This is a fantastic thread...

Alright, let's do it. Here's a little prospective reader's guide to every Thomas Pynchon novel. We'll take them in order of publication. This might be a long thread. Buckle up! 1/x

Image from the Simpsons of Pynchon with a bag over his head on a cell phone. He's standing in front of a house with a neon sign advertising it as his home.

#speirgorm has been full of the lolz today. More of this kind of thing.

Looking forward to our Canadian Gavin Newsom expert's hot take.

Also contains a photo of my wife at Optimo, out of her skull on disco biscuits

There's a guy in this boozer - can't be a day under 70 - who's rocking a 1980s, Limahl in his pomp coiffure, and I only hope I get to look like that if I make it to his vintage.

Ironically, every middle 8 of a track with Bridge in the title is mawkish, unlistenable pish.

Watch out for the giant, mutant Pearly Kings and Queens.

Trump has already given the thumbs up to shooting down paper plane incursions.

Sorry. Double-booked for that slot - I'm in a workshop that day. Feel free to book a rapture session next week; you have access to my Outlook diary.

Lazer Guided @lazerguided.bsky.social · 16d

This is such the problem with all this random rapture-ing. Quite a few gigs lined up over the next few months, but you try getting a refund from Ticketmaster, et al. A complete lack of joined-up thinking.

Always thought BBR could do a decent rescore of this soundtrack.

Or maybe Shampoo. Yeah, probably Shampoo.

Quite a few hanging in the Hanover St area

Hmm. Plenty of tricolours affixed to the lampposts of backstreet residential Dublin D2. I assume a celebration of welcoming, tolerance and solidarity, rather than racist flagshaggers at it again. #Speirghorm

We've all seen you Republican Marxists, bothering our fine Unionist equines on railway lines.

As the UK is having another normal one again, I'm having my own state visit. To Ireland. Currently parading around Drumconda dressed as Melania Trump's hat creature.

Glasgow's at-risk, Category A listed Egyptian Halls looks so much better with the scaffolding wrapping torn off and a large advert for vapes added.

Photo of the Egyptian Halls looking grimmer than ever.

I do find it rather bizarre that the fash are back. A good punch in the face should sort them out (like what happened to Moseley).

Oswald Mosley at a British Union of Fascists rally in East London on 4 October 1936. People who ignore the errors of the past are destined to repeat them.
