Hell yes. I’ve been saying this since 1992. New Order has given us a dozen absolute banger classics. My related hot take is… Joy Division was simply not good.

we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.

Looking at the massive anti-competitive consolidation in the production, processing, distribution, and sale of food, and assuming that the federal government will continue to do nothing about it, you treat it as a market failure like Hayek would. Many cities already did this with electricity.

Great Moments in Cinematic Editing… The impossibly long tracking shot in Goodfellas. The bone-to-spaceship match cut in 2001. The 90-degree turn in Fury Road car chases. And now this.

So 1999, famously an extraordinarily great year for movies. An explosion of wild creativity right before Y2K. I declare this the official changeover from Gen X/Oregon Trail gen movies to millennial films. Pick anything you want, post-2000, but 99 is ours. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Prop comedy, crowd work, natural charisma, total confidence in the material. He could be a brilliant ornithologist, or a famous comic, or he might just lead the bird army through the gates of hell and defeat the forces of evil.

fun fact about the crushing weight of human history: the city of Ugarit was abandoned ~3000 years ago. previously to this, it was continually inhabited for >7000 years. and the people who settled it would have ALSO understood themselves as the inheritors to a history that is now totally lost to us

This is why socialists have to use a more expansive definition of “working class.” Everyone without independent wealth, who must sell their labor to survive, is one layoff, breakup, serious illness, burglary, house fire, rent hike, arrest, etc. from losing everything. That’s class unity.

Fear not. The CEOs of all the airlines will go to Trump (offering tributes/benevolences/bribes, bending over to present their bare asses) and gently explain that this stupid fuck’s plan will halt ALL int’l flights throughout the US, cause global chaos, and bankrupt their companies.

Texas blues legend Rock Romano is also an abstract expressionist whose paintings shimmy off the canvas and ask us to dance. They breathe and celebrate. All those bright colors make me feel a bit hungry too. On display at Houston’s Redbud Arts Center in June. www.redbudartscenter.com/rock-romano

Neuroscientists say that people who enjoy extreme wealth and influence for many years are so incapable of grasping the quotidian experiences of normal people (empathy is too abstract) that they functionally have brain damage. That’s why Cuban thinks his maid buys his artisanal cheeses at a bodega.

Earliest octopuses were giant top predators in Cretaceous oceans

I think every social media platform should be legally required to periodically remind us how many of its users are likely bots or fake/astroturfing. Because I suspect a lot of these accounts exist solely to drive a wedge between liberals/Democrats and the left. Exact same rhetoric, incoherence.

Feeding our sailors and soldiers like they’re in the last car of the Snowpiercer train has gotta be great for morale. Might see our first mutiny since the 19th century.

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

In one of my most vivid fantasies I fly a B-52H Stratofortress and strafe every server farm on earth (after fully preparing humanity for a post-internet world!), so I don’t think this a problem. People are exhausted by the rancor on these platforms. Maybe it’s time to move forward? 😊

Remember this scene whenever some Silicon Valley twit starts rhapsodizing about AI being months away from replacing human labor. No, basic shit like transportation slows to a crawl once skilled humans aren't available. Same goes for plumbers, hairdressers, cooks, bus drivers & a thousand other jobs.

the first step to a good solid writing practice is establishing some kind of accountability system. the second step is establishing a backup accountability system for when you inevitably figure out how to evade the first one. the third step? you guessed it: jerking off
