It’s fine without being scratchy. It’s dark and full without being blotty. I am going to go buy ten more now because I realized I’ve only got 4 left in the house.

The F-301 is 0.7mm but writes like 0.5mm. It is cool to the touch 90% of the time, never gets hot. It does not easily break, especially the little clip. It’s thin. It’s right.

Trying to explain to my coworkers that, though I’ve quit smoking, “a dessert cigarette” is a real thing I deserve after my meal, it simply doesn’t count against me

I would’ve never gotten this two hour massage if I’d known I was supposed to drink 2 gallons of water afterward, no one informed me this was part of the deal

BANSHEES OF INISHERIN treats depression as a state of anticipatory self-mourning, fear of death and fear of being forgotten, but also sees this state as solipsistic, self-fulfilling oblivion, a way of blotting out what little light exists while it still does. “How’s the despair?”

McDonagh mulls over life not as a litany of success but as finite years in company of others. To fear not living memorably enough to be remembered is to court despair over kindness; to forget all other people mean, what matters outside of us, is to banish love, to be left alone.

On day six of my exclusive course on restaurant management, I will teach you how to show up to work with the perfect mixture of 8 distinct sour candies the day after you hear the pregnant host is using it to stop vaping

new paper: the 2021 Child Tax Credit — which from July to Dec 2021 gave qualifying families up to $3,600 per child in auto monthly payments — not only appeared to “reduced child poverty by half” it also notably “improved the mental health of adults in the lowest-income families.”

Takes me go through a couple chicken/egg questions in my mind. Death of the movie star we talk about a lot, but there are craft issues, too, if we talk about today’s romcoms.

I understand it isn’t equivalent, but reading about curious kids engaging with text, asking questions and making connections only to be shushed and shamed by a sweaty, bigoted administrator makes me feel the same rage as if I’d watched an adult punch a kid in the throat

Suddenly, Beeman, a school admin present for the recording, starts waving her hands and interrupts Robek. "I just don't think it might be appropriate," she says of The Sneetches.

I’d be so mad if I met Ben Affleck like this, foot and a half from my pillow-creased face and electrified jaybird ass bedhead, passenger side floorboard lookin like the beginning of WALL-E

I have not spent a sizable amount of time on Twitter this awards season, so didn’t realize there was Banshees backlash. Assumed most everyone agreed it was wonderful. I am happy to log off again to maintain this.

Venture forth, brave boy. Joaquin Phoenix stars in BEAU IS AFRAID, a twisted odyssey of epic proportions from the mind of Ari Aster. Only In Theaters April 21.

Listening to the Brotherhood of the Wolf score. Personal to me. My first paying theatre job was running sound for a Hamlet that made heavy (illegal) use of it. Now any given measure cues two radically different works in my mind. All a jumble, all a joy. (Also: Gimme a US 4K.)
