Second place in trivia is pretty good

I know what you did last summer I turned pretty in second place.

And if they make jokes at the expense of another character, does everyone know they're kidding? Is that how characters can take constant insults without suffering emotional breakdowns?

The question that haunts me: do sitcom characters know when they're making jokes? Are they making them intentionally? Or are they totally oblivious?

Only way to get meatheads on our side is to speak to them in a language they understand.

Grievance politics can't really create anything. It needs to be in opposition to culture. I guess you could make a hundred more Death Wish knockoffs.

What do we reveal about ourselves in our bios? And what level of persona is created there? How much mystique do we want to project and to what degree is an author bio a reflection of an authentic vs. idealized self?

That's what I thought, too, but then I wondered why I was giving people an errand to try find my work in some magazine that may or may not exist anymore (and which mags I include, and what does that say about which ones I exclude, and what image I'm projecting by that decision and and and and).

Adrian 'buy HAIR SHIRT' Sobol @yoadrianididit.bsky.social · 17h

This post made me ask: what is the author bio for? Why do we list our publications? Is it to prove our credentials? Our authenticity? A historical record of our value in the literary space?

Pynchon also with the correct spelling of "el"

Chicago mentioned! And the Aragon! And The Green Mill!

They met at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, near the el, half a clam to get in, cork, felt, and spring-cushioned floor, palm trees, archways, tile, the Spanish palace courtyard, secret tunnel nearby Capone hangout The Green Mill, only white people allowed in.

Thinking about that bad New Yorker review that seemed to think this novel wasn't wrestling with current affairs

You can't trust the newsreels, you only think you've seen him, the Jews who control the movie business only allow footage that will make him look crazy or comical, funny little guy, funny walk, funny mustache, German Charlie Chaplin, how serious could he be? But there also exist other Hitler movies, yes, some even filmed in color, home movies, a warmer, gayer Hitler, impulsive, unorthodox, says whatever comes into his head, what's wrong with that?"

You'll find more than a few proponents—including the CTA—who believe it should be written "L"
