Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

If you wanted to script a scenario to perfectly vindicate the work of Jean Baudrillard, it would be Trump II.

A simulacra of a president running a simulation of a presidency, based on simulacra of news broadcast by simulations of news media.

Baudrillard is to Trump II what Foucault was to GWB.

One of my wackier improve the birth rate ideas is to make maternity leave mandatory, for everyone. Eg you have to take at least two year long sabbaticals during your 20s/30s whether you’re having a child during that time or not. We gotta ease up on the opportunity cost of having kids

I've found myself struggling to find the right word on a first draft, but revising it effortlessly on the second. I don't like that my editing brain is so much stronger than my drafting brain, but I'll take what I can get. #SecretProject

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Belichick's communication with his staff in the past two weeks has been described as "weird" and "distant" by multiple members of UNC's coaching staff. Multiple coaches were unable to get hold of him during UNC's bye week

Space Mutiny, Time Chasers, The Final Sacrifice, Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders, and Werewolf.

We were primed in America by the myth of self-reliance to lean into this fantasy. Every person believes that they will be the survivor, and that everyone around them is somehow secretly lacking and will die in the first day.

in retrospect i think the "zombie" tv/movie craze that encouraged everyone to fantasize about how theyd murk all their neighbors, hole up in their house and eventually run into the woods , was a mistake

C.S. LEWIS, AFTER TELEKINETICALLY CHARGING A BULLET TO STRIKE JFK'S HEAD AND GOVERNOR CONNALLY'S SHOULDER: my work ... here ... is done ...

Daniel Harper @danielharper.bsky.social · 1d

Not quite the same thing, but CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley both died on November 22, 1963 -- the day JFK was assassinated. Lewis himself lost consciousness less than an hour before the gunshot in Dealey Plaza.
