Just a son of a gun.
I have a slightly tragic habit of checking IMDb during old movies just to confirm if I’m still younger than the actors.
Into books, dudes, and overthinking.

Stressful dreams are just adult nightmares. It’s depressing that that’s how your subconscious decides to scare you now. Add in unrequited love and it’s a doozy of a night. At least it all happened in the first have of the night and not right before my alarm goes off. Back to 💤.

Black and Brown people. PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of us all do not allow yourself to be interviewed if SNAP benefits don't come on November 1. Make the white folks do the interviews. They love getting Black folks to do these interviews so that people think we are the only ones hurt.

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

Would honestly not be surprised if he instigates a war to try to stay in power.
Trump is looking at 2028 and he has to figure out, how does he circumvent or avoid the rule that he can't run again. I think one of the ways he's going to do that is to create what's perceived to be a real crisis in America."

Some photographs haunt me each time I see them. This one, taken by Marcelin Flandrin in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains in 1925, is the last record of a wild Barbary lion. Images like this make me sympathetic to antinatalism toward the human race, reminders of what our presence has cost the living world.

It’s gonna break my heart when Gerwig’s Narnia film bombs at the box office while “The Hunt for Gollum” does $750mn and “this time, we made Hagrid’s buttons a different shape” gets record HBO sign-ups:

'A Relaxing Afternoon.' (1927) It’s worth pointing out that Vilhelm Hammershøi wasn’t alone in producing quiet interior paintings. Sigvard Hansen was part of a group including Peter Ilsted and Carl Holsøe who are sometimes called the Copenhagen Interior School.
