Maybe this will sound melodramatic but it strikes me (in the middle of the night) that such a scheme being undertaken by one of the true bastions of monoculture is the machinery of capitalism sowing the seeds of schizophenia among the populace
Billboard magazine reporting there are 34 variants of the latest T Swift album

A lot of me realizing I felt "permission" to make certain moves in my own fiction because of Pynchon (I love a weird name) but am nowhere near as smart or inventive or invested in the researched detail that helps make his shit sing

It's great, love the opening chapter feeling Coens-noir and then the scale expanding until it felt "classic Pynchon." The feeling of being a total goofball but also so focused on storytelling, shames other writers who are "serious" but less good. I should've took notes to keep track of characters

OK I just finished it so I can read this review now

My idea a few months back was to dress up as this guy but maybe that's more dependent on fortuitous thrift store finds than will happen in the next few weeks. BTW, I just pulled my "Queer Marriage" cd-r out of a box to play

Was trying to remember what book a particular quote about love was from and: Donald Barthelme's short story "Rebecca"

It's like the descendants of the inventor of dynamite are going "damn we need people to start buying dynamite again" because the inherited wealth is running out

I think even Axel Alonso is optimistic tbh, he brought in Corben!

I think it's fine but threads where you reply to yourself will often look weird within the context of your page

Yeah i noticed a few months ago kids were saying it a lot, assuming it's used in some Tiktok or something, I don't think they're learning it the way I did, from They Might Be Giants' "She's An Angel"

Longtime followers will know I love Don and Moki Cherry, spent New Year's Eve at home reading Neneh's memoir. More pics from the Moki Cherry retrospective
Kali Painted bowl with dog heads Shirt Moki made for Don to wear in the seventies with a camel on it Drawing on paper of an iron, a sewing machine, a television and an electric toothbrush

Moki Cherry exhibit at the Fabric Workshop is great. Worth visiting if you're in Philly during the next few months
Painted bowl with dogs Big cloth tapestry showing a duck on a lake with a much larger tapestry of a face with dripping mouth in the background Make an offering to the gods of dayly survival Painting on panel, brightly colored swirling shapes, gesturing towards the figurative with the presence of an eye and a mouth

No you have to try to get on a podcast where you talk about Communion to promote your book

In Thiel's headcanon the backup material in issue 12 is a yearbook signed "don't cry because it's over, smile because it's happened" to Rorschach

Tony Millionaire strip that made me LOL, from his new comic, Not Drinky Crow, published by The Mansion Press
Rickets & Scurvy are two birds, or one might be a duck-billed platypus. I'm no ornithologist, just a guy who heard Anthony Braxton cover "Ornithology" by Charlie Parker for the first time today. That's on one of his "In The Tradition" records

Oh whoa Skeet could be a relative of Zoyd I didn't put that together

Playing this at the comic shop and a customer said it had 8-bit Castlevania vibes

These burger commercials are cartoons directed by Peter Chung of Aeon Flux, if I had seen them before I would've remembered

that prompt that was going around a week or so ago about what fictional world not from a film, TV show, or book that you'd most want to live in? I just came up with my answer youtu.be/hMUy6V982A8
Checker's Rally's Muscle Car Commercial

Snooper are such a fun and energetic band it makes me wonder why I spent so much of my twenties at shows for bands that were boring in comparison
Worldwide, by Snooper

Thank you for reminding me this is out. I do wish it was on CD, the preferred format at the time of the first two records' initial release

Try Grindr, which i believe is an app for the sandwich fandom. Men in that demo love thinking about lunch

God I wish! Sadly Bluesky is a politics website
