The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. I'm liking it a lot so far. It's undeniably Ellis, but he also feels more open and honest this time around. Maybe he's getting old and more comfortable in his own skin.
People trying to have long-form discussions on Twitter/X has baffled me since the beginning. It is decidedly not the right platform for that and it was never designed to be. In fact, its design clearly discourages any meaningful discourse. I have never been able to wrap my head around that site and its users.
The interface is a bit bare bones and 90's but I like it that way. It's a good and reliable client.
I'm reading a book on grief. Grief has been an important part of my life for a good long time now, but last year has been difficult. And things will only get worse in the next few years. I suppose I'm bracing myself, even if I know it doesn't help much.
I'd be perfectly fine if everything was just mixed mono. I see little value in stereo. I'm weird like that.
Can't help you there, I buy CDs and lossless copies from Bandcamp and Qobuz. Those work for me.
