I love that album cover.
Sorry, I meant for when Letterboxd's streaming service gets to Roku. Saw it was on AppleTVs and the like.
Nice. Waiting for the service to arrive on Roku (maybe it has and I missed it?).
Why? Just why? Why do so many people wishcast warping space and time to conform to that slimy mobster's every utterance and demand? It's so well beyond bizarre. They CHOOSE to do this.
Break up hard voodoo.
I keep seeing people say, "we want something new" as if there is anything new about being a relatively well off white guy with good family connections who says a lot of bigoted things online and expects to get away with it
Ok, but besides ALL THAT...

Seriously fucked-up dude. Not that that's news.
All that abjectly humiliating ass-kissing for nothing, who coulda seen it coming?
A made-for-tv hippie. (29:11 for those who want to "meet our hippie!")

Waaaaant.
Despite Frank Zappa's warnings.

The Monarch of Malleability.

A gothic castle in the transylvanian mountains. A great bear of a man, waring a stovepipe hat and carrying a cane: "Now that you are my bride, you will never leave this castle!" His new bride replies "Wow! Your library is amazing!" He continues "Beyond the castle is a high wall with no gate, and beyond that is a deep. Dark forest with no path." She pulls a volume from a great bookcase, "I suppose it's my library too, now we're married." He goes on "The forest is crawling with ravenous wolves, malignant birds and the spirits of long-dead travellers." Ignoring him, carrying a pile of hardbacks "So many books! I can't believe My luck!" He has sprouted wings, claws and cloven hoofs. "When the sun sets, I transform into a wild beast and soar into the night, seized by a terrible bloodlust!" She sits, examining her books as he flies out the window "Ok. I'll stay here and read. See you in the morning"

A great movie.
I'm so damn tired of the US cycle where Republicans kill our economy, move wealth to the richest 1%, and start a war and then Dems have to clean it up. Then once they get on the right path, Americans are impatient or fixate on some GOP created culture war, and think they should have fixed it all in less than 2 years and re-elect GOP liars who will start the cycle again. Absolutely exhausting.
It's absolutely fucking exhausting.
Everything bad right now in this country is 100% voters' fault.
NONE of this shit had to happen. ALL of it could have been prevented. Voters in this country, most emphatically WHITE voters, need to get a fucking clue and break this pattern of self-destruction.
Call your fucking reps: 202 224 3121.

Wrapped a reread of Timequake. Wild genre-busting romp through the space-time continuum with Kurt, the recurrent Kilgore Trout and a literary who's who that comprises KV's #writingcommunity. Not his strongest, but it's a feat to even break his top 10. Read them all!

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Excellent song. What a wild bit of ambition to write and sing about the International Geophysical Year project. We had hopes once.
New Frontier, from the same album, is one of my absolute favorite songs ever. Moving and amusing, and extraordinarily melodic.
Thinking how I would explain this to my dad, who thought George W. Bush was the worst and most incompetent president he had ever seen. βNow the president doesnβt even bother going to lie to Congress. Congress lets this adjudicated rapist and convicted felon do whatever he wants.β Sorry dad π€¦π»ββοΈ
everything is in books. i read a huge book series that is not super duper famous and i was sitting on my deck with a cup of coffee and a character said βgrief is a room and you sit in it aloneβ and i broke down. my dad had just died.
books are so good dude, everybody should read them.
This is not a productive thought but I would like to build hell and put all these fucking freaks inside it.

I am so tired of fragile little men starting wars. I am so tired of fragile little men making policy decisions that harm us all. I am so tired of fragile little men doing horrendous harm to children and expecting us all to forget about it. I am so tired of fragile little men with their tantrums.
