Tempted to watch Sinners again in theaters

I am officially one of The Ancients, Keeper of Knowledge of the Before Time

Canadians aren't afraid to sell contact because their health care is free.

Sinners is set in the city of Clarksdale, MS. Problem: there’s no theatre there. So, the citizens wrote to Warner Bros to bring the film to them. Today they & Ryan Coogler did! What a beautiful day!

An "everything" bagel does not exist.

It’s the month before 9/11 and life is still simple. You’re with your friends, all dressed up in Corelli costumes, waiting in a long line for opening night of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Later you’ll hit Denny’s for a late night Grand Slam, then play Captain Corelli’s Mandolin 3 on PS2 till morning

learned that online fiction writing advice widely disparages the third person omniscient perspective now, referring to it as "head hopping," because it's supposed to be too confusing for readers. i never remember hearing this when i was younger. many great novels across genres are written this way.

Kenny Smith: "Thibodeau wouldn't play nine guys in a baseball game" a bar

BTW, happy tweet-iversary! One of the most famous NBA posts of all time was fired off 10 years ago today, and has remained notable this entire time because the fuckery has refused to subside.

It brings me no pleasure to announce that the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation New Balances go exceptionally hard

RAW MILK TIME I was surprised to find most of the "raw milk cures ___" talking points from the last 20+ years come from one (1) raw milk dairy farmer in California. Let's get to know him!

“Earlier this week, The Onion ran a piece headlined “Sean Combs Asks for Quick Trial So He Can Get to Part Where Trump Pardons Him.” It may be on to something.” www.rollingstone.com/music/music-... By @cheyenneroundtree.bsky.social and me

I am publishing soon something we were scooped on @theonion.com beat us to it I am not joking

Lol a LinkedIn bot just replied to a comment I left on a @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social livestream 7 months ago that simply said "MORE LITERATURE"

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up. Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter. Never. Talk. To. Cops.

Just finished reading The Vegetarian by Han Kang and I will be thinking about it for the rest of the month

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

An acquaintance once did a power hour with OG Four Loko during VEISHEA week back when I was an undergrad at Iowa State 😱

So over for you hoes

Massacre in Boston, by Jacob Lawrence, 1955, 📸 by Brian Babineau

Basketball is very good

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

promises made. promises kept.

Marlins 1B Matt Mervis missed the pick at first base and got the throw right in the 🥜🥜

“There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.” This is the energy I am trying to encourage people to cultivate instead of “they’ll arrest you next.”

one of my favorite popovich stories is derozan talking about how he supported him when his dad was dying not only a hall of fame basketball coach but a hall of fame human

The more the people who control the Internet talk, the more I think we should destroy the Internet and all go hang out in curling rinks and bowling allies

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

The amount of fucking nerds who had the nerve to lecture everyone that Biden had no power to do anything about this but continue to send money and weapons, and that he was working so hard but being thwarted by Bibi. Sold their souls for an administration that was clear about what they wanted.

I cannot overstate how troubling it is to me that law enforcement - our most numerous first responders in this country - do not know what a fentanyl overdose looks like many years into a public health crisis of fentanyl overdoses. You also cannot overdose on fentanyl when there isn’t any fentanyl!

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.
