“Steven J. Lockjaw,” “Virgil Throckmorton” and “Ghetto Pat” are all excellent Pynchonesque character names. Virgil Throckmorton in particular feels lovingly crafted.

Every time I look at anything related to One Piece it’s always so off-putting and hideous. I literally don’t understand why people willingly consume it. No disrespect.

I know this hurts but Peter Thiel is probably on the more normal end of the spectrum for white Otaku

Loved Chase Infiniti. Nice to see Sean Penn be unambiguously good in something again. Not sure if it earns that American Girl needle drop, and the Comrade Joshua jokes felt like they needed a second draft. Still, more fun than anything else you’ll see in theaters right now.

Loved it! Characters getting so lost in coded language, secret identities, and opaque goals that they risk losing themselves utterly. The choice is between futurity and human flourishing or total obliteration. I’m gonna be saying “just a few small beers” every time I have a couple Modelos now.

"She is the dream actress that every director should have." —Gillian Armstrong

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

RIP to everyone’s mom’s favorite actress; that kind of makes her everyone’s favorite actress.

I’m going to deal with my various existential crises by investing in bootleg Simpsons streetwear. That’s probably fine.

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

feels like a cultural shift where we hated celebrities in the 2000s, liked them in the 2010s, and now we're back to not liking them. there's no successor name to "beyoncé's internet".

Just saw someone use the term “Beyoncé’s internet” unironically in 2025 and was flabbergasted until I remembered that this is Bluesky, which is permanently stuck in the Long 2016.
