To be reprinted this November by New York Review Books. Embarrassing to admit that I did not know that Jack Kerouac had a daughter, a gifted writer whom he kept at a distance through his life; fascinating memoirist novel, a darker/female version of On the Road.

Too many people are hating on this song out of nowhere. More people should be hating on the band name Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, which makes no sense and caused me physical pain to write out.

Never really heard the lyrics of "Home" until yesterday and hadn't realized it's like "Peanut butter, apple sauce, I love the way your top comes off, oh golly gee, let's have some tea" Straight up Baby Shark for adults. What the hell was that all about

I guess in retrospect I should have tweeted something like “band called Orc City with a song about 10 thousand dead orc guys” but such is life
Mark Hill@mehil5 Jul 2025
Came across the Orc City guy’s book a while back when he made some other bad tweet but didn’t make a big deal of it… feel like one of those guys who was at the Sex Pistol’s first gig

There is a tipping point fast approaching. European leaders are not reading the room. The empty words and complicity in this horror show will not be tolerated much longer. The people are screaming now.
