Dumb idea, but I'm going to try to finish a New Yorker every day. I have a lot that are partially read stored up, and obviously this will help with the story project too.
- Invincible: Get Smart. In which we meet Fat Eve. I am conflicted about it, she's portrayed humanely but it mostly seems to be done so that we can see what a good guy Mark is.
- She-Hulk by Rainbow v4:Jen-Sational. Nice guest spots from Carol and Patsy.
- NYer of 11/18/24. Jackson Arn's streak continues with a visit to the NYC tattoo convention.
- NYer of 9/16/24. Photo-essay on "The World's Longest Yard Sale," stretching along Highway 147 from Michigan to Alabama.
- Stormbringer by Michael Moorcock. Oddly, I found the audio version easier to follow.
- NYer of 9/30/24. Madison defined a "faction" as "a number of citizens, whether amounting to a minority or majority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community."

- NYer of 3/27/2023. Mary Gaitskill updates "Secretary" by telling the story from an older woman's viewpoint in the #MeToo era.
- Green Arrow: Hunter's Moon written by Mike Grell. This is what "grim and gritty" was like in the 80s, post Dark Knight. It makes me wince now, though there's this cool gauntlet scene.
- The Nation of November 2024. "Rimbaud's Beach is only a mile from the 'Elephant Trunk'/ where dolphins leap up laughing and Russian women twirl,/ where Goldmore Road stretches, and beer like water flows, / where sailors drown among the nymphs." Saadi Youssef
