The scene in Manhunter/Red Dragon/Hannibal where the killer takes the blind lady on a date to pet a sedated tiger is the greatest flex in cinema romance history

It's a simple mistake in the arts to assume that anything that moves us must be a masterpiece, that we wouldn't be affected if it weren't great. (1966)

Try to imagine a Republican Party with a dozen or so staunch abortion advocates. A dozen pro-choice Republicans wrecking every shot at eroding women's autonomy, ruining every anti-choice vote. Can't picture it, can you? Yet we have to accept this kind of Democratic Party, for some reason.

I am staggered by @whalefish.bsky.social's word-perfect ‘Witch Finger’ in New Edge Sword & Sorcery 6 @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social. The particularity, the physicality; the creep, the compassion. It has the same human weird as his flash that featured as a crowdfund sticker in 3 (read at andwhalen.com)

Writing something action heavy and getting active verb fatigue. I worry that picking out the exact right verb everytime is a little like using "gasped" when I should have stuck with "said." Tough to use well, but Robert E. Howard's use of adverbs to make simple verbs sing is inspiring.

The latest folly in my ongoing saga: failing to solve psychological obstacles to writing with mechanical solutions. Can't say I'm increasing my word count, but it's pleasurable to peck at, like a fidget toy that can write 3 wpm.

The criminalization of sleep is part of a process Mike Davis called "the late-capitalist triage of humanity." The Supreme Court has taken another step in formalizing a permanent underclass. We will not be solving urban poverty, they say, we will be kettling it.

Passage from Mike Davis' book, Planet of Slums: "The late-capitalist triage of humanity, then, has already taken place. As Jan Breman, writing of India, has warned: 'A point of no return is reached when a reserve army waiting to be incorporated into the labour process becomes stigmatized as a permanently redundant mass, an excessive burden that cannot be included now or in the future, in economy and society. This metamorphosis is, in my opinion at least, the real crisis of world capitalism."
