At the very least we should all be able to agree that Nate Bargatze naming THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JIMMY FALLON as one of the best TV shows of this century is a diabolical reveal; truly unhinged taste worthy of social ostracizing

8 years after The Lonesome Bodybuilder, Yukiko Motoya returns with Love at Least from @catapultbooks.bsky.social. I wrote about the long wait and how her new novel in English doesn't disappoint here:

I've said it before, and I've said it again: the Harry Potter books are terrific, especially when read aloud. They appeal to any child who is told they are special, and great things are expected of them, and yet they have no idea how to live up to that.
I heard the author died. Not sure. Too bad.

Also, there are complete sets of the books available at most garage sales, every library sale and a lot of antique/junk shops. Failing that, I recommend your local public library.

Further! One of the powerful messages of the books is inclusion. The villains are aristocratic racists who want to dominate "lesser" humans, and there are characters who are unfairly discriminated against because of their innate nature. I would recommend them are curatives to any form of bigotry.

There's an old saying in Schelling - know it's in Hegel, probably in Schelling - that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as...as...tragedy...the second time as...as...it's funny if it happens again

Bro, I fucking love private equity. They’ve made getting fast food so much better. Going through the drive thru means waiting the parking lot for 20 minutes until a person brings you food you didn’t order that’s way less in value than what you paid. Fucking rocks.

I’m watching the original Rocky for the first time in forever. I respect the fuck out of the fact that Stallone pretended to make a movie about boxing so he could make a movie about how being Italian-American is a form of brain damage.

it was good of Shirley Jackson to write that story and teach us all not to do ritual sacrifice. and even better of her to sneak in subtle hints that it was just the stoning that was the problem, not the concept of a lottery itself. after all, a little gambling never hurt anyone
