Bobcat Goldthwait is not as cool as his name would suggest. He should have a more normal name. "Robert Goldthwait." Or "Harold."

THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY is a hoot and a holler. I love criminals, and homosexuals, and crime

the "reading that there's a kollywood remake of THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY" to "watching the kollywood remake of THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY" pipeline

It's weird that the two kinds of loris are "slow" and "slender"

when I worked as a gas station cashier, I would often sell energy drinks to Mormon missionaries -- assuring that my ass will get cast into Outer Darkness when the time comes

I want to know what Victor Hugo scholars think of the poetry that the Cao Đài claim to have received from him via séance, his writings from beyond the grave

one summer I bought a big Victor Hugo anthology, one of those cheap + shitty editions of public domain books that certain publishers like to pump out. You know the kind of book I mean. I was pretty young, nine or ten.

over the past five or so years I went from liking Joan Didion pretty good, but not nearly as much as everybody else seemed to like her, to liking Joan Didion pretty good, more than everybody else seems to like her -- without my own opinion actually changing

I will never see another AVATAR movie. I hated that shit when it came out and everyone was like, "No Lonnie that's bullshit this is a good movie." But over time people came to agree with me—came to believe that they had always agreed with me—that it sucks. & now people like it again? Not fooling me

POINT BREAK is a great movie?? Why didn't anybody tell me [in fact, several people have told me this over the years] oh yeah. Well didn't they tell me more convincingly

It's your birthday, Duane.

Oh I mean he's a nice enough man and thoughtful too but he has no authority over dogs and he cannot communicate with horses. If you know what I mean

It's funny to be, like, "now that I'm done studying literature for the quarter, I can finally get back to serious reading."

my other seminar paper this quarter wound up being considerably more insane (and has 3x as many citations! what's up with that?)

if you are mean to me I will get this ruster to beat your ass

I'm an American: sorry to all Icelanders, but if I catch some fucking gnome sneaking into my house to lick all my spoons, I am shooting it with a gun -- no matter how malnourished it seems.

downloading articles through sci-hub instead of jstor, even though I have extremely good institutional access, just as a matter of principle

I could survive Punishment Park. I would use kung-fu, and flips.

Fake references should lead to academic sanctions for the researchers involved, from both industry as well as from institutions. It needs to happen now, before every norm of academic integrity ends up sacrificed on the altar of production.

following accounts that post homoerotic TINTIN fan art. unclear whether I'm entering my franco-belgian comics era or whether I'm becoming a fujoshi

That's Alana Tomato. Curling is her favorite sport to watch. She's normal.

If there was a national curling league, people would watch it. I'm people.

"Now, in general, Stick to the boat, is your true motto in whaling; but cases will sometimes happen when Leap from the boat, is still better."

35mm screening of PUNISHMENT PARK tonight. Let's have a bad time baby !

the blue canton in the american flag represents wal mart. the number of stars represents all the wal marts we've got here. there's a lot of them

They just don't make 'em like they used to

It rules how weird C.L.R. James is. If you only ever read BLACK JACOBINS maybe his scholarship seems normal--but no! His book on cricket puts forward one of the best marxist theories of aesthetics in town. His theory of fascism is buried in the middle of a book about MOBY-DICK. Nobody does like him.

revisiting Hart Crane instead of working, spending some time with the conclusion to the second part of his (great) poem "Voyages."

I invented a cocktail once: a friend left some nonalcoholic beer at my apartment before moving to New Mexico, so I mixed some vodka in. Call that, "alcoholic beer."

at the end of december I always try to identify something that I did for the first time that year, and something I hope to have done for the last time. In december 2024, it was the same thing for both: I tried "mountain dew" that year.

Any of you photography girls or nonbinaries read José Muñoz DISIDENTIFICATIONS? Wondering how practitioners have received the chapter "Photographies of Mourning" (or, not to beg the question, if practitioners have done so)

etiquette changes over time: today it is has become acceptable to listen to Sublime, at least in the summer. And, of course, even hard-and-fast rules have their exceptions: in San Diego, for example, it is considered acceptable to listen to Sublime year-round. This is widely regarded as a misfortune

Dougal Dixon MAN AFTER MAN gotta be the most dehumanizing book I've ever read. Not even in like a bad way. Not in a good way either though. Just more successful at evoking an aesthetic feeling of post-humanity than any of the philosophical or theoretical work I've read criticizing anthropocentrism.

I wish the government would just leave us alone. That's what I would do, if I were the government

One parishioner who lacks legal immigration status "learned about his rights for the first time at a freedom school and shared his new knowledge with his landscaping colleagues and neighbors, telling them not to open their doors during a warrantless raid.”

Apparently, some people thought I was joking, and I don't even remotely regret to inform you all that this was 100% real.

"As a chef, I have always thought of the tomato as the test of how good a simple ingredient can be, an irreducible unit of flavor that reminds one that food is a sharpener of life. When I cook, I want everything to have the shocking immediacy of that first picked tomato."

Matt Yglesias is like the clown from IT: if we all decide to ignore him, he will just go away. But we all have to decide to so this, and we all have to follow through on it.

Last week was "grim visage week." This week is "so are we at war or not week." And next week? Who knows?

trans people have done some really amazing things throughout history, and I can't wait to see some of the things we do moving forward. I'm just glad to be here for some of that, contributing in my own small way.

I am ultimately optimistic, if only in this very narrow sense: my memory is long and my judgment about the ultimate meaning of our suffering, suspended. I remain willing to participate in the ongoing transformation of the society in which I live.

you know when I lived in Spokane I met a lot of trans people from the "militia country" that runs from eastern Washington through the Idaho panhandle to western Montana. Not a safe place to be visible trans, that's for sure. I did antifascist work there before coming out, scariest part of my life.

Transphobia doesn't scare me. It doesn't really even interest me. We're more interesting than they are.

it is sort of startling how little cis people care about us in general. like i feel like i remember a lot of concern about, like, prop 8 in CA back in the day? and that was frankly lower stakes than what trans ppl are facing today
