I'm gonna prove something. I have a Google Doc of every single Pokémon, from 1-1025.
COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE and I'll add your name until we've found someone who likes every single one!

@BarneysRubble0 vinnie you dumb pig please share your thoughts on the lorentz force law & its consequences as applied by schrödinger equation via gradients of scalar potential energy function, and how mccarthy incorporated this into blood meridian :) or are you just talking about vibes?
English
Love this proud strain of anti-intellectualism amongst unpublished Twitter users with profile photos of them reading books. Don’t talk about quantum mechanics ie the nature of reality, let my pea-brain get back to the slop!

im a starving child starving to death and this is the very last thing I have ever read. gootbye

a few days ago i realized i have a 15-year log of every book i've read—i started writing down every book i read in 2011. as i was combing through this list i would occasionally stop on a title and realize i couldn't remember a single thing about it, and this was 60% of the books

@RobertSecundus fwiw, and I’m being generous to you here, you fucking prick, I think lockwood’s essay writing is stupendous, but her book was one of the most godawful cringe-inducing and frankly amateurish pieces of writing I’ve ever had the misfortune to believe I needed to finish
English
@RobertSecundus shut the fuck up, men can obviously be soy, too. it’s a culturally contingent mode of expression that, yes, I do not like, was rampant in her miserable book—oh your books reads like bad tweets? fucking kill me—and has clear semantic & textual signifiers (your stupid caps for one)
English
Still hard to believe that the best tweet on the internet also resulted in one of the best novels of the 21st century

@eroscestlavie_x something actor network theory-inspired. or latour himself. an unfeeling art historic machine
English
new prompt = what book of art history would be funniest to give to someone as a social experiment to see if they could create a much weirder trajectory for the rest of art history from first concepts based on what they read
Amanda Killian@eroscestlavie_x
@saintsoftness @mcmansionhell @zunguzungu That said if someone reads exactly one book based on this post and is like "well, that's enough art history for today, I think I understand all of it" I think they should be cordoned off and studied like a bug, would love to see how that goes for them

@diegrueneKatze @BretVDB woolf and to a lesser extent faulkner weren’t fit to refill joyce’s inkpot
English
@BretVDB She's wrong about his learning ,but correct about the book itself. She joins other writers like Faulkner and Blair, who praised its genius but found it difficult to genuinely like.
Both Woolf and Faulkner better executed what Joyce set out to do.
English
Virginia Woolf’s diary entries on James Joyce’s Ulysses:
“An illiterate, underbred book it seems to me; the book of a self taught working man, and we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, and ultimately nauseating. …
I finished ‘Ulysses’ and think it is a misfire. Genius it has, I think; but of the inferior water. The book is diffuse. It is brackish. It is pretentious. It is underbred, not only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense. A first-rate writer, I mean, respects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts.”

@BigGulpAmerikan Grace Jones and her 1980s videos had a surprisingly big influence on Australian arts, and most definitely TV video culture.

Something that could have only been created in southern hemisphere.

@SilentDawnLB @BrndnStrssng an enviable position, to have the cosmos just opening up for you !!
English
@BrndnStrssng Caught this in a theater last weekend. First ever Hong. Was completely captivated.
English
What Does That Nature Say to You: Hong’s funniest in quite some time, including his best drunken dinner table freak out yet. A quiet and devastating portrait of a guy who, unfortunately, just sucks. Some of his most gorgeous, washed out images. The pinks and greens are hypnotic.

@R4dicalCentrist @wheelreinvent but you’d rather have that money pissed away to france? 👶🏼🧠
English
@R4dicalCentrist @wheelreinvent think of how many more people would go shopping or drinking or partying or gallery hopping in the city every single day if PT was free :)
English
It’s crazy that they sent over a billion dollars out of the country for this when they could have just made PT free and spent that money on better services instead. Pure economic waste

@happydays00769 @PAstynome you have an exit plan? don’t let us stop you!
English
@PAstynome The US will set everyone a drift including NATO because I think they are over the wokness and it's just not worth their while providing a military umbrella. Australia will become quite vulnerable. Taiwan will go to China soon enough. I already have an exit plan 🫡
English
Australia is arguably the closest US ally so if they are saying no, the rest of the US alliance will probably say no.

SYDNEY, March 16 (Reuters) - Australia will not send naval ships to assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a government minister said on Monday.

@agitslop_ bizarre how a movie full of so many specific fetishes of the director can be so utterly uninteresting

Sentimental Value perhaps the middest movie of the year, watchable but basically inert as like a piece of art lol

Golden Brown is a Song from God (a song you hear even today and think wtf did that even come from?). Other examples: Strawberry Fields, Wuthering Heights, Kiss from a Rose & [choose your fighter]

“Golden Brown” is one of those perfect songs that sounds like it exists outside of time.

I prefer to share writing resources and notes on my website rather than substack is precisely because I WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY. I want to opt out of the expectation for remuneration. I want to give as so many have given to me. I cherish open-handedness and rue competition.

@heremotherturin always a joy to read your work. would love to know about yr process for reviewing :)

@willmenaker Can everyone chill about this?
First, he represents *everyone* residing in the City of New York; some have legitimate concerns about the association.
Second, he's a millennial: we're inclined to apologize up front to avoid lingering discomfort. We're taught to people-please.
