There is no one original heavy metal band. There are two: Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. The two forged every element of all the metal we have today.

I adore Truffaut, but something about this love triangle or whatever it is just irritated the hell out of me.

If they were “fighting” they’d be ordering state police to arrest Feds engaged in assault and battery, kidnapping, warrantless searches and seizures, and illegal rendition.

They are doing nothing but talking and suing (which is also just talking, since the admin ignores courts).

T*&^p is a poor person's idea of being rich. These people are a stupid person's idea of being smart. Not baffling at all, as there are an awful lot of stupid people. 🤷‍♂️

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

DIANE KEATON transformed American cinema with performances that redefined leading women on screen. From Annie Hall's Oscar-winning charm to The Godfather's quiet strength, she brought intelligence, vulnerability, and style to every role. A huge loss. #RIP

Academia was already bad enough, when one was willing to move anywhere for the tenure-track job. But if half to three quarters of the states are now out of bounds, it is a completely hopeless profession. You'd be better off trying to be a pro-athlete.

He was incredible in Requiem for a Dream. I think that's his best by far.

Happy birthday Ralph Vaughan Williams 🎂
📷 Norman Parkinson, 1951

"It’s funny that people never think of Vaughan Williams as having a lightness of touch, & yet to me there is sometimes a very beautiful, luminous, radiant quality to his music."
