Desta vez decidi publicar um conto que tinha guardado na gaveta há uns meses.
Uma caminha de retorno a casa, uma pista de dança, uma presença e a sua ausência.
Dêem-lhe uma vistinha de olhos...

A review of Surviving Desire (1992)
"Knowing is not enough." Hal Hartley is slowly but surely entering my all time favorite writer-directors list. Middle feature more concerned with the expression of desire than with its synthesis, and ...

Finished Eva Baltasar's Boulder yesterday. One of those small books you can devour in a single sitting and will nurture you for weeks to come. So much brilliant use of negative space, and the lyricism here is so ripe it sticks your fingers to the page.

I'm not sure what's going on over at Critical Reflex but these folks are publishing games for sickos. It's me. I'm sickos.

Talvez seja um tema demasiado divisivo para a harmonia do céu azul, mas... só há duas formas de uma guerra acabar: pela negociação ou pela destruição de uma das partes (ou, o que já pareceu mais absurdo, das duas). 1/6

This is a wonderful piece. I thought I was done with speculation but a few things are pulling me back — I think maybe I’ve got one more job in me.

Wuthering Heights
One of those books whose classic status remains simply uncontestable. It puts everything on the line for the sake of Heathcliff's character, something that for lesser writers would directly translate into self-sabotage, but Brontë's careful touch just makes everything soar!

imagine a social media ban causing a shift in geopolitics on the scale of a Don DeLillo novel lmao
Musk's millions spent to elect Trump already pay off as vice-president elect Vance threatens that US will withdraw from NATO if Europe regulates Musks' operations in Europe. And we get the best gov't money can buy.

Keep seeing people say the Paul vs Tyson fight was rigged.
I'm going to refute this, not because I’m defending Jake Paul, but because I want people to understand the specific scam that’s happening.
When you dont understand how you're being scammed, it just means it can happen again:

I really, really want to sit down with Newell and tell him that games, being a new art form, had an initial gold rush of trying to invent mechanics for the first time, but eventually you invent a lot of the best practices for how to do things, and then you have to focus on execution.
It's fascinating to me that Valve, or at least Newell, didn't understand why completing the tale might be as or more important than gameplay mechanics innovation. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/my...
'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers'
Half-Life 3: Episode 3 never happened because Newell "couldn't figure out why doing Episode 3 was pushing anything forward."

This was a very good movie and I enjoyed it, however I don’t appreciate how this poster is misrepresenting the role of the cat as being an asshole-cat; the cat was not an asshole at all, as a matter of fact this cat was a very nice cat and they need to fix this poster immediately
