@whitstillman.bsky.social How high do you think Rick Von Sloneker would have risen in the Trump administration?

As Saturnalia approaches, I remember to put my book purchases in early so I can get them from real bookshops.

The Greeks absolutely had it right when they included a chorus in their plays. They knew audiences are dumbasses who need to be told “THIS MAN IS BAD. HE IS HERE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT *NOT* TO DO. WOE TO THE BUMPTIOUS FOOL WHO WOULD IDOLIZE HIM. YOU ARE NOT, NOR DO YOU WANT TO BE, ALEX DELARGE”

If you don’t like people except for your girlfriend and your girlfriend’s boyfriend that’s called a misanthrouple

Terrance Malick's "The New World" is the best Thanksgiving movie by a mile. I will exile anyone who disagrees.

@mcuban.bsky.social When they unfroze me, they told me all my old fortune was gone. Can I have some of yours? (I have lifestyle expectations that aren't being met rn, tbh)

And yet, if I asked this same exact question, it would be considered "weird"

Pre-bunking sounds like the age when I was excited by bunk beds, but too afraid to take the top bunk. But then my mom surprised me by getting a bunk bed with a guard rail and I climbed up to the top so happily. That's the feeling of comfort I keep chasing

We like to think we're the top one, but the middle one is secretly best, and we're actually the bottom one #ancientbluesky

Reminds me of the stupid Roman senators who tried to leave my performances when their wives were in labor

Now that Matt Gaetz out of the running for Attorney General, I am pleased to appoint him Minister of Orgies, pending senate approval

Rome at night is the best. I like to pour a little chianti in a diet coke bottle and set out on foot to take in the monuments, all ghostly and lit up. Best bar in the world

Our rappers were terrible (Latin words have too many syllables) but we had swagger: golden houses, fast chariots, and looted art
