Update: a mere 14 days later I’m pondering installing an SSH client on my phone.

everytime someone says "I don't mind immigration I just think people should do it legally" I ask "how do you think someone seeking a better life from Honduras or whatever can come here legally?" they describe an immigration pathway that doesn't exist, every time.

You, a rube: upset about Sabrina Carpenters new album art. Me, enlightened: watching a 2004 film about super spies in a sorority where the villain / love interest is Mia Toretto. We are not the same

I genuinely think this particular aesthetic trend (Good Art Is Didactic And Also Assumes You Are Very Stupid) is a non-trivial source of anti-woke backlash, like unironically. It is really really annoying, and I think it has provided wedges by which anti-wokes can radicalise nerds.

now taking suggestions on what cheap eats I can get that is physically close to the Main theater that isn't Kramarczuk's* ---- *nothing against Kramaczuk's but I've eaten there every Tuesday night this year so far and a boy craves variety sometimes y'know?

Chuck Marhon made an excellent point about self driving cars which is if they are indeed dispassionately following laws and stopping for pedestrians that it could have the perverse effect of empowering people to do things that are legal but irritating on the road. He’s right, because I’d do it.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

my first job in college closed at 10:00 PM. We played the classic rock station in the kitchen and realized for reasons we did not understand that "Carry On My Wayward Son" was played every evening at 10:00. When we heard those opening vocals everyone would shout "KANSAS" cause it was quitting time

genuinely don't understand people who get upset at seeing foreign flags. do you freak out when there's a car with an out of state license plate in the parking lot too.

“I’m going to make The Talented Mr Ripley as a French feature film” “Oh so you’ll be moving the setting to France so it’ll make sense why the American characters are speaking French?” “No” “So you’ll be making the main characters Frenchmen in Italy?” “Also no”

Fresh after having rewatched the Netflix Ripley series I’ve put on Purple Noon. Apparently the amount of times it’s fun to watch Dickie Greenleaf get murdered is infinite.

I refuse to believe this was real because it would force me to admit he made a single good post out of 100,000,000 posts

We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE

this week's essay is all about how the Ocean's trilogy is an excellent example of non-toxic masculinity and how dudes rock.

From Seth Rogen’s book

I can't say I approve of the volume of step-sibling pornography in the world, but rewatching Clueless (1995) I understand how it happened.

a thing I love about the Netflix Ripley show is how much Dakota Fanning is constantly emoting a feeling I can only call "just found out about unexpected charges on the bill"
