Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
11/1: words
This morning I finished Marjorie Perloff's Unoriginal Genius, which concluded with a discussion of Kenneth Goldsmith's Traffic. Right after I finished, Chris played me some of an ongoing AI conversation competition, and that seemed somehow perfect after reading about Goldsmith's transcription of traffic radio broadcasts. Throughout the day we popped in to hear more of the AI conversation, and this evening I Zoomed in to listen to an Ontario-based reading series with six writers. I especially enjoyed Angela Rawling's Anthropocento, composed from words and phrases (in multiple languages) she heard at an international environmental conference.
