Dead Celebrity (Part 2)

Sure they did random capitalisation in the age or random spelling but post standardisation and the introduction of style guides (essentially US 19th century) it went away.

It’s back baby.

Whoever writes that stuff for Trumpy must have realized Trumpy only reads the capitalized words. Saves time.

The Swimmer. One of the oddest and psychologically “frightening” films I’ve ever watched. Comes out of left field with a smack.

Yep, surreal, in a way that I thought exposed the surreal fantasy of toxic suburban masculinity. Maybe John Cheever, the closeted gay author of the short story it’s based on, was well positioned to see through that fantasy.

Michelle Obama on the passing of Rosalynn Carter:

"When our family was in the White House, every so often, Rosalynn would join me for lunch, offering a few words of advice and always — always — a helping hand. She reminded me to make the role of First Lady my own, just like she did. I’ll always remain grateful for her support and her generosity.

"Today, Barack and I join the world in celebrating the remarkable legacy of a First Lady, philanthropist, and advocate who dedicated her life to lifting up others. Her life is a reminder that no matter who we are, our legacies are best measured not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch. We send our thoughts and prayers to Jimmy and the entire Carter family during this difficult time.“
