Finally finished Stephen King’s non-fiction horror treatise Danse Macabre after two years of reading a few pages at a time on the tube.

Mann-O-Vision is a trillion dollar idea imo
That tweet where the guy asks Apple, Google and OpenAI to make Google Glasses with a "Ghibli switch", except now he's asking for a "Michael Mann switch". The image in the lenses of the glasses is a shot of the car dealership at night from Mann's 1981 film Thief, captured in Mann's distinctive "neon-noir" style

All the fair weather "go back to the club" fans have abandoned "go back to the club", but I'm still here damnit!
Images from the "go back to the cluuuuub" scene from Megalopolosis. In the first image, Adam Driver looks disgusted and the letters RTO are written beside him. In the second image Adam Driver is in the middle of saying "club" and is pointing at the letters RTC which are written beside him. His expression could (generously) be described as one of interest
