We’re just ONE WEEK away from #SpanishJackie Weekend! 👃🗡💅 To kick off the hype, we're going to revisit our beloved Leslie Jones talking all things Our Flag Means Death. This time, in Late Night with Seth Meyers (Jan 16th, 2023), she talks about her experience filming in Aotearoa/NZ

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

We could, and just hear me out, not give a fuck about able bodied persons receiving the benefits of accommodations. This is actually what we should do about it: nothing. Not a fucking thing. supposed "grift" is only a problem in a world looking for an excuse to deny accommodations.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

I love seeing people's photos of the eclipse and all the little crescent moon shadows. I love people's photos of the perseids. I love people's photos of the northern lights. I love the professional photography and the grainy phone cameras. The sky is up there and beautiful things keep happening.

I'm not comfortable with folks saying COYOTE VS. ACME was "worth the wait." I'd argue the opposite. It was worth NOT waiting for. Warner Bros. shelving a whole film as a tax write-off, potentially forever, doesn't become forgivable if it's good. That's what the word "unforgivable" is for.

Dave Green's shrewd, hilarious, inspiring COYOTE VS ACME embraces the myth of Sisyphus, making the convincing argument that we must never stop fighting monopolistic corporations, even - and especially - if it's hopeless.

This might sound like a joke but I’m serious. Unless you have to read something for work or school, it’s fine to put it down if it’s not working for you after, say, 50 pages. I think as long as you know a classic’s influence and how it slots into the literary landscape, you’re good.
