Of course!! :)

If you want to read my full write-up, I made a blog post discussing all of these and more: turnerclicks.com/blog/my-2024...

@oncinema.bsky.social : “On Cinema” depicts an amateur production between two antagonistic hosts. They regularly find themselves in arguments, most of which have nothing to do with movies and more to do with their own show. But you cannot possibly be prepared you for the disorder that follows.

Cameron Winter - Heavy Metal: Heavy Metal plays like a classic singer/songwriter album obscured with brain fog. The songs are rough around the edges and free-flowing. While Winter’s style is undeniably esoteric, the ideas that manage to shine through the haze are remarkable.

David Foster Wallace: Wallace is among the most critically celebrated writers in recent memory. Infinite Jest has been canonized as an essential literary work of the postmodern era. But what discussions surrounding Infinite Jest often brush past, or totally ignore, is Wallace’s empathic spirit.

The Substance: The Substance creates a new, better version of you: the new “you” for seven days, the old “you” for seven days, and the cycle repeats. And if you try to cheat the system, there will be consequences. Your dreams become reality until you are starkly awakened by who you really are.

Pen and paper is still the best “productivity software” out there 🤷‍♂️

When writing essays, I’ve always been as close to a perfectionist as I can on the first draft, but I’m realizing more and more not to blur the lines between “writing” and “editing”. Write first, edit later.

I went searching for it and couldn’t find it, but if I remember correctly it was during a radio interview. Either way, I don’t even disagree with your point, I just find the story funny. :)

There’s an old anecdote from Kurt Vonnegut where he recalls a party with a bunch of writers, all of which complain about how they hate writing. Eventually, one person speaks up, declaring their love for the medium. Turns out, they’re the one person who can’t write.

Didn’t need my feed to call me out today… but here we are!

Sometimes I wonder if this is actually the case, or if our brains just have a profound way of procrastinating. In my case, it’s the latter. Often times if you just start, the rest will fall into place.

Gotcha. Happy reading! Catch-22 is a delight.

What version of Catch-22 is that? That design on the spine looks awesome.
