B’ism Naguib Mahfouz!

The film of “The Da Vinci Code” honestly does a masterful job of maintaining movement in a script that’s 90% exposition, it’s a valid experiment like the OG “Fast and Furious” being 90% car chase. Its main problem is the evil monk is excessively hot. Makes no sense. Ruins the whole thing.

Idk what’s going on here but everything coded “I should hate them” kicks ass and everything coded “my people” stinks.

Do not ask for whom the publishing industry publishes…

Y’all overreacting, Yglesias is merely testing Oscar Wilde fan fiction.

Really liked the Adam Scott Irish haunted house film “Hokum” - best type of genre writing, uses the constraints to be original, instead of adding gimmick to formula. Visually beautiful and well done all around but the writing stood out.

Unfortunately for Nazi posters of destruction, computer text-editing is a Jewish invention.

His love is real. But he is not.

Something fishy is going on: voters have voted in multiple cities as if in unison. Like they coordinated what day to vote on. Just decided, even though they hadn’t voted on the previous day or the day before that, that suddenly today was the day to vote. GTFO.

I feel exactly the same about Lula winning as Biden winning. But for real: do you get what was just averted? Remember what Trump’s defeat was actually like?

As a history guy who hasn’t mastered contemporary E Euro politics, I would love to see Hungary use this guy to correct the association with the Huns. They not Huns. They’re Magyars. Or they’re a confederacy of 10 nomadic tribes inc the Magyars. Anhoo its a more badass name than Attila imho.

Instagram has realized screenwriter Ed Neumeier’s sci-fi vision of a space-fascist propaganda outlet. Would You Like To Know More?

Just heard Kabas on NPR, and I assume she appears regularly, but it surprised me, felt like some kind of electoral victory, like she’s some kind of journalism office-holder now after winning an upset election over an incumbent Dem consultant from Long Island.

I know culture war insults are cringe and unhelpful but I don’t mean this as an insult, I just am naturally now thinking of Republicans as “cheesecakes” in my mind.

I also am mad about the ‘Musk’ film’s censorship, but the Latin-ness of ‘censorship’ reminds me that we righteously angry people have been steady winning for many centuries on this front. Barbara Streisand? How about Cato the Censor? What about the guy they named “China” after? Confucius say “lol.”

Another Canada-hating American trying to make Italy fascist. Thinks he’s a techno-visionary, probably eats brisket with everything inc pizza, insults disabled people. Wants to “build worlds.” Chilling.

It was like Zohran but for the whole country

Why it matters. wHy it MAtters: Why hit matter.Wyatt Mathers. Y itma TERS - white matters. Wy? it madders whieit maters;Wye

My favorite episode of Scrubs is the one where Zach Braff gets cucked by Tara Reid and “The Soup Nazi” in a Seinfeld cross-over (Season 3; Episode 21)

Books, Zatarain’s Red Beans & Rice Dinner Mix, jerking-off, improv comedy, electric razors, a McDonalds French fry stuck in the backseat of my first car.

“Band of Bitches” for just raiding the wine cellar and not doing this when it was taken.

Just saw an ad by the Republican lawyer Saritha challenging Letitia James - lol, but still: the clip of a sleeping homeless person is whack. Did he/she sign a waiver? Are they an actor or is it not even a person? There is no good answer to this question.

If I were the El-Sayed campaign I’d lean-in to him having the coolness of cucumbers, which Michigan is #1 in. That and being “soy.”

I don’t know when WSB wrote this in the copy I’d sent him, except that it would have been over 28 yrs ago, on July 31, in Lawrence. Leary had encouraged him to read Neuromancer and he’d liked it, which thrilled me. We hadn’t yet met, and wouldn’t for a few yrs.

Dang, he’ll be gone now. I’ve been practicing a variation of “Who’s on First” about John Galt and I need to test my material.

Adventures in Tech-Bro History: the Italian inventor of the radio (Guglielmo Marconi) was the great-grandson of the Scott John Jameson who founded the famous Dublin distillery. Jameson was still the world’s #1 whiskey when Marconi sent the first message across the Atlantic from England to Canada.

I don’t care what Regal Cinemas says, I don’t think enough people remember why Mims was hot.

Pornography, building safety, weed in general, cocktail mixology, access to Mexican food, bidets, race cars, the population of snow leopards.

One: some kind of nincompoop. Two: a fully cucked cuckoo. Three: girl, it’s plain see, The bourgeoisie has bent the knee, and, Four: repeat steps one through three. Five: make you vote abundantly. If ever I believe my term is done, Then I start back at one.

My only problem with ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ is the cruel part. Wish more punishments were unusual and just. Poetic, even. That seems more natural. Don’t need to trap Elon in a burning Tesla, just banish him like Napoleon to Epstein’s island and let him speak to no one but an offline Grok.

Fun facts: the mythical King Midas was a real guy who was some kind of gold freak in western Anatolia shortly before money was invented there, and he more believably is also said to have gone mad as he tried and failed to prevent people calling him a ‘jackass’ (about musical taste, apparently).

This is just viral marketing. I have verified leaks showing that the villains of the film are alternate formats of Chess, and that Strong has accepted the role of Giraffe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_c...

People still think Mariah Carey just woke-up sounding like that one morning, smdh. You think she dresses-up like a 4th-C Greek Saint every year because she wants to!?

See some people confused by Matthew McConnaughey. All you have to do is one Google to find out he’s been smoking weed and hanging out with Woody Harrelson for a few months. Libertarian comes in “social” (racist), “fiscal” (also racist), and stoned teenager. We keep getting older, but Matt?
