Look at these absolute boyos.

Shelve in haste, repent at leisure.

WAAMA, etc. Flann O'Brien

WAAMA, etc. Buchandlung.

Maul the library

"WHERE'S MY CHE TEE"

The necessity doesn't make it easier to take. Hopefully some form of restoration is part of the project.

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks

Carole Lombard y Robert Stack en el set de To Be or Not to Be (Ernst Lubitsch, 1942).

N Hem FTW

Yes, a case study in De Palma's career-long tightrope act between "harsh/truth" and "lurid/exploitative"...but it has stuck in my mind enough to want to see again. Nice to see it get a (rare!) "Top 5" bouquet.

So conflicted about Casualties of War that I had to buy it on dvd to rewatch for first time in 36 years (haven't got to it yet)

Haha! Amazing

"Is that a bolt-action Mannlicher-Carcano in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

Where are these magical €6 beers? Dubliners are wondering.

Sour faced autocrat

Kiss Me Deadly. Hammer's corruption stinks up an office. "Open a window!'

Showed the young lad Kiss Me Deadly last night. Had forgotten the marvellous moment when Hammer has been "interviewed" after his first run-in with the Soberin gang. He leaves, the detective curls his lip and says "Open a window!"

Why isn't Aladdin in The Lion King?
Why isn't Homer Simpson in The Godfather?
Why isn't Iron Man in Schindler's List?

Rahaeli is always an essential read every time a moderation controversy occurs. Anyone who thinks it would be easy to create and enforce moderation policies has never worked in the field

Hope you enjoy...

Fwiw, I read Brian earlier in the year and absolutely loved it.

Been hearing about the new 'AI-based instant translation AirPods', and it's another reminder that companies see languages as a problem needing products to 'fix' it, rather than languages being one of the best opportunities for personal growth, broader understanding and for potential human connection
