EVANGELICAL, RIGHTWING THINKTANK, AND TECH LEADERS RETURNING FROM THEIR SUMMIT AT PRETEEN ISLAND: What if...everyone homeless?

Hey #adoptee folks on here 🥚, curious if anyone's done research or has thoughts on adoptees who are polyamorous or otherwise non-monogamous. Looking for essays, perspectives, articles, whatever.

this has never occurred to me before but GROUNDHOG DAY is actually a story of occult horror in the tradition of Lovecraft and King. Punxatawny Phil is clearly an Elder God who has managed to get an entire small town to worship him and accept his oracle, until some asshole calls out his gimmick

Reaching the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ phase of American history

anyway, the correct place for knuckleheads with bowling balls for brains who nonetheless want to Do Something is the state house of representatives, where any idiot can manage to get something passed if they're loud and annoying enough

50s: the Nazis were evil 60s: the Nazis were buffoons 70s: the Nazis had provocative symbolism 80s: the Nazis were a warmup for the Commies 90s: anyone you dislike is a Nazi 00s: the Nazis are a good subject for "ironic" jokes 10s: the Nazis are a good subject for less-ironic jokes 20s: uh-oh

Republicans have been trying to get back to pre-Civil Rights 1950 America for th last half-century. It is admittedly fascinating how that same brainworm has now infected their (sometimes great) grandchildren

Oof. I feel sick. I’m going to lay down. This is just it.

Into body modification and Nazi iconography? Say, I've got an idea

Call me PT Anderson because when I'm hitting those wine coolers it's One Bartle's After Another.

Christopher Lee with his cat, Renfield.

That first photo is NSFW

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

treat yo self!!!

Everyone should be welcome in the big tent! Sure! The tent poles are support of immigration, BIPOC, trans people, and the disabled. Easy peasy. Come on in.

Louvre Heist is my favourite Thomas Pynchon character name

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

COMMISSION #3

Honestly can't shake this one youtu.be/yTw9JDTr2yU?...

we're entering what historians call The Weekend Zone

PTA kinda has no shortage of cool characters but man, Sensei made such an impact so quickly. Just like an immediate all-timer guy

An easy one: Any comics film adaptation that exists without the original creator being able to pay off their house is a moral failure

Ah, what a loss. I watched Curtains for the first time last week. Eggar was a phenomenal actor.

The charm of Ghostbusters is that it's based on the premise that New Yorkers were so inured to how shitty the city was in the mid-80s that the dead could literally rise from their graves, and the overwhelming response is just: "I dunno, hire some guys i guess?"

Same. It’s a noble pursuit.

The inevitable denouement of car culture: lonely guys talking to an AI woman as they sit in soul-crushing traffic on their way to a desk job behind the wheel of a vehicle they thought would make them cool and could survive the apocalypse.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

Happy Angela Lansbury's 100th birthday!

There are three types of musics

Once again I am asking this question about myself.

Working with Foxy Shazam is a personal and professional highlight. Enjoy this music video for the song of our season, “Oh Lord.” Watch now: youtu.be/TUTj-noIkgE

Yeah, we see a lot of use of weasel words like "opinions" and "political disagreement," as though cheerleading for murder, torture, and a burgeoning police state is just another "reasonable minds can differ" issues, like EV tax credits or charter schools.

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume. They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.

Milei looks like all the cast of Are You Being Served in one

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Writing novels is very hard, and everyone who finishes writing one deserves praise and accolades purely for that accomplishment.

I re-read V for Vendetta at the end of high school and noticed the Pynchon reference for the first time. Read V. that summer. Really had an impact.

Another Pynchon-ass-name motherfucker.

Yeah, the 2000 election & the 2016 election

a few small beers

OLIVER STONE: You can occupy both of these camps, actually.

A trio of older women were in my row at the theater, and it was clear early on they didn't know what the movie was about. Mid-movie, one wouldn't look at the screen. She stormed out at the end, and there was a real frosty vibe among them outside. Definitely a friendship-ruiner of a film.

Solid aside from the NY Review of Books about Pynchon 🚀
