OK, this is even funnier than the right-wing discourse about Morello/RATM.

Making full use of my Gemini subscription. 🫤 fwiw, I decided not to buy corduroys, because where the fuck would I even wear them over here? I have jeans in relatively high-end Japanese denim, which I barely wear, tbh.

I probably should also reread What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, which I first read as a young person. I only bought because I though the title sounded like a song by The Smiths. Obviously I loved it, and it had something of a formative effect on me.

I've just finished a quite good, but towards the end, something of a slog, grimdark trilogy. In a very on brand move, it appears my desire for something wildly different has led me to lining up the most familiar of milieus. That is, the relatable angst of those of a certain age & social class.

These covers for the Penguin editions of Richard Yates books are lovely. www.penguin.co.uk/authors/1642...

I posted somewhere about this before, but the ending of The Last American Virgin is really utterly brutal. It's always fascinating to read other peoples' reactions.

An ultramarxist (Leninist-Maoist) comedy podcast that was hosted by my best friend (imaginary) Nick Mullen, character actor Stavros Halkias and 'Joe Rogan of the centre-left' Adam Friedland.

A lack of appreciation after dropping a highbrow compliment is very relatable. 😔 Anecdote from www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

I rewatched 'Rear Window' and both these Letterboxd reviews capture exactly what I thought when I first watched it many, many years ago. One's quite long and detailed, the other very concise. letterboxd.com/film/rear-wi...

Naturally, I'm the only person on time. A functional cocktail menu (mostly Martinis) for a hopefully authentic Chinese restaurant, so I'm inclined to lay off the pints for.once, and play at being Bond, while killing time.

I've definitely been guilty of reducing a person's tragically short life into what he could have meant for the sports team I support. "Lost in everything, including time, was not the symbol, but the person."

This is why the "I'm a leftist, and I'd vote for Tucker Carlson ahead of AOC because of Gaza/Israel/anti-war" crowd is either amateur hour bullshit punditry, click baiting, or insane reductive politics.
