Depois de um Verão recheado de insignificâncias e bizarrices grotescas, eis que chegam Mouret e "As Três Amigas".

Penso que desde Mademoiselle de Joncquires que Mouret se pergunta se se pode falar de justiça no amor. O libertino de Mme de J merecia uma lição, mas quem se magoou foi quem já estava magoado e ainda ia prejudicando outros. E, em "Três Amigas", só não se magoa quem está morto.

I needed to vent about knowing too much, about woke hypocrisy and misandry and *toxic masculinity*, but I'd end up exposing people, so I'll just boast about being honourable instead.

Read enough Fantasy books and no paper about tomb architecture will amaze you.

Fighting hard to prevent my Bronze Age characters from saying "dejá vu."

Much like the cool kid in high school performed not caring about what people said, so does the cool kid in social media pretend not to look for # about him. Social media is being permanently in high school.

I'm feeling like a version of Valmont who's considering sending all the evidence to the Daily Mail.

I finished Pride & Prejudice. I'm so emotionally detached from it that I'll make a cynical point: if I understood correctly, E only realised F was a good match when she saw Pemberley, right? (Christopher Lasch's Angry Ghost, this is an example of twitter inspired wittycism).

wow they did not understand me at all *likes reply*

"Lol, men don't read." "Ugh, men reading are attention seekers." Maybe there's a pipeline somewhere.

Waiting for Hadas Weiss to review Katabasis and tell us if it accurately portrays Academia.

On a more elaborate note, this review pretty much sums up DT's weak points: his fixation on useless detail and lack of focus on the core of the stories. Those dresses are example: they always devour the actresses, etc.

#AlienEarth is White Lotus's sibling: stupid, boring, filled with moronic characters in service of a pompous story we're supposed to think is very deep.

The belief that words have almost magical powers to change reality going hand in hand with a general collapse in public literacy. “Language alone shapes the world,” it is proclaimed, as the written world itself sheds its former centrality.

Hamnet, Pillion, Sentimental Value, The Secret Agent, Just an accident. But mostly Hamnet, Pillion, and the Secret Agent.

I finally realised we're the ghosts haunting Kristen Stewart in Olivier Assayas' "Personal Shopper".
