LADY ON A TRAIN (1945)
Neither a noir nor a musical nor a screwball, but a fun little mix of all three. The old movie studio system had a lot to recommend it. I discovered this film from a list of top 25 screwball comedies. So far, so good.

A good way to understand anything the Trump administration does is to ask yourself: what kind of person would masturbate to this, and why?

None of LeDoux's work has ever been collected in book form and I feel a little sad about that.

I think I need to get offline more.
Honest to god, I just said to my boss, "It's only kaiju if they're from Japan. Otherwise, they're just sparkling giant monsters" and got such a look, like I'd starting speaking in tongues while snake handling.

Reading #RobertBloch’s PSYCHO for the first time. What an incredible novel. I’ve seen the movie, so no real surprises here, but I can’t stop thinking about how amazing it would’ve been to read it upon release, completely shocked by the twists and turns. It had to be jaw-dropping.

"We left (Epstein Island) with all of my children" really is one for the books.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

See below for a fantastic short story from the inimitable @coyhall.bsky.social. The level of world-building and characterization in a 25-page story is incredible (yet, as a fan of Coy’s writing, not surprising; he’s one of the best to do it).

It will never not be funny to me that I'm going to be paid thousands of dollars by Anthrop\c because they let their AI read my books laying out the roadmap of how AI kills us all on its ascent to become God. Like, of course they did.
