Please read my new piece in THE ONLY LIT MAG IN THE WORLD, a paranoid transmission from a bleak city in a bleak time

[BRUISER @bruisermag]

Jeremiah stops. His eyes are wide and he is terrified. He looks down with outstretched arms at his legs. “Dude,” he says, voice shaking. “Where are my fucking pants?”

I think people often laugh at the wrong time during movies at the theater but, like… this is still Nathan Fielder lol

[jack of all trade @notjacktwist]

they should offer two types of screenings for You Can See Everything: one for normal people and one for people who want to performatively laugh at everything that’s humorous or awkward

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

Unreasonably excited about this

"Strange to fictionalize a life whose veracity isn’t yet solidified, as if its goodness prevents it from crossing the threshold into confirmed reality. A danger, once mythologized, it will never be true."

Don't miss @BSkergio's wonderful new story in The Bulb Region today.

I’m at the library right now monopolizing every desktop. They’re yelling at me, telling me to leave, threatening to call the police, but I am standing down and standing by

[Screen Slate @ScreenSlate]

I'm hearing YCSE tickets are unavailable around the country because supporters of @alexL_E_I are going into checkout, selecting all of the seats, and letting the timer run down over and over.

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

The saga continues with Thomas McGuane’s most recent (and hopefully not last) novel.

When people tell you to read McGuane, they always tell you to read early McGuane. Not sure why they exclude his later stuff, which includes tons of great work.

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

@fender_belly I think I like the idea that both artists’ obsession with bullfighting is a strong reflection of their worldview way more than the actual depictions of it

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

Hemingway’s obsession with bullfighting is one of the least interesting things about him.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

In 1952, Ernest Hemingway read a novel by a 30-year-old Yale graduate and former bullfighter, branded him a fraud, and launched a secret war to defend his turf. https://t.co/WHtsV8lKUE

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

@fender_belly Yeah. It’s not a handwringing thing for me, it just doesn’t move me. In his books where he speaks about bullfighting I’m like ok let’s get past it

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

@CWaddington504 @norabird Love that chapter. To be clear: I still enjoy his work that revolves around bullfighting, it’s just not the interesting part of it to me… if that makes sense

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

@norabird Do I need to put “opinions are my own” in my bio?

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

@norabird It’s boring

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

@indigojackal It was my cat’s decision not mine

[Jameson Draper @jamdraper]

Thank you to everyone who responded. My cat has requested Todd Haynes’ FAR FROM HEAVEN.
