The George Lucas Talk Show's LA Wildfire Relief Livestream is now available on YouTube. We raised $48,947.66. We're SO close to hitting $50k. If you've been looking for a place to throw a few dollars to help the thousands of people in need right now, this is a great place to do it!

If we're not already calling Robert Eggers "Bobby Eggs" what are we even doing at this point?

Chris, why did you draw a pickle George Lucas? Well, if you watched the George Lucas Talk Show fundraiser, you know why! @patrickcotnoir.bsky.social @connorratliff.bsky.social

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID.

He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind.

Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

My favorite parts are
1) “stage fright”
2) the story about shoplifting groceries
3) Robbie calling Van Morrison “Van the man”

I read Octopus: a Story of California! I am attempting to have read something from every year of the 20th century, this checks of 1901. It’s very much a 123 year old novel, but I had a great time.

read a really great old novel in the bath over the past couple of nights. absolute ideal situation.

is this the year I tell my mother I want expensive skywalker ranch olive oil for Christmas? www.skywalkervineyards.com/Shop/Olive-Oil

every chapter opens with a quote from Baltasar Gracián, and every chapter I misread this name as “Battlestar Galactica”

pg 96, for me to find back, and for you to enjoy

an idea to come back to later — is there writing about fan works as detournement?

very sleepily reading McKenzie Wark’s Spectacle of Disintegration this afternoon ✨

I went from a book I’m really not enjoying on a style level to the SI Anthology, and god, I love this shit. Hilarious! (The note clarifies that it’s Andre Breton)

It’s very easy to take for granted the conceptual framework your brain defaults to, it’s easy to overlook how this would contradict the thing you’re trying to understand. Or, not contradict exactly, but they’re things to examine on their own first and then maybe put together.

I’ve been trying to figure out why I couldn’t make the ideas here fit within the default framework of my brain, and then I realized that this was all written before Foucault. Something that should be obvious if I thought at all but???????

I’m very slowly reading Society of the Spectacle, & it’s one of those books where every paragraph makes sense on its own, but at the end of a chapter I couldn’t confidently explain what I read. (Not a complaint).

That’s neat!!!!
