Review of ‘No Country for Old Men’ (2007) ★★★★★

“It's a mess, aint it Sheriff?” “If it ain’t, it'll do till a mess gets here.“ Can’t get these lines outta my head, which feel to me like they sum up my lived experience of modern society.

Hi folks: For the past 2 months, I haven’t made any original tweets. This account has auto-tweeted all my work. With news that the Twitter API is being paywalled, my guess is the auto-tweets will stop. If so, this thread has all you need to keep in touch. Hope to see you there.
