don't know if I've ever seen such a divided Letterboxd rating for a film. (in this case: "Zi" (2026) by Kogonada.)

from whence the winter mosquito that just whizzed past my ear as I sit ensconced on the couch reading on this cold December night, snow outside, cat at my side? from what hidden little summer swamp hole in my East Village apartment building have you emerged to seek out new blood?

I sure don't envy any of the writers at the Colbert/Fallon/Kimmel/Meyers late night shows today. It's been a brutal, horrible weekend. Hard to know how to find joy and levity right now.

It really pisses me off when legitimate news sites (in this case The Washington Post) do click-bait. Would it kill them to mention which country they're talking about (Oman) in the headline?

This week's #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched : a gayboy Rushmore, two very Malick-coded flicks (a 1972 revisionist Western from the guys who wrote Bonnie & Clyde, and Train Dreams), and a 1971 heist movie with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn.

someone at my downstairs neighbor's late night get-together just sang a rendition of the Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros song "Home" while playing a uke.

if the U.S. can seize an oil tanker off Venezuela, why can't they seize the drug boats instead of shooting missiles at them?

the French Wiktionary occasionally has usage examples to definitions (which most users don't pay much attention to) with wonderfully salacious vibes, like this for "correctionnelle": One day guess who I caught hanging out with a young butcher boy in a public urinal? An older decorated Monsieur...

FFS. the State Department now wants to block visas to ppl who have worked "combatting misinformation, disinformation or false narratives, content moderation, compliance, and trust & safety" claiming such jobs show a desire to "engage in censoring the free speech of US citizens". make it make sense.

A Christmas Carol, but it's all the MAGA fucks getting visited by the people they've killed. Hegseth haunted by the boat victims, RFK meeting children dead from measles, Musk spooked by the hundreds of thousands of people killed from the USAID gutting.

it wouldn't surprise me if Karoline Leavitt narc'd on her herself.
ICE agents arrested the former fiancée of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s brother. She’s in a Louisiana detention center fighting deportation to her native Brazil. https://wapo.st/3Kn08K2
