Stale are playmates who play to stalemate.

Made political punk rock once, may again.

Months after this picture was taken, Joe Biden was howling about funding the police.

Yes, indeed. It's no coincidence that the narrative of justice movements "going too far" is immediately seized upon by bad faith actors. If we accept a bit of overreach, maybe we'll actually get somewhere. An excellent piece by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social.

“Spring will come again.” A wonderful rumination by @chrisgeidner.bsky.social on time spent with the work of David Hockney.

Saw The Brutalist yesterday at the Angelika on 2nd Ave (ceiling pictured). I thought there was a joy to the filmmaking in the first half that was weighed down by the need to be profound in the 2nd. Haven’t been to the movies in a long while, so it felt great either way.

If this is hard to say, then there’s nothing left to be said. And if you’re hedging in any way when considering Musk’s (vile) character and (malign) influence, then you’ve said too much.

This is all I see when I see MA.

Heard he's taking the backpack off the market to avoid recreating a city-wide bowler hat scene from the Thomas Crowne Affair.

[Herzog narrates]: Without purpose, or their wits, the waddle of New York City’s finest lost the day’s narrative to a set of stunning eyebrows.

The made for TV movie is on its way, Waddle: Manhunt.

The worst of the Alien sequels.

The whole city is going to look like the bowler hat scene from The Thomas Crown Affair.

“What’s a potential reason for such rapid, collective action?”
December 4, 2024 at 3:17 PM
Not obvious or known to me, but a great find/thought! If you advance it slightly more, maybe even more so.

Googled “who was the C-list Kurt Russell” for a Hegseth & Kash joke I wanted to write, and I don’t think this is very nice (I hope Boston didn’t feel this way)

Feel like this is a good (ok maybe only decent) idea for a piece, or perhaps a book: the tale of these two pictures, and all of the threads that connect them (ok maybe a big book).

Love every version of Scrooge putting on a charade for Bob, like he’s going to screw him further, and then BAM, hits him with the kindness!

Hits. Hard. Thrilled this looks nothing like Thom Yorke. This version is nearly perfect in every way.

Oh no, more food porn. Scrooge openly drooling over it all. Let it out Ebenezer, you love holiday fare and we all know it!
