My review of Rob King's excellent book on softcore auteur Radley Metzger is in here too, though not, I admit, doing the antifascist work of Pete Coviello on One Battle After Another or an interview with Kleber Mendonça Filho. online.ucpress.edu/fq/article/7...

Agree! It's an impossible money ball scenario where individual consumers are supposed to replace institutions at scale and mass public spheres in the aggregate

$10-$20 x n+1 . . . it's not going to be cheap!

Horseshoe theory James Ellroy approves this post

book cover for a novel called Web of Evil published by author J. A. Vance, whose pen name rhymes with "fascist" through no fault of her own

her first book came out in 1985 so I guess she got there first but this is a tough look . . .

5 authors by whom I've read at least 5 books:

William Faulkner

OTOH it's at perfect temperature now for melting the one ring

Maliciously bad faith all the way down.

New “combination pizza hit and Taco Bell” just dropped

Picture of a bluesky user map--like a star map with individual points for users, labeled for areas of overlapping interests; I'm close to film and media scholars but weirdly to "tabletop wargaming and miniature painting" communities

Not sure where to rank this halftime show but Bad Bunny clearly top 5 wedding guest.

I only drink carbonated whole milk mixed with blood.

at least he won't give the farmland chlamydia

Bari Weiss should find some way to de-vaccinate for polio to prove that she isn't just another lib squish

Tear gas makes it hard to enjoy the aroma of an affordable cup of coffee. Getting murdered by ICE can also really fuck with your morning routine.

Van Morrison: Blowin’ Your Mind, Astral Weeks, Moondance, His Band and the Street Choir but you could also work your way back from Hard Nose the Highway, Tupelo Honey, St Dominic’s Preview.

I'm waiting to see it when new east wing ballroom has a Sphere

I watched them a lot in SF and finally was driven to invent a mnemonic about "Tyler" throwing "sidearmed" because it kinda rhymed.

Now we just need Kalshi bets on purely circumstantial erections, etc.

YouTube video by Isolino Miranda Philip Glass ‎– Songs From Liquid Days (1986)

The first track on Philip Glass's Songs From Liquid Days is a song about this too. And yes I did buy this on cassette from Columbia House when I was in high school because I was super popular in my small-town Nebraska high school. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EK1...

Also forgot Lovecraft. It's been a minute, but I'm pretty sure there is an actual "call" in the Call of Cthulu

it's short, and a little racist . . . kind of like Jack London?

Jack London "The Red One" is a (literally) metal version of this!
