Hobgoblin. I tweet for no one.

I'm a trained historian - I can't do death of the author. All art is political and an expression of a culture in a specific place and time.

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Best book I've ever read.

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

It's taken me two, maybe three months and I'm just over 2/3 through Cartarescu's Solenoid. I don't think a book has ever kicked my ass like this before, and I mean that in the best way possible.

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Book's haunted.

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

"That's my favorite book, but you know it's the first of 5, and you got to read it all twice to get all of it."

"Cool."

"Yeah, it's not like regular sci-fi, it's more like Melvile or Proust."

"I've read Melville and Proust."

"Oh... Well you should be good."

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Being a regular who the staff actually likes is the best shit in the world. People want to be nice and do special shit for you if you give them an opportunity and don't take advantage of it.

This is why old men go to the same diner for 35 years and younger men rotate between six restaurants

At some point you either accept being known to the village or spend your life one friendly waiter away from starting over

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Dream blunt rotation.

ARE U KIDDING ME

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

We've overcorrected on the snobbery discourse in all art. A little snobbery is necessary. One of the reasons our culture feels like a dessicated corpse reanimated by vacuous corporate morons is because we got rid of snobbery as a check for authenticity.

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Nevermind that some of these titles are great, the issue isn't the actual books, it's the fact that some fans have decided the only book/s they ever read is the best book ever and anyone who disagrees is personally attacking them.

In contrast of the “literary” genre, Storygraph should create the “illiterate” genre. Here are some books I would include:

Pocketwatch Boyd Crowder is my favorite tv character. The perfect anti-villain.

[🟡 The tumboy 🟡 @TheTumboy]

started season 4 of Justified and for some reason Boyd has started dressing like he’s from the 1890s

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Lol no.

My buddies and I watched this in the theater in high school and loved it, thought it was so badass. And now we're all a bunch of woke leftists. The impact of single work of art on a person is negligible.

[yoshimi battles video game addiction @nise_yoshimi]

just watched. the most important film of the 21th century. video games, ultraviolence, the ancient world as redemption for the modern. i don't know zack snyder but i know he has perfected fascist cinema. beguiling and horrifying. they all think they're gerard butler

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

@ me coward

[a really nice young woman @twinkowensphd]

men be like: i’m living paycheck to paycheck! after i contribute to my 401k, my brokerage account, my savings account and buy every meal i eat.

Why is the picture on the album cover torn in half but underneath it is just the same picture?

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Villette is better than Jane Eyre and one of the best books I've ever read, full stop.

[✩︎⁎︎ ໒꒱ 🐇🪽🏹🦇 @d0d1eee]

yeah, i bought a few books again. sue me.

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

This @axios piece is so so so sooo humiliating 😆 we are witnessing a truly catastrophic level of societal brain rot right now

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

I regret to inform no one that the szechuan was too spicy today. I will do better next time.

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

All the Jackass dudes that have been pepper sprayed have said it's the worst thing they've experienced.

[𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 @beyoncegarden]

oh she’s BRAVE for this i’m crying😭

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

East of Eden is really the one book it seems like everyone who reads it loves. From lit snobs to romantasy fans and everyone in between. Truly a transcendent work of art.

[tea stoner 📚 79/75 @bookbeduion]

The category is another great book i would've never read if not for book twt

[Hotmilk Barca @Slugger0Toole]

Lmao even... I was flirting with academia in 2012 and every single professor was telling us the top row was dead and to do something else unless you were absolutely committed to being poor and unhappy.

[Dr. Alexander S. Burns @KKriegeBlog]

Saw this over on Facebook, maybe the top row was true before 2008, but I still have my doubts
