Nothing gets me in the autumnal mood quite like sweating my balls off in my own apartment at 10:23 at night. Apple cider and ball sweat. Hooray October!

Re: Paul Schrader, filmmaking is a collaborative process. For most mortals, if you can’t convince collaborators to perform your roles, that’s a script problem to be fixed. The allure of AI for people like this is it allows them to circumvent other people. It’s a big mistake. 1/

WTF. Right after Dolly? I just rewatched Clue the other day - I don’t think any other actor could have carried that movie. Or Rocky Horror for that matter. Or Muppet Treasure Island. What a tough week.

Hey! Can we get someone with a freaking spine in office, please? Preferably someone who might spend money on something other than only the police?

Is there still time to chime in on #theodyssey or nah? Because I would have liked to see this in the adaptation.
A fake excerpt from the Odyssey, written by the poster, in which two members of Odysseus's crew return to Circe's lair to ask the goddess/witch to turn them back into pigs.

Haven’t seen it yet, but love that people are out here complaining about the Odyssey like it’s the first time anyone has ever adapted anything before. Oh really? It doesn’t have every part of the poem in there? Yeah? The actors aren’t speaking in fakey British accents? They cast modern people? Oh?

Whether causing suffering, excusing suffering or ignoring suffering, Lindsey Graham truly was a member of the Senate.

Me from 9 years ago, today: wow, Lindsey Graham died. Not exactly sure who that is, since he hasn’t had a ton of relevance to my life yet, but I’m sure he had a distinguished career in civil service. Me today, today: I’m gonna take a nice walk in the sunshine! Who wants doughnuts?

He really is looking for every little thing to corrupt. Not that FIFA needed a lot of help in that department but still. It’s like the goal is for you to enjoy nothing.

JD Vance is a rotten tree that bears bad fruit. I have not read Vance’s book, Confessions - I did not want to give my money to a notoriously sycophantic, hypocritical, gelly-spined blowhard - but he speaks on topics he knows nothing about all the time, so it’s only fair I get my shot. 🧵1/

Caveats about not being real Mexican food and all that, but I really do believe that the trashy hard shell ground beef taco, the one with the shredded cheddar cheese and iceberg lettuce, is a perfect food.

Never ceases to amaze, the kinds of things people say when they are completely disconnected from reality. Go watch any comedy. Also, this makes me question if he understood why The Office was funny in the first place. Michael Scott was not some anti-woke truth teller. He was the buffoon by design.

Thinking about voting Steyer just for the opportunity to bump Steve Hilton out of the final two. Although, “Governor Livingforgod Andcountry Demott” does have quite the ring to it….
