imagine if there really were two of that guy.

A ★★★★½ review of Cloud (2024) Who knew the world of online reselling was so fraught with danger? What at first seemed faintly ludicrous soon began to feel spookily of the moment. Meaning, this exact moment. Like, as of a half hour...

Just letting you know, I appreciate these and the other works you highlight. I've got a copy of The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature headed my way for my Halloween read based on your Bulwark piece.

I didn't put him in the hospital, david

that's what you get for getting involved in a lust race

hey now

If you want to hit the ground running, don't begin your day by listening to "Yuma" by Justin Townes Earl.

oh gross no!

My wife just left for a 3-day business trip. My descent into madness can now begin.

"The whole environment of 'The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature,' both on and off the massacre site, feels like an open wound, or a contagious disease. One can’t help but want to walk away, but it will do no good. It will help nothing." ICYMI @faceyouhate.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/walking-aw...

This is a good piece that not only introduced me to Christopher Slatsky, whose work I plan to check out, but also gave me the kick in the butt to finally read “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.”

Watching the new THE NAKED GUN and remembering MICHAEL COLLINS.

I don't like reading in my old designated reading area anymore, because Kingsley used to join me there, and now doesn't.

I hope this doesn't make me a Nazi, but I'm watching last night's SNL, and I'm beginning to think Bad Bunny's comedic gifts have been somewhat overstated. And in fact, there's not a little bit of "laughing at him" going on here.

I have a vague memory of thinking IN DREAMS was a bit better than people were giving it credit for.

Most times you are. But this time you let me down, and Stephen King had to step in.

This is a very strange movie in a lot of ways, but I liked it. Lovely song. Didn't turn chickenshit, just weird. Thanks for inspiring me to watch it, *Stephen King*!!!

Larry Fessenden cast as guy who completely loses his shit.

It's weird seeing Terrence Howard in this, now that he's crazy.

I mean what more evidence do you need that he was obviously right.

Never seen this, it was heavily referenced in something I'm reading, and I thought "I think I own that, don't I?" And I do, so I'm now watching it.

This is how lame I am. It's October and I've only seen enough to compile a Top 8 List.
