Really bothers me when a movie is billed as a comedy or a book is blurbed as hilarious when it very plainly isn't

people pirate most stuff when they're broke as shit and buy all they can when they're not, except for all the shit you can't see without piracy 'cause no one sells it. people pay when they have the cash and, increasingly, they have no cash. blame The End Of Mass Prosperity In The Imperial Core.
piracy discourse is so exhausting and passe, but i will observe that every truly great collector of physical media I know has a big harddrive of pirated books and movies. you literally cannot have one without the other

Everyone in the world: what the fuck is that movie Hamnet? Why is it called that?
Me: I don't know. That's the lady who made The Eternals though

Weakest Coens iirc are O Brother Where Art Thou, Man Who Wasn't There, and Inside Llewllyn Davis. O Brother is the one I might be wrong about because I saw it when I was young but I'm pretty sure the others pale in comparison to the dumb comedies people complain about

I've been saying this was coming and people should invest in cookbooks
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

It's interesting Bandcamp won't write about your music on their blog if you price your mp3s as free. I understand people wanting their music to be free and don't think artists should acquiesce to the market/rentier class. But it's also good to assign value to your work and have people write about it

Got this years ago when the record store I worked at was throwing it out unplayed, but I only ever rediscovered it when it would not be seasonally appropriate to play. Until now

Because felching is back in the news I must report that when I was in high school there was a girl with the last name Feltcher who had a skinhead boyfriend and when I was like why would you be a Nazi that's stupid she basically blamed the fact that black kids made fun of her last name
What is ‘felching’ — the raunchy sex-act RFK Jr. texted about with Olivia Nuzzi, according to her ex Ryan Lizza

Not 'health' — but, certainly, a 'human service.'

Surrealism show at the Philadelphia Museum Of Art show incredible. Beyond the expected hits - Dali, Ernst, Varo, Carrington, Magritte - the André Masson pieces really hit. Also great pieces by Jacqueline Lamba, Gunther Gerzso, and Roberto Montenegro. Absolutely worth a daytrip

SEO is likely bad for writing and the internet in general but I do think bands should care enough about it that they don't name themselves after acts that already exist and have achieved some notoriety. Not really a search engine thing so much as a Discogs database thing

As much as I dislike dumb-on-purpose genre stuff, often the key to writing comedy for me is to actively try to think of the dumbest thing
