The slide into mediocrity of contemporary fiction continues. This book is conventionally, unexceptionally written. The standard of literary craft is fair to middling at best. The Waterstones judges have rewarded mediocrity.

With woke faded, the left dulled and checked out, Democrats subdued, and country-club, WSJ conservatism out of favour, this is MAGA in the ascendancy: culturally dessicated, vulgar and philistine. I never imagined how boring it would be: an atmosphere of stymying, crass dullness.

South Park roasts Kathleen Kennedy and Donald Trump. I agree, and am demonstrably cooler, and get it, more than all you guys.

FINALLY, Predator as a buddy-comedy, with the Predator on screen all the time, clearly lit, without any terror of the unknown; without the iconic infrared POV; an amateur rather than perfect killer, and a quirky quippy android, with humour as a major hook for the film.
First hunt. Last chance. From the director of Prey, watch the brand-new trailer for Predator: Badlands, in theaters November 7.

I spend more time online with conservatives, but periodically have to check myself. Through the despicable outrage of Jan6th, The Zelensky Oval meeting, and a 100 other things, Colbert was a witty and much needed salve. The philistine gloating over his departure is really shitty.

Mahershala Ali was announced as Blade 6 years ago today. I feel this torturous project is uniquely in the middle of a cultural tug of war as flaky co-opting identity junkies pushing girl boss substitutes lose sway and things tilt back toward a conventional mindset.

Last couple of days to contribute to my Indiegogo campaign to get my debut album produced and into headphones. At 40% of the funding goal. Deeply appreciate any last minute chipping-in.

Gore Vidal claimed Orson Welles told him that William Randolph Hearst used “rosebud” as a pet name for Marion Davies’ clitoris. This was supposedly known to Hearst’s inner circle, and when Welles and Herman Mankiewicz used it as Kane's dying word, it was a private jab at Hearst.

I love Stephen Colbert, and this is dispiriting news.
‘THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT’ will end in May 2026 due to financial decisions

At its lowest point in quality and ratings in 62 years. The nomination is the absolutely absurd category: "Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming," whatever the hell that nonsense means.
