Reply to TIL that there is an art installation in Burlington, Vermont that is called the world's tallest filing cabinet. It's name is "File Under So. Co., Waiting for". It was built in 2002 in response to years of delays building the Interstate 189 bypass into downtown Burlington by IAmDavidGurney
Saw that in passing to my honeymoon there’s a rad little antique store around the corner from it.

Just pointing out, I’ve also downvoted my own comment because it was a trait that I wasn’t happy with, but. I had grown and matured. Kinda.

My toxic trait is that I pitted every woman I dated against the unrealistic expectations of being with this woman.
Needless to say I’m a great catch.

I think House of Leaves is very much a modern example of this form of writing (and every other work in that genre) Right? HOL is a compilation of various notes and sketches of a persons experience in a house that appears to be haunted. It’s supposed to leave us the reader curious if what is being read real.

Ooo I know!
Ironically it was commonplace in literature to create a sense of realism in fiction. The authors would “redact” these names and places giving the reader the impression that the author wanted to protect certain privacies leaving the reader not knowing if the work was real or not. So Frankenstein was that much more terrifying
The more I learned about them the more I came to love them.

I’m going to go on a limb: between this and flint and others I wouldn’t be surprised if it ever came out that nestle and others were behind these tainted water supplies to ratchet up bottled water sales.
