It was an awesome show and he was great at leaning against lockers.

We pay Jared Leto because Jordan Catalano. I don't make the rules.

I enjoyed One Battle After Another but given the choice I would definitely hire the characters in Andor to do my revolution.

I'm praying for a social media that is nothing but pictures of the young Robert Redford from now on. Is that too much to ask?

Sample online no longer working! But DM me if you'd like a PDF of the introduction.

That would be brilliant. I wish it cost less!

The connection is via the act of burning money --done by a gang of young boys in Greene's "The Destructors" and also done by the KLF when they burned a million pounds on Jura in 1994-- thinking about how burning money becomes a weirdly unreadable "adolescent" act. Thank you for asking!
