I am reading my poem The Lifeguard in the shower in a remake of Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho where Janet Leigh read my poem The Lifeguard in the shower.

This poem is in my book HAIR SHIRT available from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social. Get it at IWANTMYHAIRSHIRT.com

Where did this 'ICE agents are getting divorced' thing come from? Is it just cope? Or do we have stories about this happening?

I think it's funny how often I've gone off to someone about how I think a lit mag never publishes anything good only to have the person publish in it like 10 times.

AI is a prediction machine, choosing words and images based on probability. It can approximate an artist's style but cannot make an artist's choices, which is where art differentiates itself from homage and pastiche. It reminds me of a deleted scene in A History of Violence.

This short (The Big Snooze, 1946) is probably one of the ten best cartoons ever made. Take it from me: a freak of nature.
I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Jazz covers of hip hop can be hit or miss but man I'm really digging this one. The arrangements on Big Poppa, Cream and Spottieottiedopaliscious are great, especially when the band starts to rip on the solos.

Senators start a Fight Club, which leads to Project Mayhem, which leads erasing all debt
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Are there American actors who can totally transform and disappear into their roles (in the Gary Oldman/Christian Bale sense) or is this chiefly a British talent?

Can a piece of art (A) that subverts the tropes/template of the original (O) be better than the original? A could not exist without O. Does A's derivative quality in some way undermine its innovation?
