Oh, way ahead of you there! Massive fan of that record! Probably the album I've listened to most over the past three years or so. A masterpiece!

Superb Rick Rubin interview with Trent Reznor on Rick’s Tetragrammaton podcast. I’m really loving the long-format, in-depth interviews he does on Tetragrammaton. Also loving your other recommmends this week.

Today's journal image is my all-time forever favorite self-portrait you've ever shared. Fan-frickin'-tastic!

I love the raw exposed ongoing battle with conflict and contradiction within. What a wholly, whole person, rounded and stuffed with awareness that seeps out through imagination. Wow!

As a naturally tidy person, I haven’t had to read Marie Kondo, so “Reading clouds your judgement” elicited a sharp intake of breath! On the other hand...knolling! 😁

Thank you for sharing Meg’s fave book! I’m interested in her book and movie choices...am pursuing Martin Edward books about the history and development and writing behind the rise of mystery and crime books !

Austin! This is a hilariously unfocused response, but someone linked to your book/blog saying "Great Artists Steal, but with LLMs" https://every.to/chain-of-thought/great-artists-steal-with-llms -- such a weird way to source you.

Well it’s like Lichtenberg said: “A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out.” 😂

I found Ozzy Osbourne's autobio in a Little Free Book Library and read it. I don't recommend purchasing it, but it was amusing enough. He seems to not have much self-knowledge; in such books by such people one expects them to hit bottom at some point and get sober; that doesn't happen in Ozzys book until 5-10 pages before the book ends.

Geezer is the intellectual of the group -- he wrote most of the lyrics and is a lifelong vegetarian, etc

Wow... lots of things for me to click on and read... later this evening! You've been busy! And thanks for the bit about a movie, "A Haunting in Venice" ... been looking for something. And... had to edit, this keeps me from focusing! Ha Ha. Oh well!
