And Master Nathaniel’s pleached alley was growing yellower and yellower, and on the days when a thick white mist came rolling up from the Dapple it would be the only object in his garden that was not blurred and dimmed, and would look like a pair of gigantic golden compasses with which a demiurge is measuring chaos.

He believes that the
bourgeois-behaving unit of meaning, a “meme” as some of the theorists call it, spreads strictly from parents to children, like eye color.
I had the WILDEST night in the fetid swamps of Hillary hate.
In Twin Peaks episode 17, what was the deal with that semi-transparent image of Cooper’s face that appeared over the whole screen for part of the scene in the station? I think it appeared in response to something specific, and might have said a few things I couldn’t make out?
What I mean is: was that the kind of weird David Lynch visual that has a relatively obvious meaning (like Bob as a floating orb – even if you aren’t expecting the visual you think “ah, that’s Bob”), or was it the kind that doesn’t?
If there was an obvious (or even “obvious”) meaning I missed it. My intuitive reaction was that it indicated the onscreen Cooper was no longer the same / “our Cooper” / trustworthy (?) – like there was some new bifurcation in Cooper, and one part of him was trying in vain to communicate with us (as a superimposed image), while the other one remained in the station. Or something. And I mentally connected this to disconcerting Cooper stuff in ep. 18 after the “crossing” (his behavior, body language, and cadence in the in Judy’s scene were very Evil Coop-like)
The use of the word “biography” here is just a wiki convention, but I love thinking of these two brief paragraphs as someone’s “biography” in the usual sense of the word

First, here’s my one-line summary of the whole book:
“NK is a non-Confucian, non-Marxist racist ethnostate most closely resembling Hirohito’s Japan, which views its chosen people as inherently virtuous in a ‘pure’ childlike way that makes them unable to fend in the nasty impure world without a strong leader, who is consistently portrayal as maternal, an indulgent protector under whom the chosen people can give free reign to their childlike impulses.”
(The book is mostly a study of NK’s propaganda (specifically the kind made for internal audiences), so most of the following quotes are about propaganda.)
Quotes under the cut
Referring to Stealing Indians, James continued: “Let’s leave the title for another day. This 2016 book has a blurb from Chinua Achebe. Achebe died in 2013.” Other dead authors who apparently provided Smelcer with blurbs over the years include Norman Mailer, Saul Bellow, and J.D. Salinger.
Communication is key, and for this straight couple, the laundry list of “things I’m really into” is longer than usual. But once they get it all out in the open, they’re #1 at doing sex!
