I’d love to actually get it out into the world. I know some poets suggest writing a poem and then putting it in a drawer for 3 mos...this may have been more like 3 years!15 Aug 2026 14:47 +0000at://did:plc:6aqif2itlnnitfmcvq3xrfvr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt4w3olqok22https://bsky.app/profile/teaandtactics.bsky.social/post/3mt2qyojvb22gThis book sounds like it would have to be terribly boring and it is anything but. Fascinating and, believe it or not, hard to put down.14 Aug 2026 18:10 +0000at://did:plc:6aqif2itlnnitfmcvq3xrfvr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2qyojvb22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/teaandtactics.bsky.social/post/3mptubaa2gc2rHappy Semiquincentennial!

It is a problem that may be said to lack a coherent solution.” (p. 50) This sentence is a problem without a solution.

(King’s Command is a very distant second.) It is repetitive, tautological, and inconsistent, often in one sentence. Yet, when quoting Mao, remains fascinating. I would willingly sacrifice this to the LLM-Gods for the pain it causes when reading.

It would make reading less like a cross between proofreading and grading a poorly written exam.14 Jun 2026 16:58 +0000at://did:plc:6aqif2itlnnitfmcvq3xrfvr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mobajjl46c25https://bsky.app/profile/teaandtactics.bsky.social/post/3mmrzbdzf6k2ySuch a good poem. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n09/patricia-lockwood/rosarita26 May 2026 22:13 +0000at://did:plc:6aqif2itlnnitfmcvq3xrfvr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmrzbdzf6k2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/teaandtactics.bsky.social/post/3ml4pfvagyc2hSlightly diminish a book: War and a Cease-Fire Under War The Craft of War Piglet Moby…probably shouldn’t tweet this [contains quote post or other embedded content]05 May 2026 17:26 +0000at://did:plc:6aqif2itlnnitfmcvq3xrfvr/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml4pfvagyc2h
