The Chair Company does what I most want to do in my (admittedly all-too-infrequent) writing, which is to pull you in with absorbing plots and fascinating characters, which exist only as a glue trap to hold you in place while the dumbest jokes ever thought up are held right to your face

60 years before Pope Francis showed that making Catholicism a bit more St. Francis-like could still get the reactionaries to call you antichrist, Rossellini followed up his St. Francis biopic with Europe '51, a tale of how living a St. Francis-like life in 1950s Italy will get you committed.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

One time Thoreau tried to make lunch and burnt down 300 acres of Concord area forest, a true pioneer of weaponized incompetence.
Pretending to be Henry David Thoreau at Walden's pond so my mom and sister will bring me lunch.

If you're looking for an Udo Kier film to watch, may I recommend BACURAU (2019), starts off like a worthy slice of sociopolitical realism and ends up as demented Brazilian neo-western exploitation. Don't read anything else, just see it. Contains one of my favourite film moments of the 21st century.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

I love a film with religious themes, but this is by far the most cynical I have ever been about the religiosity of a movie. Fortunately next week's film swings to the polar opposite.
We kick off 3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman with Stromboli (1950) a film that was incredible controversial in its time not for its content but for its director and star's personal lives.

Happy 89th Birthday Dick Cavett, thank you for making television that would absolutely never be made by a major broadcast network any more, like letting Orson Welles perform a 9 minute monologue on ABC

Tonight in Charlotte, about 30 clergy welcomed 600+ people to a community safety training.
Organizers asked for extra clergy presence after the host church received threats prompted by a Trump social media post.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
