Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Logorrhea is my new favorite word

They wouldn’t have personalities if liberals / leftists didn’t exist, their entire existence is based on Complaining (TM)

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

The 28th is one day.
You can make it many.

I heard the Pope dissed the shit out of JD Vance.

Fuck yeah.

Get his ass, Francis.

Mitch McConnell Vows To Continue Falling Down Stairs In Face Of Fascist Takeover WASHINGTON—Rebuking President Trump’s decision to pardon Jan. 6 rioters, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) staunchly vowed this week to continue falling down stairs in the face of an apparent fascist takeover. “I can no longer physically stand upright for a party that excuses a violent insurrection that targeted our Capitol,” the 82-year-old lawmaker said as he […]

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

I am completely in love with the movie SING SING and I think it’s imperative for everyone to watch it

I did not expect THE LAST SHOWGIRL (2024) to be as devastating as it was but man that story triggered something deep in my soul

Only Pam Anderson could play that role, and she did so brilliantly

I’ve seen the more popular of David Lynch’s oeuvre (Mulholland, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks), and I think it’s time to watch the rest

Starting with ERASERHEAD (1977) - it make not make sense scene by scene but comes together in the end - in a distinctly Lynchian way

Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey in CABARET (1972) directed by Bob Fosse

Watched CABARET for the first time today

Very timely

The speed at which corporations r ditching DEI proves they were never serious abt diversity, equity or inclusion. Those they sought to exclude were never meant to be included. Racism, misogyny & xenophobia - that’s their comfort zone, the settings they r familiar with & comfortable operating within.

Just ate my first Apple Pear ever and felt like Hellboy eating his first pancake IM OBSSESSED

I am 100000% certain my mental heath/peace of mind has immensely improved because I am no longer on Twitter

Was ready to sleep by 10pm, rewatched WAR OF THE WORLDS instead bc of this post

I don’t regret it! Haven’t seen it since it’s theatrical run, it’s a genuinely great movie

oh, your movie ends with the reveal that the characters are dolls in a child's toy box? oh wow the whole adventure took place in the limitless imagination of innocent youth? should we throw a party? should we invite Toei Animation?

I love the movie the substance cause she goes through all that just to keep working. Like oh I’m hot again I guess I’ll work some more. Weird bitch

Funny comic strip. A person asks another “excuse me, are you single?”. The other replies “umm yes”. The first person takes a spare chair, “cool thank you”. Illustration drawn in simplistic cartoon line art style. By Amii Illustrates.

*”easily offended” being a direct quote from a source who worked with the muskrat

Thinking about how much history is lost from the Twitter exodus- both large scale & personal.

Was just thinking how I needed recipe pics I posted, or old cat pics…

All because some big fat billionaire baby who’s easily offended* decided to destroy something that did a lot of good (mostly)

Do what I did one Saturday and hold a “Lars con Trier Marathon” Day and watch what it does to you

…lol.

Yeah, we went there.

Every movie in which the protagonist survives a horrifying ordeal and is carted away in an ambulance should end with the postscript, “Twenty years later, they died in medical debt.”

V for vendetta is such a good movie and I’m not bringing this up for any particular reason at this moment at all

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big
