It sometimes almost feels like modern critics won’t be happy until every work of fiction regresses back to something like the early days of the novel in the 18th century, when they were just basically glorified printed sermons outlining the author’s entire belief system on any given subject in crushing detail, except…

With this menace out of the picture, Hollywood can go back to making poor investments on its own.

‘My girlfriend is an NFT from Canada, you wouldn’t have met her but my ownership of her is on the blockchain.’

For Pete, he became the regional manager of 12 Piggly Wiggly stores in central Mississippi. He interviewed with corporate a couple of times, but never got promoted.
