Anytime anyone says "fake news" I read "news i don't like."

For example, when Hesgeth says "As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory..." I understand it to mean "As usual, the [news i dont like] is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory..."

How come no one ever told me that #GentlemenBroncos was a movie about writers camp? There's a scene in a class about fixing names by adding suffixes. That alone is worth the price of admission.
And yes, i'm changing my name to Robertonius.

The #ThreeColors trilogy. One of the best trilogies I've seen. Just watched it. They are over 30 years old and feel as fresh as if they had been done today. Stunning work.

Remembering this #cartoon I made years ago. The #NewYorker did not want it. They didn't say why.

That scene in The Sopranos where Christopher throws all his drafts and computer discs into a trash bag, walks out to the alley, and tosses them in the dumpster... has anyone ever done that? given up like that? Seems so brutal and difficult. It feels like death.

Whether you like Sarah McLachlan or not, go watch the Lilith Fair documentary. We need more vibes like Lilith Fair. Less Led Zep, more Lilith Fair.

With #BadBunny all in the news, and USAmericans and others interested in #PuertoRico, I'd like to recommend this book. It's short and you'll get a good understanding of PR #history and understand a bit about where BB comes from and how bad #colonialism is.

The quality of this vid is bad, yet the way #EddiePalmieri and the band raise the roof off the packed Central Park house gives me goosebumps every time. The bass player face at 4 min mark says it all.
Wherever he is, Eddie is banging that piano.

When you decide to put EVERYTHING in a #movie, and then throw in Gene Kelly as well for good measure and the movie is a mess, but there are 6.5 minutes of magic at the end that makes it all worth it. This is that moment:

Both my novels and almost all my stories, take place in a future where the US empire no longer exists. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's idyllic. But you can bet this empire is not going to last forever, and we have to start imagining what a world might look like afterwards.

Reading #OscarWilde plays for the 1st time and blown away by the incredibly sharp wit. Read Dorian Gray ages ago & barely remember it, but I def don't remember it being as funny as Lady Windermere or Woman of No Importance or Ideal Husband.
Where's the biting satire of our current gilded classes?
