You may want to mute this account for a while because I feel I may have to individually insult every member of the outgoing administration in crude and personal ways
Mike Pence you repressed joyless would-be witchfinder, every time you spoke you always looked like you were straining to expel an enormous bolus of your own hypocrisy from your clenched sphincter
Betsy DeVos you blandly foolish soulless entitled child-stealing witch, rotting like a corpse inside your Chanel suit
All the generals, you spineless buzz-cut phallus-brained plastic Spartans fawning and wriggling to distract yourself from your moral cowardice
Kayleigh McEnenay, you evacuated husk of a mean-girl cheerleader, the cavity where your heart once was pumped full of spite and moronic lies
Bill Barr you vast pompous pus-filled bladder of casuistry, you are an enemy of justice, bloated with resentment and cruelty, wobbling like a jelly at the feet of the oligarchs
Jared Kushner you vacuous dainty preening overpromoted nub of mediocrity, squeezed like an entitled smear of toothpaste into a silk suit bought with tear-stained dollars wrung out of the suffering tenants of your slum apartments
Ivanka Trump you monstrous slug of vanity, you infantile ninny so marinaded in self-regard that in your pea brain you believe we ought to love you for your crimes
Mike Pompeo, you bubble, you booby, you flatulent zero, that roiling in your ample guts that you mistake for world shaking significance is just the acid reflux of irrelevancy
Don Junior, you scabrous single-nostriled unloved elephant-murdering human wreckage, vibrating with bitterness and impotent rage at all the opportunities you’ve squandered
Sarah Sanders, you crude hulking beetle-browed bully, working your multiple chins as you masticated another stinking quid of falsity, spitting again and again on the people you were supposed to inform
Interlude: all you staffers and interns, so eager to crunch your way in your shiny new work shoes over the bodies of the poor and powerless, I smite you and cast you out one by one
Eric Trump, you pallid clammy suppurating nocturnal semi-human grub, your absence of charisma is your only notable trait and the act of flushing you from memory will so be smooth and painless that in a month people will find it hard to picture your moon face
Rudy Giuliani, you capering cartoonish skull-faced bag of graft and corruption, too stupid even to ask who’s pulling your strings just so long as you can cake your crusty face in tv make-up and clack your jaw at a camera
And of course Stephen Miller, you weeping pustule upon the social body, you dreg, you homunculus, you noxious slime felched from the gaping cavity of Jim Crow, one day may you find yourself walking barefoot across hot sand, desperate for water, crying for your missing child
With that I'll rest a while, and go to find a street corner to dance on.

I've been traveling for a while, and some good book and music mail was waiting for me when I got back. I also bought some things in Paris. So, a thread of the TBR / TBListened pile
Gallimard are doing a series of political tracts. Badiou, political crime writer Didier Daeninckx and a collective of historians taking down Zemmour's distortions of French history
Two translations from @archipelagobks that I can't wait to read: @a_nathanwest's version of Hermann Burger's last novel Brenner and Maureen Freely's version of Sevgi Soysal's autobiographical prison novel Dawn.

Uvalde should lay to rest the myth of the ‘good guy with a gun’ being an effective protection for anyone or anything.
TX has more guns per capita than any state in the US, US has more guns than any other country in the world.
Also US cops are trained to protect themselves with their guns, not the public prospect.org/justice/police…

Carlson has same pseudo-decent talking point. But this is what mourning looks like - people angry and sad enough to want to do something, rather than pretending it’s like the damn weather.
There is a posture of learned helplessness adopted by US politicians in the face of this and many other problems. Words like ‘tragedy’ drain away agency.
These deaths are the result of policy. In other countries policy was changed and these events became vanishingly rare. See UK after Dunblane, Australia after Port Arthur
