I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

The boy (13) is doing gothic literature in English and has to write a gothic story. This has several promising elements - burning abbey, nuns, senseless murder - "but," he says, "I keep worrying it's turning into a comedy." So begins the most important lesson of the gothic.

Oh yes, Long Day's Journey into Night is sublime
Bi Gan, essentially China’s David Lynch or Tarkovsky, has a new film RESSURRECTION. I believe it’s a masterpiece made me feel I was levitating out of my seat by its end. Tickets just went on sale with two special screenings with him in person at @filmlinc.bsky.social www.filmlinc.org/films/resurr...
Resurrection
This phantasmagoric dream machine from visionary Chinese director Bi Gan (Long Day’s Journey Into Night, NYFF56) is an elusive yet monumental love letter to a century of cinema, unfolding over five ch...

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

I invite you to join me in rejecting the siren song of Christmas Starts November 1. We're still doing autumn next month. We're gonna keep roasting up root vegetables and baking with apples. We're leaf peeping, lighting pumpkin candles, and drinking spiced cider. We're watching Fantastic Mr Fox

With Alpe d'Huez back in the Tour de France, this replica model commemorates Beat Breu's stage win there in 1982 with Breu alone in the lead just before the arch. It's got a Dutch corner and plenty of other details. It's about a metre long. Best of all Breu made it himself

People LOVE asking about tattoos! “What’s that mean” and “when did you get that” and “what shop did the work” etc etc
I had a shitty tattoo on my leg that I got covered because people kept asking if it was a straight edge tattoo and I got sick of explaining it!

Even if you manage to accidentally get a Nazi tattoo and have no idea what iconography the SS used I refuse to believe no one at the gym or the beach asked “why do you have a tattoo of the bad guys from Wolfenstein” or something

Started reading The Once And Future King for the first time since childhood. It's a little discouraging that the blurbs on the back are from Gaiman and Rowling.
