the space race may be the funniest point in history period and i'll stand by that. the US is like "yes whoever gets into space first will prove once and for all that our economic model is superior and that we are, in general, the superior country of superior and smarter people." then the soviets just went and did it and the US freaked out and needed to cover their ass so were like "WE MEAN THE MOON, WE MEAN THE FIRST TO LAND ON THE MOON."

it’s nice that James Joyce has tricked all of us into celebrating the anniversary of his future wife jerking him off. Happy bloomsday!

—The ways of the Creator are not our ways, Mr Deasy said. All human history moves towards one great goal, the manifestation of God. Stephen jerked his thumb towards the window, saying: —That is God.

Mr Deasy looked down and held for awhile the wings of his nose tweaked between his fingers. Looking up again he set them free.

From out of the ruin of the Great War, and from the cries of an Ireland starved and dismembered by empire, Joyce created a new Trinity: the liberated woman, the compassionate stranger, and the questing and visionary poet. It is the only one I believe in.

Happy Bloomsday
