I remember being so annoyed by Wall Street 2, I went home and wrote up a different treatment.

Collective imagination just hoping for Bladerunner interactions...

What do you get the guy who has everything? A special edition set of his favorite SF series ...

Glad to see both my alma mater on that list...

I wear my RITOS shirt with pride...

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Ever wonder why David Lynch called Kafka his brother?

This quote reminds me of the "Teddy Bear Picnic" sketch on KitH: "so where were you if this picnic is a story?" youtu.be/voc2eYy_i1s?...

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges was released 53 years ago today and it changed my life. For me, it was the first album that sounded like what rock and roll should be. Hearing it, I suddenly felt less alone in the world.

Saw the Testament of Ann Lee, which then led me to this Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college 1. Words, words, words. (Real name, I swear) 2. Reader Response Theory 3. Dystopia Writing Workshop 4. Literature of the Transition (Victorian through Modernity) 5. Narrative Fiction Writing I tested out of math/science.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Hunter Thompson said this in 1972, like a goddamn prophet seeing into the future. Our future.

I was in the entertainment feed, watching episode 44 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon and monitoring ambient audio for keywords in the unlikely event that a human said something important.

So, I know a lot of people really liked DEATH BY LIGHTENING, but given the current weather patterns I'd like to note a more particular case -- Death by Blizzard / Death by Snow -- Roscoe Conkling (played by Shea Whigham in DBL) DIED IN A BLIZZARD walking home from work in NYC.

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest American songwriter that no one remembers, Blaze Foley. Give him two minutes and he might change your life.

I just thought everyone should see this

I love my city

I miss local ads in the theaters.

Seriously. The brass buttons.

literally the villain in every movie ever

Last night at 4 in the morning the end of December, my 4 year old got me out of bed. She couldn't sleep. My first assumption is she also had "Famous Blue Raincoat" going through her head, as I often do this time of year. (She did not.) youtu.be/DHqqlm9yf7M?...

World’s slowest Death Note

To be clear, it is the subject of the song that passed. Not any member of Le Tigre. Saw them at the second Knitting Factory (on Leonard). Show was great.

The first moon phase watch was created by a werewolf who worked for Patek Philipe so that he could always know whether he was going to turn into a werewolf that night. This is the only thing that makes sense.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

This is the new normal

Weissand Effect

For us, the action is the juice. If you weren't sick of me hearing me go on about HEAT, that's just one of twelve holiday '95 movies that grossed over $50 million domestic that we discuss on the latest episode of the Sports Alcohol dot com podcast! www.sportsalcohol.com/the-sportsal...

I love a good analogy, and Jesus.

"There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear . . ."

I'm going to use AI to create lectures from my dead professors so that I can listen to them. First up: I want to listen to the Harold Bloom lecture about fan fiction. ("My poor child, all fiction is fan fiction.")

There is beauty everywhere but especially in autumn in Philadelphia! 😻

I mean, if the New Yorker is not publishing your poems, I guess the NYPost is ... just as good? No? I mean, obviously, no.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

My friend just fuckin showed up with a corncob pipe & that’s when it hit me that we are all in our 40s which means we get one new accessory slot

All this means is that the subscription for US-based VPNs is about to go up.

This is actually a fascinating “cost of labor in the tech sector” dataset…

Every NYer is always pining for the NYC we no longer have ... but, yeah, this is a new level of ridiculousness.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

i have sunk the ship that was in lake superior and which you were probably using for haulage forgive me it was November so laden and so cold

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

I only subscribe for television recommendations and Connections at this point.

Not, “I regret trying to use my victim’s medical records against her” or even “not listening to voters” is certainly a choice.

DST is a scam by Big Clock to sell more hours

Happy Halloween! Voted early for Zohran Mamdani, though it could be confusing because my shirt does have what I understand to be Cuomo's campaign slogan.
