Looking forward to seeing how many instances of the president getting on a hot mic and saying "I don't know what's happening and we clearly underestimated the situation" our consensus reality can withstand
Hearing "I'm bored with music" from people you can be confident have never scratched the surface of the Stax Records catalog. Bleak.
Good news, I've solved the problem of Spotify serving you the same dull shit over and over again: it's called Being a Human Being Who Has Agency
The general takeaway:
Who up unlocking their ever-expanding long tail
Such a joy interviewing the Coens again for the new Criterion 4K of THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE, a deeply underrated noir gem.

Jason Alexander of Seinfeld fame had a bit part in this movie as a store clerk. During shooting in Rome, Georgia while out shopping in what turned out to be a not so safe area he had a gun put to his head from behind. Not knowing what was the thing pressing on his head, Alexander twisted, reached up, grabbed the robber's hand and arm and pulled forward just as the robber started shooting. Alexander claims he managed this due to long years of martial arts training. He was not hurt and managed to break the man's arm and one finger as he pulled the gun from his hand before fleeing the scene. Alexander has told this story in several interviews, notable on Kevin Pollak's podcast number 86.
I... did not know George Costanza got down like this
Paul Schrader. Probably not a great hang.
The Mosquito Coast [1986]: An eccentric father (Harrison Ford) has a normal one
Post from former Bsky CEO/current dunce Jay Graber: Maybe my brain is internet poisoned, but I often don't try to read books linearly. Like, look, the book is there to serve me, not vice versa. I'm going to read it how I want. I've appalled people by sometimes staying in the middle of fiction books. If the end was good I'll go back and read the beginning. There are so many books out there, I had to see if it was worth my time!
This pairs nicely with that Andreesen post from yesterday. All these dopes have convinced themselves that their inability to focus, absorb and reflect is a byproduct of being superhuman multitaskers who have to min-max their leisure time. What a miserable way to live.
Ah I guess the Free Money/Infinite Growth phase is over and now it's Soak The Chumps Who've Stuck Around time
Character actor Jonathan Banks, best known as Mike Ehrmantraut on Breaking Bad, as Golin Shel-la, a long-haired prisoner with battle scars, on the DS9 episode "Battle Lines"
Feeling like Jonathan Banks on Deep Space Nine
A few of these accounts have made an editorial decision to post about casting news in the present tense when it's announced even if the work is already done. It's odd. They were doing it with the cast of that Spider-Noir show when that trailer dropped too.

She wanted me to look over her résumé. Who starts that conversation like this.
I've been online for like 30 years now, please just tell me what you need
30 minutes after taking an edible, the perfect time for my sister to cryptically text me "are you online right now"
He's just trying to make the case for it to the public (get yelled at so much that he feels justified in doing what he already intends to do)
This has that Danny McBride/Tim Robinson quality where having normal people speak in slightly alien ways throws you off-balance and makes everything 20% funnier
Just paid $1200 for someone to swap out a circuit board in my 7yo fridge because the original was defective, a process that took 20 minutes and wasn't covered by the warranty. I could have bought a new one for that price and nearly did. This shouldn't be a readily disposable product.

I no longer feel guilt for all those times I sacrificed this freak in Super Mario World.
not kidding "You gotta look the burrito man in the eye" is a key part of my politics and would be on candidate statements
Having a reference to a rejuvenation clinic in 2 so they didn't have to keep putting crappy old age makeup on him is an underrated bit

It's Bandcamp Friday, so I'm promoting my last album, Maximum Program. If the idea of dark techno/electro that's primarily inspired by dub, funk, psych rock, and post punk sounds like your jam, then check it. mirrorboxx.bandcamp.com/album/maximu...
