Pretending (I believe) to cast about for words, Beckett wrote in a letter to his long-time extramarital partner Barbara Bray the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read about coping with loss, “leave the rest to the stream, to carry now away and bring you your other happy days.”

I think far too often about how much I would love to see this face be punched when it’s making this exact expression. Every time I come across this video. Just… you know. Clock him right in the nose.

Anybody else reading Elisa New's email to Woody Allen via the balcony 'honest subtitles' scene from Annie Hall?
"not strictly dictated or delimited by the lines themselves? Listen to me--what a jerk!" ugh

Finally finished Nashville! I think my favorite scene is after Lily Tomlin and Keith Carradine's characters hook up and he tries to make her jealous by calling another girl up to his room. She gets dressed, pecks him on the forehead--or was it his cheek--like a mom, and leaves. Baller move tbh

Why I still read the comments. (Also, imagine posting sympathy of DICK CHENEY’S family on the day a Democratic Socialist wins a high-profile election.)

Came here to make fun of Staten Island and saw this. Having connections to both places I can’t overemphasize what a dumb take this is.

I mean we don’t have any pictures of ourselves, nieces, nephews, or other family up, but Donna is representing on the fridge. Pour a little out for DJ; jam an unhinged Playing in the Band

Really hate seeing the Criterion Channel embrace AI. There’s a right side of this and there’s a wrong side of this. I don’t see any gray.

I mean it kind of looks like the veining of a Roquefort cheese. I’d eat it before I’d bathe in it, and I’m a champion bather. It looks like a sub-part bathing experience; you really need to be able to stretch out. 1/10 bath

That is a dizzying amount of money to create the dystopia pictured. And a dizzying amount of spending on “superintelligence.” Does it really take all the Humanities scholars in the room to ask the dumb question “what for?” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/t...

My nine-year-old nephew’s preferred symbolism his entire life has been penises and boobs (a fact I will point out to him when he’s older), but I am proud to announce he seems to have graduated recently to representations of… Baphomet. 😂

Three years ago we said farewells to Virgil, this “big ol’ lovable, vice presidential galoot,” as @joshroiland.bsky.social put it. I miss making him take silly pictures with me—this one was about three months before he shuffled off this mortal coil. It’s too bad pets can’t last a human lifetime!

‘spose that’s what the Norbertines did by crying poverty and hiring a president to fire Humanities faculty. But now that we’re gone, these unspoiled servants of Christ have found the funds to donate $15 million to SNC’s endowment.
