I’m actually not stressed about the job market (excited to pull off a really sick heist after years of unemployment)

This is the hardest any book has ever gone in its first two paragraphs

Just now learning that the Jon Favreau who directed all those marvel movies is not the Jon Favreau who hosts all those podcasts Always weird to learn that some information is not vital

The Bear season three is a good time to remember that flashbacks are always bad and should not be used in tv or movies.

People may be interested to learn that the Moby Dick anime is streaming in the US on prime video!

I wrote about Chris Marker for @clereviewbooks.bsky.social! It’s about news that’s not real but isn’t fake news: www.clereviewofbooks.com/writing/make...

Make It News: On Chris Marker’s “Eternal Current Events” — Cleveland Review of Bookswww.clereviewofbooks.com The news has an intimacy with fiction.

Continuing to watch all the Schrader movies on Criterion (Light Sleeper tonight)

“Directed by Paul Schrader” feature on Criterion Channel is taking over my life

It must be so great to be a nineteenth-century orphan, knowing that someday you’re going to inherit a vast estate

In any given social context, no matter how professional, I am at most three minutes away from trying to get people I have just met to listen to me do a rendition of “The Aristocrats”

Everyone needs to pause talking about advances & Amazon & new ventures in publishing & start talking about distribution. I am happy to help explain what distribution is, what it means, & why it’s maybe the most important publishing issue

It’s definitely bad news, but it’s important to note that SPD was always an incomplete alternative to the distro monopolies. NO Press did not have the going capital to have ever taken advantage of its offerings. In my case, the situation is unchanged

This is…not good

Parents are cleaning out a storage unit and I just got sent this (from like high school ?)
