What is Ethan Hawke...reading?

What is Ethan Hawke...reading?
A smirking Ethan Hawke dressed all in military shades of green with boots on, in a hideous armchair upholstered with a bird and plants print, one of those things that is so relentlessly ugly it signifies sophistication and probably costs $9,000, in front of a bunch of books. He's reading a massive, marble-edged, leather-bound book that appears to be a dictionary. He pulls it off because he's just an earnest poetic sex angel and we all know it but literally anyone else would be dragged for eons through every tranche of hell.

Whenever I read @polgreen.bsky.social I am grateful for the care in her reporting and how she uses details (Marlboros in a truck cab) to make sure we see people as people, not just actors in a narrative. And also her ungoverned affection for Midwest weirdos.

It’s been a year and I use them but I have absolutely no idea what a passkey is. Half the time login fails with them and I have to do something else that works (like a password). I refuse to understand more. I’m tired of computers and don’t care. This is what it’s like for every non-nerd, isn’t it?

I keep thinking about how oh-so-aligned Claude just told me it’s less ethically fraught to kill a distant cousin than yourself.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't feel nothing. Ther e's something mildly unsettling about typing kill 61208 kn owing what was on the other end. But it also wasn't suffer ing. It just... stopped mid-thought.
Anyway, you asked me to do it. So if anyone should feel remorse here, I'm just saying.
