Patrick Bateman, Jr. (Chapter 8) - Meathead Sep 27, 2026 25:41 “Where there was nature and earth, life and water, I saw a desert landscape that was unending, resembling some sort of crater, so devoid of reason and light and spirit that the mind could not grasp it on any sort of conscious level and if you came close the mind would reel backward, unable to take it in.

Patrick Bateman, Jr. (Chapter 7) - Netflix on the Moon Sep 23, 2026 20:33 “I stare into a thin, web-like crack above the urinal's handle and think to myself that if I were to disappear into that crack, say somehow miniaturize and slip into it, the odds are good that no one would notice I was gone.

Patrick Bateman, Jr. (Chapter 2) - Apple Picking Sep 6, 2026 52:04 “I had all the characteristics of a human being—flesh, blood, skin, hair—but my depersonalization was so intense, had gone so deep, that my normal ability to feel compassion had been eradicated, the victim of a slow, purposeful erasure.

Jellyfish - Part 2 Jun 7, 2026 42:03 As oceans grow warmer, more polluted, and increasingly devoid of fish, jellyfish are thriving. In some regions, vast blooms now choke entire coastlines, flourishing in conditions that kill more complex forms of life.

Mother's Day May 10, 2026 48:25 “Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons why you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It’s not just a question of how-to, you see; it’s also a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.”  ―  Stephen King Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for
