A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

The capitalist class has been programming all of us, with the intention of making the general populace incapable of deep reading.

Maybe, just possibly, the broad swathe of news readership is already aware of the fact that DT is insane, and that truisms that carry headlines seem crazy themselves. One of the first things journalists claimed 5 years ago was that they had no idea how to cover the guy in the media, because it was all so blatantly f****I* up from the get-go, with no cover-ups or remorse or even guile.

Deep reading, yes. I was talking to somebody the other day who said they started reading Moby Dick but put it down because they couldn't take the slow pace and long discursive passages. Actually I know several people who have confessed to me that they can't read books anymore because they are used to having text broken down into small easily-digested bits. The "attention economy" has wrecked deep reading for a lot of folks.

The Presidency is not a pretty job. Whoever it is will sanction reprehensible deeds; foreign policy can’t help but be an endless flying shit-show. And things at home are hobbled in Congress. Terrible things happened on President Obama’s watch, just as they have, and will, during any incumbent’s regime. Kamala Harris will get ripped to shreds by her detractors, but at least she isn’t visibly a pathological menace to everyone. The other camp will flatly disagree, of course. They’re gagging for an empire of crime.

Personally, I stopped using Twitter/Facebook/etc, and have dramatically reduced my time on Reddit. Instead, I read three longform news emails a day (New York Times, Morning Brew, Letters From an American). I use Bluesky and Mastodon some, but the non-algorithmic chronological feed means that I pop in and see new posts, then close the app after 90 to 240 seconds and then go on with my day. I plunked down money for a subscription to The Paris Review and read that alongside one other literary journal (currently POETRY Magazine, which I am about to swap out with Beloit Poetry Journal).

My brain is happier, my focus is more focused.

I glance at The Guardian. I subscribe to The Baffler and Jacobin and Salvage. I think I'm going to let Jacobin lapse, though. Salvage ... well, it's a nonprofit communist cooperative, but it would be nice if they published a *little* more often. And I decided to support Hellgate, a local, worker-owned NYC-focused web publication. No social media. No spyphone.

Yes, I think it's possible to reverse the damage. A few years ago I felt my attention getting fragmented, and detached from the online world (mostly). I sat down and read "Memoirs from Beyond the Tomb" by Chateaubriand (1768-1848), a few thousand pages, and got deeply into history and French literature. I also have subscriptions to the New York and London Review of Books. It's so much better that way, reading carefully edited pieces by informed people, instead of hot takes from random people.

None. I’d done enough reading on TM…and there’s some disagreement about whether the cost is actually worth it. I dunno. I just gave it a shot. The only trick was that I ended up picking up a Sanscrit mantra because I just could not get English words to not generate more discursive thought.

Dems never liked Kamala. They just hate Trump more. When I saw how she was rolled out in July, all I heard was "Welcome to the Machine". That's all she is, a figurehead for the Dem machine. At least Trump has campaigned and campaigned for his support. He's endured investigations, impeachments, lawsuits and even a bullet. People genuinely like him. Kamala's done nothing, yet somehow, he's the "threat to democracy". Good luck to us all if Kamala wins in November.

One of the biggest gifts my mom gave me was to play her copy of THE big Brasil '66 record when I was wee. And to let me play the album once I could be trusted with a tone arm! Ensured I'd always be cheered and cheerful later in life when hearing Mendes and his crew.

Sure and you also get (in my case much needed) excercise, too.

I feel you. I can tear through a book if it's something of real interest to me. Also, always intriguing buddha mindfulness.

I’m off to the back recesses of a local cemetery to practice mindfulness on my guitar. It’s great because all the sources of angst are underneath the lawn, no doubt behaving themselves better than they did in life. Haven’t had any complaints yet. Thanks for the radio show! Be well!

Kamala Harris sure talks a good game, no doubt about that. However, this voter would be highly interested on just how she stands on the issues.

We were supposed to find out on Tuesday, but that didn't really happen. She seemed more interested in getting Trump. And he let her, so he's culpable, too.

Nothin to do with luck. More like a leader that is sensible, levelheaded, decent, LAW-ABIDING and has a sense of humor.
