not doing too good mental health wise. does anybody have anything fun to read?

superchunk??

I can't even fathom how high I would need to be to write out "mental object ie mobject"

(Also, "writing is unnatural [...] not good for everyone" certainly explains a lot.)

i think i was banned from their subreddit for posting that the writers put themselves in a corner where her campaign absolutely ran on the democrats "losing south africa"

don't forget that she won because Lee Atwater and Karl Rove did the "would you be more or less likely to vote for John McCain if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?" robocall nationwide in the general against Bill Clinton. this is presented as a good thing

Miners Right to Strike Committee Police attack Revolutionay Union cadre leading miners’ right-to-strike march of thousands in Charleston, August 25, 1975. I HAVE TWO stories to tell. The first is about a massive wave of mili…

"LaRouchies held a press conference (as a non-existent Labor Party) and denounced the MRTSC as agents of Britain seeking to destroy the American coal industry. Teams of Moonies cruised beer joints across southern West Virginia distributing a tract denouncing coalfield communists as enemies of God."

gotta recommend the writings of Mike Ely, who was industrializing with the Miners' Right to Strike Committee (part of the Revolutionary Union, before they became the revcoms) in south WV at the time, on the successes and failures of antiracist mine organizing www.socialisthistory.ca/PDF/Kasama/a...

boss makes a dollar, i make a dime. everyone contributes here at the mint

very true!!

what are any of these paul weitz movies after 2003. there's not a movie where dennis quaid is george w. bush & goes on american idol & is threatened by gay islamic terrorists. there's not a romcom about the princeton admissions office starring paul rudd & tina fey that immediately followed 30 rock.

chris seems perfectly nice on all those episodes of blank check but feels like best case would have been a catastrophic flop leaving behind a weird curio that people started to be like "wait, maybe that really was pretty good despite the overly-stylized cgi?" about in the last few years

Dear all, The following appears, so I'm told, in last month's 'Locus'... "Film rights to MICHAEL MOORCOCK's Elric series were optioned by Mythology, with writer/showrunner Glen Mazzara of 'The Walking Dead' attached, via [Mike's agent]." Best, John. ___________________________________________________________________________ Join The Nomads of the Time Streams, the International Michael Moorcock Appreciation Society Reply With Quote

then in the 2010s it went to Mythology who did Altered Carbon, House with a Clock in Its Walls, Guadagnino's Suspiria, the Slender Man movie etc. then when that folded it went to New Republic (1917, AmbuLAnce, the recent Transformers)

CNN, 2/24/2003 NEW YORK (Variety) -- Universal Pictures has joined in optioning "The Elric Saga," a multi-part, Tolkein-esque fantasy series written by Michael Moorcock, for development as a potential big-screen trilogy. The literary series began with 1972's "Elric of Melnibone." Universal's option deal with production company Depth of Field covers 11 books -- the original six installments of the series and five subsequent novels that touch on the saga. The film adaptation, which will be produced but not written or directed by Depth of Field partners Chris and Paul Weitz, is conceived as a potential trilogy whose first installment will be culled from the series' first six volumes. The producers plan to shop the book to writers and directors. The novels are sensual and atmospheric sword-and-sorcery tales that center on Elric, a brooding albino warrior who presides over an unruly, decadent island nation. The novels follow Elric on a series of adventures, in which he is betrayed by his cousin, sent into exile and attempts to come to terms with his own humanity. "We have loved this series since we were kids and can appreciate it even more as adults. It's a sophisticated, literate, philosophically dense fantasy -- a sort of 'Matrix' of the sword-and-sorcery genre," Chris Weitz said. Moorcock oversaw the sci-fi magazine New Worlds and helped usher in the "new wave" sci-fi movement of the 1960s and '70s. He also performed in the British hard rock band Hawkwind and will co-produce the movie project.

Empire, 5/29/2007 Exclusive: Weitz Brothers Making Elric Paul to direct fantasy adaptation? So his adaptation of The Golden Compass is already being hyped by studio New Line as the new Lord Of The Rings (rather inaccurately if you ask us, since the books share little in common). But that’s not enough fantasy limelight for the guy who, up until now, was best known for small-scale comedies like American Pie and About A Boy. Nope, along with his brother and former co-director Paul, Chris Weitz is going to take on the biggest fantasty-literature property as yet untouched by movieland: Michael Moorcock’s Elric saga. Elric of Melniboné, aka Elric Kinslayer, aka The White Wolf first appeared in print in 1961, and is the anti-hero of more than a dozen books. A physically weak, perpetually sickly albino who’s the outcast Emperor of a race of cruel, ancient decadent people, he’s no musclebound Conan-type, instead drawing his power from the spirit-sucking runesword Stormbringer, an evil entity with whom he struggles for his own soul. And he’s frankly one of the greatest fantasy characters out there – albeit one who’s going to be fiendishly hard to make work on screen. “Of the great classic fantasy series it’s the one that hasn’t been done yet,” Weitz tells Empire online. “My brother Paul and I liked those books growing up and we’ve met Michael Moorcock and he trusts us to take those books forward.” The Weitz’s Depth Of Field production company will be behind the adaptation, although no director is yet attached. Weitz does have one in mind, though: “I’d really like it if my brother directed them,” he says.

looks like it was Chris and Paul Weitz at the time, coming hot off Antz/American Pie/Nutty Professor II: The Klumps/Down to Earth/About A Boy. instead they split and Chris did Golden Compass and Twilight: New Moon and Paul did... Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant?

oh of course I’m just goofing bc they seem so ubiquitous on my parts of the internet

1986 schwinn mirada in maroon from r/xbiking. it's got all silver hardware, sweptback bars, a brooks, a front rack and the tiniest rear rack

hate to admit it but it will probably end up xbiked

1992 schwinn mirada sport (i think that might be the next step down in quality). it's teal and fluorescent chartreuse

it also came in eye-searing pink with speckles, or later, in the 90s, this:

1987 schwinn mirada in teal. it’s an 80s “road bike geometry with extra heavy tubing” style all terrain bike with 26” tanwalls, a 24/34/44 triple and 12-28 cassette. the handlebars and stem are matching teal and the seat is silver vinyl. it was in a barn and smells like cigarette smoke

got a new project bike for $20… but what should I do with it?

imagine how much safer it would be if they all were air traffic comptrollers

an inspiration to us all
