It's a shorter story: a guy thinks back on his life one evening, the regrets & about trying to go straight in a bad economy, 1979.

Shit! RIP, James Sallis.
I fucking love his work. He was one of a kind. DRIVE & DRIVEN are both masterclass.
I doubt the post I'm seeing is some kind of hoax. It's on wiki now too. His new book is dropping on Feb 10th & I've been excited as fuck for it.
RIP, Genius.

Pats back in The Super Bowl!
I wonder if there were some kind of conditions out there in Denver today. The commentators might've mentioned conditions. Maybe Romo said something about the conditions. What kind of conditions?
Anyone hearing anything about the conditions?

THE GOV'T IS EXECUTING U.S. CITIZENS IN THE STREETS.
I watched the video the woman in back took of Alex Pretti. I shared it on my Twitter page, but warning if you see it, you'll never be able to unsee it. I'll not share it here, nor on IG etc. I can't keep seeing it.

I disliked 90% of what I had to read in High School. Over on Threads someone asked "books I loved in H.S." I had to think for a moment, then it hit: THE STRANGER by Camus
Discovering Camus at 17 hit at the PERFECT time. Changed everything
Others I loved in HS: O'Connor, Vonnegut, Steinbeck, Kafka

I rewatched LOST HIGHWAY earlier today. A favorite 90s film.
I own it, & seen it a handful of times, & you know what? I find something new every time. Also, the way I view & feel about certain scenes has changed over time too, which is exciting.

I have all this leftover taco meat I made; cheese, veggies, all of it. I went to go make tacos & sighed when I realized I had 0 tortillas. I was not swayed, though.
I put the meat and all the fixings on a sub roll, and had a taco sub. Let me tell you, it was damn delicious.

Patriots are going to the AFC Championship game next week!!!
Boutte made the biggest TD catch for the Pats since the Brady Dynasty ended.
The real story, Pats defense showed the hell up. Epic turnovers, a defensive meat grinder in the snow
After 6 years of sucking, Pats are back. Onto Denver! ❤️

I don't have APPLE TV, so I haven't seen the show. One day I'll use the free trial & watch, but I want to read the book first before I watch it.

That was one hell of a defense the Pats put out there tonight. Justin Herbert is going to see lightning bolts for a week after that last hit.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.
Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.
