now more than ever it is time for some brave soul to release the limerick that Henry Kissinger wrote about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes

impossible to say this without sounding at least a little pompous and patronizing and terminally twenty six years old but I think I’ve grown a lot the last few years and so seeing the way that a lot of people I used to look up to haven’t changed at all makes me feel sad on the human level

Letterboxd’s “popular with friends” tab being based entirely on traffic rather than actual ratings is really funny. one of the movies in there has been watched by three people I follow who gave it one star, one and a half stars, and two stars

thinking about this Brautigan short again
I was trying to describe you to someone a few days ago. You don’t look like any girl I’ve ever seen before.

I couldn’t say “Well she looks just like Jane Fonda, except that she’s got red hair, and her mouth is different and of course, she’s not a movie star…”

I couldn’t say that because you don’t look like Jane Fonda at all.

I finally ended up describing you as a movie I saw when I was a child in Tacoma Washington. I guess I saw it in 1941 or 42, somewhere in there. I think I was seven, or eight, or six.

It was a movie about rural electrification, a perfect 1930’s New Deal morality kind of movie to show kids. The movie was about farmers living in the country without electricity. They had to use lanterns to see by at night, for sewing and reading, and they didn’t have any appliances like toasters or washing machines, and they couldn’t listen to the radio. They built a dam with big electric generators and they put poles across the countryside and strung wire over fields and pastures.

There was an incredible heroic dimension that came from the simple putting up of poles for the wires to travel along. They looked ancient and modern at the same time.

Then the movie showed electricity like a young Greek god, coming to the farmer to take away forever the dark ways of his life. Suddenly, religiously, with the throwing of a switch, the farmer had electric lights to see by when he milked his cows in the early black winter mornings. The farmer’s family got to listen to the radio and have a toaster and lots of bright lights to sew dresses and read the newspaper by.

It was really a fantastic movie and excited me like listening to the Star Spangled Banner, or seeing photographs of President Roosevelt, or hearing him on the radio “…the President of the United States…"

I wanted electricity to go everywhere in the world. I wanted all the farmers in the world to be able to listen to President Roosevelt on the radio…

And that’s how you look to me.

definitely one of the more insane pull quotes I’ve encountered in my life. to be clear: I don’t mean this as a good thing
R. Crumb on the new Lisa Hanawalt book:

"Ironies of life: Here she's all obsessed with horses and riding horses, and she has this big ass, which she openly admits to and draws... and here I am obsessed with women with big asses and wanting to jump on them and ride them like horses. I guess I should write back to Lisa and ask her if she'd give me a ride on her big ass. She'd probably say no. Ironies of life."

very few lines of thinking on art/entertainment interest me less than when someone says a given writer “doesn’t understand the character.” they’re the person who decides what the character is

one of my favorite Mountain Goats songs, in the same way that “Airplane” is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs — it’s so pared down, so uninterested in ornament (lyrical or musical), that it just shows a tremendous lucidity of thought/expression

Welcome to STC Sunday Morning! This week @thorazos.bsky.social and re-released Hiders, our OOP short comic about medieval lesbian werewolves. (Get on our level, Eggers!) An Etsy shipping-price snafu has been rectified, so it's cheap. I'm very proud of it. www.etsy.com/listing/2494...
the cover of HIDERS by Sean T. Collins & Julia Gfrörer. The word "HIDERS" is broken up and superimposed over wolfsbane.
A page from HIDERS. Two young women, one with long blonde hair and one with short brown hair, stand overlooking the countryside, dressed in medieval clothing, one fancier than the other. They laugh at some calamity they see in the distance, then run off together, hands touching.
