From Arcadia, which I discovered in a thrift store when I had just arrived in Berkeley. A simple line but something I’ve carried with me for a decade now.

Damn.
Tom was, all round, a scholar and a gent. My dad envied his quietly perfect artist’s wardrobe and treasured his friendship. As did I.
Travel well. I hope the wine’s okay.

Knives Out 3 is great. Might even be movie of the year for me. Best of the 3 so far. I’m a sucker for a good mystery but I think Johnson’s really managed to make something more than just that. Criminal that Netflix won’t release this more widely.

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

eXistenZ is a movie in which an NPC says "Death to Realism!" while swinging a flamethrower around and burning down a techno-organic squishy, fleshy pod.
And yet, the very next year, those cowards at Sony asked David Lynch to make their PS2 commercial.

I’m not sure what I just watched. A 10min short film for a hot sauce? I guess, that’s it. That’s what I just watched.
