The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

Wow. Read this kicker graf to Horton's review of Entourage (the movie).

web.archive.org/web/20150605...

I saw the whole movie. I thought about leaving constantly but didn’t. This was an exercise in will. But when I left, driving past countless old houses that looked the same once but were now crumbling into unique identities, I felt unclean. I was shell-shocked by its tone deaf narcissism and glamorization of unmerited riches. Entourage is a hideous, unwatchable moral low for mainstream filmmaking. But this does not make it fun to watch. If you’re thinking about watching it ironically, to stir up rage, please, do anything else. Go for a walk. Read that book you pretended to read in high school. Stare at a bad painting until you think it means something. Stand in front of a mirror and part your hair in a different direction. Ask your gas station attendant what items people steal most and least often. Tell some trusted family members you’re in jail and figure out if they’re good for the bail. See how far you can throw a rock and then go find the rock. If you do all these things and you still want to see Entourage, do yourself a favor and start a new life somewhere.

I can’t believe Kaleb Horton is gone…

His life wasn’t long enough. Not even close. But in the time he was here, in all the countless hours he spent writing — for which he was criminally under-compensated — he never typed a single line of bullshit.

You did it, my friend.

“People have been asking me for writing advice a lot lately. All I really have to say is just start typing until you’re done, and make sure none of what you’re typing is bullshit. The first part takes until whenever your deadline is, and the second part takes your entire life.” — Kaleb Horton
