it’s beautiful to think One Battle inspired a whole new generation to read Thomas Pynchon’s wikipedia page
Hopefully tomorrow blueskiers will have turned away from their insufferable award show opinions and be back to posting their insufferable political opinions
The is no such thing as an Oscar snub. There is only Oscar nonsense.
A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.
Habermas dead. Arguably outlived the public sphere. apnews.com/article/juer...
Can’t wait for season three of One Piece. The whole cast is gonna be so ripped by then.
My daughter is obsessed with Vincent Price, and I had no idea how amazing he was until she showed me this scene from “The Raven” where Price and Peter Lorre have a wine tasting contest. Absolutely without irony one of the great scenes in cinema history.

I’ve decided to be really pedantic about “fewer” vs “less” but only when other people fuck it up.

Bart, does it strike you as odd that Uter disappeared and suddenly they're serving us this mysterious food called "Uterbraten"?
Louis is telling me that these are highly barkable times, and that he will not self-censor just to keep me comfortable.
I, for one, find Carney's push for less government accountability and diminished oversight of corporations quite concerning.

On Saturday, March 7th Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure.
As per Jello:
I’ve seen a lot of students worried that their papers will get flagged as AI because they’re already strong writers. Maybe that happens! All I can say is, when I suspect that an essay was written by AI, it’s because it’s a real piece of shit.
If you want to become a scholar, you have to read a lot, and some of it will be boring. There’s no “hack” for this, but the promise of one is always going to be tempting.
The playful, prolific use of hyperlinks in online journalism (eg Slate, Pitchfork) didn’t anticipate link-rot. Now so many articles are pock-marked with cryptic allusions that some long-dead link once explained. Weird how quickly a new style comes to feel more archaic than the traditional format

Crashing the global economy is a small price to pay to cater to people who think they have a cheat code for bringing Jesus back.
can we at least bring back disco, guys in short shorts, moustaches, and actors with interestingly flawed faces and bodies
It’s like how all the Spanish horror films under Franco take place in Britain.
Some of the people plotting out how Dems can win senate seats in red states are starting to sound like Kevin Costner explaining magic-bullet theory in JFK.
Almost 3x as many Americans consider homosexuality “morally unacceptable” compared to Canada.
Honestly worth studying why a country that shares so much material culture with the US holds on to such different values.
Got new glasses and I’m now seeing so clearly it’s giving me vertigo.

You should probably just pin this post.
Hey guys I'm beginning to suspect Carney's actually kind of a terrible person and a liar.
I guess there’s momentary joy, but the replacements are always worse. In a couple of years the entire admin will be made up of dudes who have been banned from Applebee’s.
