always disorienting to find out the sage and revered philosophers whose essays i was being set as a student were in their thirties at the time, when i had them all filed as like maybe a decade younger than heraclitus (ie the age i am now)

anyway rip saul k, i am fairly certain i didn't get it and my own essays were all terrible

good lord, i barfed to his wine
for an entire summer and more

everyone did

our barf covered the lawns, that summer
the gas stations were filled to the brim
with franzia boxes

the trash cans, that is

unexplainable diapers
and emptied franzia sacks

those were the best days of my life
back in the summer of two-buck wine

hate to be petty here, but "franzia boxes" were produced by his father I believe.. this guy's big gift to the world was Charles Shaw, via Trader Joe's

Report from Twitter that Dave Foreman - founder of Earth First! and later the Rewilding Institute passed. Age 74. True one-of-a-kind human. A much needed militant voice in the 80s when ignoramuses like James G. Watt were propagandizing about how trees cause more pollution than cars. Any conversation with him left you feeling optimistic and motivated - a rarity!

Country singer Luke Bell, dead from an "accidental fentanyl overdose."

Ooops, I guess that was just the autopsy result. He died in August. I did a CTRL+F and didn't see his name itt.

RIP, what a loss. Saddest I've been at a musician's death for ages.

An incredible force. Got to see him live twice, once in the mid '90s and again in December 2019. His whole run of Impulse! albums from 1969 to 1975 or so is unimpeachable — not a bad one in the bunch, and some are life-changing.

Fuuuuck, what a legend
