whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

Kind of like the people who strap themselves to those kites that get pulled behind speedboats

problems with the publishing industry are often confused with problems of craft. once you're woke to this interpreting literary polemics gets a lot easier

Silly Fred, you can’t release a movie with a year long series of promotions at key times of the year! You wouldn’t believe the advance promotion Homer himself has to do circa 800BC

Wait, The Odyssey still isn’t out? I thought it would be in theaters for the holiday, wasn’t that the whole point?

Your regular reminder that the ghosts of Christmas visited upon Scrooge not some sort of transcendent universal enlightening ethic; they're hauntological corrective policing agents that epouse a long dead morality from previous eras onto the present to eviscerate radical futures.

This is a remarkable forecast discussion from the WPC:

"...heavy rainfall totals for Southern CA will likely occur over an 18 hour period, with widespread 4-7 inch totals, with isolated max amounts of 9"+..."

"...anomalous 850-700 mb moisture flux; 5+ standard deviations above the mean..."

Hello! This thread will be a compilation of various readings I have curated in part to provide good material for studying Soviet history (in my opinion, at least). Each reply underneath will separate by topic, and replies under those will show individual works with information accordingly. 1/2
