1. I am extremely wary of any of this because certain things cannot be translated from—
2. The Coen Brothers’ Blood Meridian
Martin Scorsese’s “Canterbury Tales”
That name cracks me up every time I see it
Picked up a piece I have always wanted. Colt Government Model, MKIV, Series 70
It’s beautiful
"Is that one chinese restaurant outside Fort Hood a Taiwanese op?"
"It's the one place that can make a Crab Rangoon that isn't soggy, IDGAF"
One of the strangest things I’ve witnessed is the relationship between CENTCOM and the Bayshore Dr scene
Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelly would be viably competing in a FL R primary if they were on the scene today
“Pursuing a sequence of unknowns to its origins in dark and wild places, or on the concrete anonymity of the city-scape, that action is what made him go”
Yeah, this gets it
Sex VS. Plato's Republic Cambridge Teals in the Political Theught Plato The Republic - strenuous if good, disappinting if bad - pleasure not guaranteed - more grunting than illuminating discussion - most people cant do all the forms - No Thrasymachus Transmis by The Games - invigorating no matter prior level of experience - 300 pages of beauty - basis for majority of western theoretical canon - allows access to all forms via philosophy - Has Thrasymachus
I sincerely did not expect “Heat 2” to be this good
Our project management platform keeps offering to summarize things for me. The most recent was just someone saying “Thanks!” to a file I uploaded. What are we doing, here?
Kayce Dutton was involved in several line of duty shootings as a Livestock Agent, at least one murder, and was neck deep in the assassination of a sitting governor. All without ever once attending an LEO academy. No fucking way he just becomes a U.S. Marshall.
“A person who wants to be happy must evidently pursue and practice self-control… He should not allow his appetites to be undisciplined or undertake to fill them up — that’s interminably bad — and live the life of a marauder.

Not as widely known as the others, but I submit local legend Tommy Silva for membership into the pantheon of awesome non-toxic masculinity along with Levar Burton, Bob Ross, Mr Rogers, etc
Oh, word?
And given that the average male will metabolize the alcohol in a standard American lager in one hour, if you pace yourself right, this is real doable
Next up!
I’m reading through the last 100 pages of White Jazz and it is every character in full. What a rocket ride
As someone who lived in Florida from 2011-2016, let me just say welcome to the party pal.
Ahem, I just want to say @ryanjhaas.bsky.social broke the news in @thewesternedge.bsky.social that PacifiCorp now owes Oregonians $1 billion

Please tell me this is the result of a municipal zoning variance application
Apparently it’s mostly Dudley before he left for the OSS. Internment Operations, Sleepy Lagoon, Zoot Suit Riots, Mickey C as Siebel’s bodyguard
From what I’ve gathered, Ellroy wrote another LA trilogy, but set in the 40s and part of it is the Dudley origin story. I’ve also head mixed reviews, so I’m unsure if I’ll tackle it.
City councilors who broke Oregon's public meeting law support changing Oregon's public meeting law.

Could you imagine a Dudley POV of LA Confidential?
I’m about 1/2 way done with White Jazz, and the Quartet is still as good as I remember. Honestly, maybe better. This is the first time I’ve read it straight through, and there are so many connections between the four novels.
