I'm pretty sure Harrison Ford reached the singularity with weed many years ago.

U*

That's going to cannibalize demand for my production of "A Funny Thing Happened on Man Ray's Way to the Forum"

I appreciated the thoroughness of the research, but discarded a decent amount of the commentary. He was pretty good at making me feel like the Weathermen were bumbling, self-aggrandizing idiots though.

Shhhh. Don't knock the feature! They'll take it away instead of just burying it! The other commenters are basically my book club.

When I'm in a bookstore, I like to check in on all the offensively bland titles of actor autobiographies. Then Again. Stories I Only Tell My Friends.

It's a period piece, right? It sounds awesome.

Also, translated into English this year, but from the 70s, I got 3/4s through The Dirty Dust by Mairtin O Cadhain, before the election drained the life, and thus my reading interests, out of me. Set in a rural Irish cemetery, the novel is entirely (de)composed of the ravings and petty bickerings of the deceased, with…

I loved Donald Ray Pollock's short story collection. One of those anthropological sort of books that gave a view into a world I knew nothing about, while still featuring wonderful prose. I haven't dived into his novels yet though.

I read one 2016 book, based solely on the premise. Sudden Death by Alvaro Enrique centered around a tennis match between Caravaggio and the Spanish poet, Francisco de Queveda. They use a ball made from the hair of Anne Boleyn. It goes back and forth between the game and the conquest of the new world. I loved how…

Half-baked and overcooked?

What a bright light for the sport. Goofy and heartfelt. Anyone who can squeeze some emotion out of Gregg Popovich is someone special.

Referenced in the article above, I see ads for the Man in the High Castle outside my work everyday. I'm sure the show's fine, but it's deeply unpleasant to see a huge poster of the Statue of Liberty giving a Nazi salute. Especially in light of recent developments, but it's not like this is the first time Amazon's gone…

Brazil seems to have this very rich literary tradition of which I know nothing. This sounds great.

I just listened to a reading of "The Toughest Indian in the World," it's fantastic. He's great with short form.

The Queen of the Night seems right up my alley, I have to read it!

I'm reading The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Primarily about the careers and friendship of William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, as well as a dive into muckraking. She's got a great flair for making the characters come alive, though I fear it'll be too rosy throughout. Still early going, but I'm curious…

I just listened to it…it's cool, but Funkadelic is the 21st Century Funkadelic. And the 31st Century one.

Is your ex's best-friend Flea?

I really enjoyed the new Opeth. I've finally accepted that he won't do death metal vocals again (except for those live tracks on Sorceress), and I was finally able to appreciate them for the excellent songcraft. I'll go back and listen to the other prog records from them soon.
