Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"--that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. QT of @avidreader1000 Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no c...

La Boca Is All Smoke, No Fire The Argentinean chef Francis Mallmann is notorious for his love of cooking over open flames. With his New York début, he fizzles out.

It feels inelegant to say you should read my latest review because it’s very negative. You should read my latest review because it’s insane. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

His head sticking out of the helmet is a good bit

A wooden vinyl record player stand. On top sits a turntable from audio-technical. The shelf below is quite short and contains several CD jewel cases, a CD player, and a CD folio. If you zoom in you can see the CDs are: - O from Cirque du Soleil - Romanza by Andrea Bocceli - A Winter's Solstice VI by the Windham Hill Players - Summer by George Winston - Shepherd Moons by Enya - The Bodyguard Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Classics by Request Vol 3 brought to you by Victoria's Secret - Anam by Clannad - Quidam from Cirque du Soleil - The Visit by Loreena McKennitt - Seal's self-titled album. - Röyskopp's Night Out Live EP - The Makin' Magic Album by DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - Heroes Symphony/The Light by Philip Glass - The Outernational Sound by The Thievery Corporation. The shelf below is tall enough to hold vinyl records vertically and is packed full of albums whose spines are mostly unreadable at this distance. A single vinyl cover is set facing out and is the main focal point of the photo: Chuck Mangione's Children of Sanchez. It is a white cover with a photo of Mangione playing his flugelhorn in an arid landscape. He is dressed in black. Both his hair and red scarf are suspended by the breeze.

Gotta be my favorite flugelhorn artist. By a mile

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

Robert Prosky in Christine. He looks angry. He is wearing a white collared shirt, top button unbuttoned, and a dark tie. He is wearing a dark olive vest.

Christine is good but I'm really enjoying this performance on this particular rewatch

A crudely drawn message reads: "HOW ARE PPL MAKING THESE". The background is blue and the text is overlapping layers of deep red and gold, mimicking the Mamdani Serif font used in Mamdani's mayoral campaign.

Never forget that a Democratic US Attorney’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz for downloading JSTOR PDFs contributed to his suicide but AI firms’ decision to download everything ever will be a justification for hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer bailouts and legal exemptions.

If you go to Maru coffee in LA and they have the sesame pretzel croissant you should get it

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

I would love to hear this piece performed live again. Totally surprised me the first time I heard it. Performing it must be a blast youtu.be/YsQVM2_HKAg?...

Ah, GBBO finale night. The end of longing season

Seriously, you need to read this. Last Saturday in Echo Park was nuts as cops preemptively invaded the area before the World Series was even over and assaulted people with batons, horses and tear gas. @shoton35mm.bsky.social pieced the violence together in fantastic reporting.

Anyways periodically I'll look up what started the French Revolution and say "oh, that's it?"

I really need to inventory my DVDs and make sure I don't accidentally buy something I already have

If you never watched old Italian horror movies, you have no idea just how hard the soundtracks went.

This is a movie about a writer being stalked by a killer. I want you to imagine what the theme is gonna sound like. Got an idea in your head? Imagine it before pressing play.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Swan Boy "Read it while driving"

swanboy.com by @bransonreese.bsky.social brings so much joy

I'm not rushing to try it but I can imagine this would be really good. Olive oil and sea salt is another novel ice cream topping so there is a precedent for high-fat toppings. Butter would actually be less fat because of its water content. But could you do this with brown butter? 🤔

Dems don't take the bait. Don't come to the table. They're coming apart. If he's this mad about it, that means what you're doing is working
