Terry Zwigoff’s adaptation of Daniel Clowes’ graphic novel GHOST WORLD remains the ultimate anthem for cynical outsiders, deadpan alienation, and post-high-school dread. Read @jonosimpson.bsky.social’s 25th anniversary review! www.framerated.co.uk/ghost-world-...

This is the graph in Joey's thread/article that makes me think AI had very little to do with these losses. This is a chart of the streaming wars, covid, a surge to finish delayed projects, and the end of the streaming wars.

Many of the best country songs about Texas are really about relationships or rodeos, but this is the first one I heard as a kid that’s about Texas itself, and maybe still my favorite in that subcategory m.youtube.com/watch?v=joX_...

I’ve seen very little anime, but the first race in Redline and the city montage in Ghost in the Shell are already two of the best soundtracked scenes I’ve seen in any movie, full stop… and in completely opposite ways

Finally listened to Choosin' Texas, which sounded like a different kind of country song from the title, but in fact it's the best sign yet that country music is finally getting sad again. I don't know what this presages because I never thought it would happen

"The Second Bakery Attack" in addition to being a fantastic short story in its own right, also contains my favorite passage in all of literature.

We got into my old Corolla and started drifting around the streets of Tokyo at 2:30 a.m., looking for a bakery. There we were, me clutching the steering wheel, she in the navigator's seat, the two of us scanning the street like hungry eagles in search of prey. Stretched out on the backseat, long and stiff as a dead fish, was a Remington automatic shotgun. Its shells rustled dryly in the pocket of my wife's windbreaker. We had two black ski masks in the glove compartment. Why my wife owned a shotgun, I had no idea. Or ski masks. Neither of us had ever skied. But she didn't explain and I didn't ask. Married life is weird, I felt.

It is vital that we learn to recognize brilliance expressed in nonstandard English — or not in English at all (we all have translate buttons now and should mash them). This is also a good time to learn to value rough edges, quirks, and fresh perspectives that might appear naive.

In particular, systems thinking isn't just cherrypicking details to support whatever schema you've already worked out, it's recognizing when the details contradict or complicate your overarching ideas

As a general observation, I've never _once_ seen writing with a bracketed sigh that was actually worth reading. It's a surefire sign that the author is performing world-weariness for an actual or imagined audience of folks that completely agree with them rather than engaging.

Is there a formal name for the performative credulity and elite deference that respectable media just can’t seem to abandon? It is clearly illustrated in the case of RFK Jr. Everyone involved is expected to maintain a fiction that nobody knows what everybody knows.

What you see right now is not a livestream, but is delayed & edited by your brain 🧠. The brain uses a short time buffer to rewrite what you thought you saw using info that comes in later (postdiction). We study how (7T fMRI, retinotopy). Read our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👀 (1/N)
