I saw one that was just like "I'm way too much of a bitch for this book." Girl, same.

Saw the absolute funniest Goodreads review: "DNF. Literature."

Most of the other artists I would compare him to in this are also disgraced creeps.

I think Woody Allen is one of those artists who is good when you're making the jump from popular mainstream entertainment to highbrow artfucker bullshit but then when you come back to it after 20 years of steeping yourself in artfucker bullshit the work offers neither the pleasures of pop nor art.

Diane Keaton is good in it (which is why I watched it), but otherwise, oof.

Annie Hall is way worse than I remembered.

I listened to the new Taylor Swift for research purposes and my opinion on her remains the same as always.
Skub comic from The Perry Bible Fellowship. The first panel shows two men wearing pro skub and anti skub shirts. in the second panel, they are fighting. in the third, they are being pulled apart from one another. the final panel reveals skub to be some kind of ointment or jelly in a jar.

There's, like, open bribing of the refs and crowds getting into fights. Shouting swears is de riguer. One of the coaches flashed a gun at a game and was only banned from games in that county. And my response to all of these stories is just, "And these kids are eight years old??"

My sister's grandson is in some type of child football league and the stories she tells me about the games make it sound like a dystopian sports movie from the 70s.

If I see one more "Here's Why You Don't Want A 7 Figure Book Deal" article I am going to become the Joker.

I don't know Italian, but my gut tells me Ariosto is better than Dante.

Lucan is almost as good as Ovid.
blipstress.bsky.social
Ovid is better than Virgil.

70s literature rules, 80s literature drools.

The modernist novel is one of humanity's great intellectual achievements.

English poetry? Great. French and German prose fiction? Great. English prose fiction? Spotty at best.

I'm seeing a lot of very, very hinged takes here, so let me put a little pepper on it: With a handful of exceptions, English-language prose fiction was mostly bad until the 1920s.

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat
blipstress.bsky.social
Very reasonable and correct, imo.

A pretty big part of my life is going on Amazon to check out the first few pages of a book, then going to buy it elsewhere. I would love to cut out that middleman.
blipstress.bsky.social
I genuinely find it very frustrating how Amazon is the only reliable source for novel excerpts. Other bookselling and publishing sites are very inconsistent about having them and often have reader applets that are absolute dogshit.
blipstress.bsky.social
Me whenever publishers make excerpts available easily without me having to go on Amazon.

Also, some of the leashes with fun prints on them were marketed as being for "girl dogs." You all cannot be serious.

I realized this as I was shopping for leashes because I don't like the dog's current leash.
