I can’t stop thinking about Barbara Kingsolver's novel "Demon Copperhead." Few books of late have burrowed into my head and made me feel seen like this one did. I listened to the audiobook (highly recommend) but if I’d read it on the page, every single line would’ve been highlighted. (1/13)

I finished Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver last night and I'm basically going to cry for an entire month now. How's your morning going?

I just watched River Maid from start to finish. It still needs sound, music, and VFX, but the movie is there.
Of all the projects Mirandum Pictures has endeavored over the last two decades, River Maid has not only been the most logistically challenging, but also the most personally bruising for me.

The book that this movie is based on is one of my favorites in recent memory. This movie looks like it's going to be a decently faithful retelling, which means you guys are in for a TRIP.

Ah, I see we've reached the "let's split hairs about the what 'pedophilia' means" stage of the conservative campaign to paint the Epstein stuff as either a hoax, or not that big of a deal. Predictable, but appalling nonetheless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Megyn Kelly suddenly finds pedophilia very hard to define
When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now she's splitting hairs about men "into the barely legal type."

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam
if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

It's insane to watch conservatives on my feed freak out that a city that they don't live in (and openly despise) might exercise its democratic right to elect a different person than conservatives would have elected.

If you're as sick as I am of people quoting Orwell who have clearly never cracked open a single one of his books, this feels like it might be a strong antidote. However, you can bet your ass that the people who need this film the most will never watch it.

Named after my mother
An old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house it would've burned down
A long time ago."

A ★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025)
I've been a PTA hater for some time now—when his films aren't thuddingly dull they're pretentious and melodramatic, which has the added effect of making it difficult to justify his famously controvers...

You and me rocking
A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to time
We used to wind it."

Once upon a time there was a version of America that would have refused to tolerate the unprovoked invasion of our cities by federal forces. Does that America still exist? We're going to find out pretty soon, but I don't have high hopes.

"I just don't know who or what to believe anymore" is often just another way of saying "I spent decades stubbornly defending positions that were clearly in bad faith until I was finally forced to abandon them but admitting that the other side might be right is still a bridge too far."

We used to have a saying in college that in order to read a G. K. Chesterton book, all you really had to do was read the first and last sentence of each paragraph and I gotta say the same has proven true about everything Mike Flanagan writes.
