“We Require an Engine,” Said the Testicle Collective by David Anaxagoras
This is the story of you, a man—simple, uncomplicated, perhaps a little stubborn, getting on in years, but still vital. And some of the stupid fucking choices you’ve made.

Even if it's not an emergency and you have plenty of cash to burn, BUY USED TECH. Keep it out of landfills. And don't give Apple any more cash for Tim Cook to mint into gold iPad stands for Trump.

I carried my copy of The Talisman with me all my sophomore year in high school and wore a hole in the dust jacket with my sweaty palm.
I'm out of my mind excited that the third Talisman book, Other Worlds Than These, is coming in October!

I'm okay with this. I'm one of the few who absolutely despises the Darabont movie's rotten cynical ending which proved the hysterical religious zealot was right all along.
King's story offered a faint spark of hope. That was snuffed out by the hubris of the director.

The gas station attendant came out to ask “Regular, Unleaded, or Ethyl”, then proceeded to clean all the car’s windows and check the oil. My sister and I rode in the expansive backseat, seated on the floor and facing the seat, playing with Megos and Barbies.

I thought One Battle After Another was supposed to be a comedy? Gave up after 45 minutes. Choppy story telling and a cruel, icky vibe. Felt like it worshiped 70s antihero films but didn't understand anything beyond the aesthetics.
