Boston is officially infected (in a good way) from the ONE FLY MOTHA syndrome.NO! Please, I’m a fan and I pray nightly that we win in November, but enough with the worship! ENOUGH. He is a normal man, who, if elected, will not be very popular in 4 years. It’s going to take extraordinary people and means to fix what they have done to America. And hopefully he’ll be able to do it, but it won’t happen in 4 years. He is not a savior.
Comparing him to Lincoln is just, honestly, a little blasphemous.
Less blasphemous than melodramatic, but I agree.

what the internet is doing to our brains →
From an author who understands that “what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation,” this is a rather long (but good) article.

I love Calvino. Other great reads by the same author: The Baron in the Trees; The Path to the Spiders’ Nest; and, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler.
BOOK #16 - There’s no real narrative or plot, but the images Calvino summons are complex and wonderful. The book is ostensibly a conversation between Marco Polo and Kublai Khan, but it’s really a meditation on cities as institutions and living beasts. I really like this idea:
“Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else…Cities also believe they are the work of the mind or of chance, but neither the one nor the other suffices to hold up their walls. You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.”
