Captain Abemerica. Saving the world, and stopping to smell all the flowers.

So glad to be present at a very full @AnselmHouseUMN for a talk by Dan Siedell on modern art.

Current listening: Tyshawn Sorey’s Verisimilitude, a beguiling fusion of jazz & classical (a fusion that’s incredibly fertile at the moment).

“You are the Product.” John Lanchester, brilliant as always, in the London Review on why Facebook is terrifying.

D is for dreary.

Stunning: “The Majestic Marble Quarries of Northern Italy”, h/t Prufrock News.
