Fucking dumbshit losers 🙄

This is a great letter, and summons up all the crimes the Trump administration has committed against health research at the NIH and in our universities. I'm not hopeful it'll have any impact with Bhattacharya, a willing stooge with his own petty resentments, but we need to keep shouting about this.

I know! It was terrible around the precinct.

I lived three blocks from the CHOP and also survived. 🤪 The worst part was when the cops were setting off percussion grenades and smoke bombs and all the helicopters and planes circling overhead.

He can stay in the dumpster, thanks! There are loads of talented writers out there, so we don't need to patronize the frauds and the creeps.

So he could be a pilot for the Empire?

My dad lifted a promotional ad for the strip from a local newspaper vending machine for me 😀 since I was a huge HtD fan (age 11).

The new Tim Robinson movie Friendship is a good test for that! Very mixed results in my group.

It's definitely *thinner* than Succession, which combined satire with deeper characterizations. I assume this is intentional, but at the end it feels more empty. I'm not sure this is a "failure" so much as just less enjoyable.

No questions today, but donated some stuff for the kitties on behalf of my adopted son Franklin and as a former Hoosier 😺

Non-Hammer British horrors of the late 50s - mid 60s are a weirdly satisfying mini-genre. For me, Night of the Demon is the starting point.

Don Sharp is underrated! Curse of the Fly 🪰 is a weird and unsettling left turn as the third film of the Fly trilogy. And Kiss of the Vampire is of course a classic. 🦇

People say that happens to couples, which is just one of the many reasons to never marry Stephen Miller

I really enjoyed that book! I had to keep finding albums by artists mentioned in it on Spotify and listening to them while I was reading, mostly while on a leafy college campus on lunch breaks. 🌿 Pastoral!

It showed a lot of discipline to limit yourself to five points! This season was completely dire. 🍄 And why did they just drop all the mushroom-head concepts? That was the most interesting part to me.
(As a Seattleite, I also had the bonus of seeing a nonsense version of my city)

Exactly. There's nothing casual about submitting an entire new proposal. NIH knows exactly which ones they cancelled in the last five months. They could even just ASK the recipients if they'd like to resume them.

I skipped it in the theater for the same reason and watched it alone on Disney+ and was a bit sorry to have missed the big screen experience, since it was a worthy conclusion to the series.

(And in popular fiction, I devoured Stephen King novels as a teenager, but got my fill.)

John Irving definitely for me. I zipped through Garp/Hotel NH/Cider House in high school and college but could not stand Owen Meany when I was 23 and working in a bookstore, and then lost my taste for him in general. Vonnegut I still love, but don't feel the need to re-read.
