A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity

The hypocrisy of the old "gun community" is beyond comprehension.

Transrights, which is just really another way of saying human rights & bodily autonomy, are not negotiable.

film flubs: in the movie spartacus (1960), several different characters identify themselves as spartacus. this scene was mistakenly left in the final cut of the film

Excerpt from “Appetites” by Anthony Bourdain: [Onions should be] thinly sliced. Paper thin. And fresh, please. Caramelized? No. Not a fan. Burgers should not be sweet. Any sweetness in a burger should come from the ketchup alone. Speaking of which: Do not put "house-made chutney" on my hamburger. Please. Let ketchup do its job. And don't make "house-made ketchup" either. Why would you do that? If it's not broken, as they say, why the fuck would you fix it? Is your ketchup really better than the stuff that's been our trusty condiment companion for decades? A waiter asks me if I'd like some "house-made" ketchup, and I tense up, anticipating further blows: Will Mumford and Sons suddenly emerge from the kitchen and begin playing tableside? Mayonnaise? Maybe, if applied judiciously, You don't want that burger shooting out from between the buns and landing on your genitals. It's a tough call. How much do you really like may-onnaise? A cost/benefit analysis is called for here.

*Anywhere* making their own ketchup is just hubris imo. Never going to forget this passage from the late great Anthony Bourdain’s “Appetites” cookbook.

god I feel this. Someone at some point wired a bunch of outlets and switches in my place with creative, shifting interpretations of whether the black wire should be hot or neutral. Also the back patio light switch controls the basement light.

recently learned some letterboxd users don’t immediately post their rating as soon as the movie ends and instead post it hours or days later??? how can you live like that

Naked Gun - impressively funny.
The Daddy of Rock and Roll - sad but inspiring and just plain cool.
Memento - Really good, how have I not seen that before?
The Rat Catcher - Roald Dahl’s writing just fits Wes Anderson’s style.

there are many good reasons to hate the administration! they are doing real tangible harm to a lot of people! stop fishing for some elaborate secret conspiracy when they’re just plainly doing straightforward public conspiracies! christ almighty this is exhausting

losing my mind at the resist libs on bsky devolving into qanon tier theories about the Butler PA assassination attempt. this administration can’t organize a press conference at the four seasons, you think they can successfully pull of an elaborate staged assassination attempt? get real.

god I really do wanna like this because I just love Spike Lee plus I love High and Low but after the 2013 Oldboy “reinterpretation” I am… nervous

careful or he’s gonna sue you for this

Meatloaf for dinner is pretty good.

Meatloaf sandwiches for lunch for the couple days after making meatloaf are incredible.

Project A is Jackie Chan doing Jackie Chan things (but with pirates!), Amelie is simply one of the greatest films of all time, Final Cut is a shockingly cool art project/love letter to film, and Pieowa has some great feel-good stories about my home state and favorite dessert all in one. #FilmSky 📽️

it's called a tactical reload look it up

It’s actually only bologna while it’s in the package, once you take it out to fry it and put it on a sandwich it’s technically baloney

I find a fun gimmick account ➡️ I follow them ➡️ they start making sponsored ad posts ➡️ I block them out of principle

and so the cycle of life continues. maybe this platform really *can* replace twitter

like if you already have a hot pan full of fat and flavor why tf wouldn’t you just throw in some asparagus or something while the steak rests anyway? what’re we even doing here
