It’s understandable insofar as monoculture is dead and mainstream hard rock bands who can headline big tours are thin on the ground these days. QOTSA are on an indie label now, technically

Idk if Nolan is a Travis Scott fan himself or if his kids are, but it’s sweet he got to cast him and imo he’s pretty obviously trying to place rap music in the lineage of storytelling that includes the poem and the movie itself. (Also v funny that Nolan got a songwriting credit on the Scott track)

It seems to me that Nolan was very deliberately going for colorblind casting (and choosing good actors). It’s enough to say that the script wasn’t very good and the secondary characters are thin!

You all do realize we’re going to be fuckin YEARNING for this when the new Avengers drops, right

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

She’s right. Tho thankfully Scott isn’t really a character.

He’s gonna be the new Andy Rooney but his kvetches are all abt the Pope’s contradiction of some obscure Catholic thing

Fuckin lol, lmao

I just call them pants

Also, tbh tbh tbh, part of this whole thing is film ppl who like literary textual analysis but only when it flatters them. There, I said it! “If you’re not a film person you can’t speak to film” psssh

A group of people who refuse to get help is called a family

Really funny to kiss a guy's ass at a funeral but it's not the dead guy

literacy as a concept is panphobic, narcissist, and xenophobic.

Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.

we all know this guy we love this guy

It‘s quite possible that with this move, @harvard.edu could become the only Ivy League university without a writing center. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Personally I’ll never read another Iris Murdoch — cumbersome, pale prose, psychology plus sentimentality. And while there’s a lot I can forgive in my dead authors, I wouldn’t willingly read an Irish unionist. I just would not do that

Marlon James and his goofball (derogatory, mostly) publisher have a podcast w/ an ironclad conceit — they talk abt books, but can only cover the work of dead ppl. This week they’re talking abt writers they’ll never read again. Agreed on Eudora Welty, disagree on Flannery O’Connor

"...if Mamdani and municipal socialism can force the NYPD into a position between ICE and its targets, if it can prove that it is not deterred by legal formalisms that ICE violates on a daily basis, then it can lead the way on public resistance to ICE."

Constant reader, the girl did not pause to think.
