women on that train who want to have gay sex with you but can't because you are taking a fucking car to Chicago

Right now there is a very buff Butch woman all alone in the Cafe car and she could be having steamy gay sex with you and be moving into your apartment if you were just willing to take the train to Chicago

This was probably my best post of the year, enjoy it once again
