Quotant Qoutables vol. 39

"When I first started writing, I tried to follow more of those traditions, which generally meant trying to write like really awful versions of various popular literary fiction writers. And it took me a long while — namely, many years of trying to write a book an agent could sell to a major — but after a while I could tell not only was I not at all good at things like intentionally developing characters or constructing a linear, narrative plot, I also was not actually doing what came naturally to me, what really came out when I was angry, impassioned. So to make a long story short, after never writing that agent-sellable book, I kind of snapped, and started pouring out all the sound and mania that had welled up in me in trying to please a master I learned I didn’t even really respect. I think in order to really do something right, for me I have to be totally mystified by it to some extent, and most linear fiction is more interested in explaining or telling a story, rather than creating labyrinth, logical fallacy, mirage. I’ve always tended in art most towards not things that quantified the world or arranged it, or even provided a reflection, but ones that made it deeper, more terrifying or awe-inspiring, like where the fuck did this come from, and how do I touch it even more?"

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 73

while all you Ayn Rand worshiping stub-dicks were pinching a pissy fit over manufactured non-menaces like the Affordable Care Act making your Mi-Ma bite the curb and Benghazi draining the blood from eagles to be used for Obama's Voodoo Cannibal Sex Rites, the Adminstration did something that was IN ACTUAL FOR REAL REALITY sketchy and awful:

White House Abolishes Freedom of Information Act Requests

you don't care, though. too dry. not enough blood and thunder.

stay stupid and hopeless. prosperity awaits if you shut your fucking mouth and take your medicine.

and that's why i don't talk the politics.
