The Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.

I need Christopher Nolan to keep adapting towering works of literature as a sort of Keynesian stimulus for literary culture.

Okay now it's getting real

Folks, Deadline Hollywood (???) has covered JCO’s tweet about Emily Wilson’s review of the blockbuster film version of the timeless epic composed long before recorded history began. We are so back.

“Computer, Earl Grey, hot.” “Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, former Prime Minister, is primarily known for sweeping electorate reforms as well as the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, not his attractiveness. He did have sixteen children, however. Would you like more information?”

I hung myself from the sacred tree Yggdrasil for 9 days and nights, without food and water and with my flesh pierced by a spear. On the 10th day I was approached by two talking ravens, named Thought and Memory. It was from them that I learned of FOR ALL MANKIND

and of course to eschew 'marketing' altogether. I know of the new Neuromancer show only because I caught a fish in the river Yarmouk that when roasted turned out contained a mysterious ring with the words 'William Gibson's Neuromancer to premier January 22'

a friend said "no spoilers!" while we were talking about The Odyssey and another friend said "you've had 2,700 years to read it"

The vast majority of our outlets are owned by right-wing billionaires and last night our most prominent political reporters spent an hour chuckling along with a clearly senile Republican president as he insulted them incoherently. Here's why our media has a liberal bias problem.

Nobody ever explained to me what a passkey is or how they work. Websites just started asking me for passkeys like it's something we talked about.

Hi, vernacular architectural historian here! So what’s happened here is basically yeah that’s a gate to hell

Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 2w ago

Found this gate in York. It had a standard lock, plus a padlock and a chain holding it shut. It was very very securely closed. The only thing on the other side is a blank wall. The only conclusion I can make is that this is a magic portal to hell.

Olive Garden's owners say that you do not have to show ID to get pasta at an Olive Garden. A guy who shits himself in public and struggles to pass basic cognitive tests says that you do. For busy restaurant-goers, it can be hard to know who to trust.
