we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

No one believes me when I say this, but the decline in reading is already having dire consequences for art & culture. The media you loved in your youth—shows, albums, films—was made by artists who were widely read. You will not have that quality of art in a post-literate world.

we actually can’t be surprised at people not seeing value in speculative fiction if this is what a popular scifi author is saying. anyway le guin would’ve hated his books

[santos-inistas @JDabknee]

“modern literature produces no classics” — well you must not be a Ravenclaw 🤭. These easily clear those dusty white “classics” you all love to mansplain. 🤷‍♂️

@KirkSeriousFace so sorry Kirk. it’s always so painful to lose them but it sounds like Huck was incredibly well loved.

oh so everything novels are fine but when they make a MOVIE about everything at once���

McCarthy: drops an all-time banger of a sentence. Old monosyllabic words afforded a spiritual dimension by a beautiful tweak of conventional syntax. A sentence that rings like a gong.

Nytimes: It's clunky because there should be a comma in there somewhere.

I disagree with Timothee Chalamet about opera (crowd cheers), because all art is essentially bad (crowd boos), in the Culture Industry sense! (crowd cheers) except for one medium, which encompasses all previous forms (crowd nodding expectantly), “gaming” (booing intensifies)

moral obligation to set this on fire if you see it in the real world

[ursula c 👹 @cloglover69]

It’s sooooo Evil in San Francisco, this was in the little free library

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

The idea that writers should read exponentially more than they write was completely uncontroversial among writers (Cormac McCarthy said there should be a 100:1 ration of books read to books written) until the new barely literate generation came along.

@HerohomMel no i was just not expecting to cry at a Benoit Blanc flick 🥲 but i’m a sucker for depictions of grace and forgiveness sooooo the end really got me

[harlan ellison enjoyer @watershipdune]

no. this just happens sometimes and we should all accept it. i cried watching the third Knives Out.

[squeaky fromme the block @averpee]

Hey so the movie everyone has been saying is really bad made me cry so hard I almost pissed myself. Am I stupid

[Keith Orejel @keithdorejel]

Just an all time Marge banger. Gets me everytime

[Dan Walden @dwaldenwrites]

For @the_point_mag I wrote one if the most personally important essays I’ve ever written. My experience teaching great books has been utterly transformative, and I think that if you’re on the left you should be all in on it. https://t.co/3ZAXbrA86u

[Madeleine Baker @madeleineebaker]

I completely agree that these two movies are pretty much the best imaginable output from a studio like Warner Bros. in the 2020s. Now to take a big sip of water and search for the latest news on Warner Bros.

[Farran Nehme 🇱🇧 @selfstyledsiren]

Park Chan-wook has spent the past few years making superb, career-best movies—but the Academy ignored NO OTHER CHOICE as they did my personal favorite (so far) DECISION TO LEAVE. You have to be philosophical about awards, but I do wish it were otherwise.

[harlan ellison enjoyer @watershipdune]

(i forget the extent to which this is actually confirmed but) Freud supposedly also alludes to his friendship with Rilke in “On Transience” - really really worth the read

[anna @moonbeeaam]

The only time Freud mentions Rilke, he calls him “the great poet who was a little helpless in facing life”

[harlan ellison enjoyer @watershipdune]

my pick for the movie that deserved way more love this year. honorable mention to no other choice

[em @filmlver]

sorry, baby i’m so sorry i wasn’t your voter
