"'Up the Sandbox' jibed with the basic tenets of the Ellison Moviegoing Philosophy: it kept me rapt and happy all the while it danced before me. What the hell more can one ask from a mere shadow-play?" Harlan Ellison is a Barbara Streisand/comedy fan, confirmed 🤣

Since DOGE is facing a lot of hearings before the federal judiciary sending these emails to federal judges may turn out to have been shortsighted. Just a thought.

I am reading "Harlan Ellison's Watching" and absolutely LIVING for his screeds against Jean-Luc Godard. On "Les Carabiniers": "It is, in many ways, an exercise in idiocy." "Life is too short. To be bored for even seventy-nine minutes is too long."

The Thai cave diver, the obviously scammy hyperloop, Elon celebrating the fascist coup in Bolivia, that time Elon pledged to end world hunger and then just didn't... all that should have clued people in but they kept gassing him up until he made Twitter unpleasant to use.

It never fails to astonish me how much Mary resembled her father.

The replies to this with people bitching and moaning about complex villains being “unrealistic” and how we need to go back to black and white morality in fiction are…really something. Takes me back to the bad old days of Tumblr and Twitter “discourse” circa 2015.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.
