Increasingly, scriptural historians believe the story of Onan is an interdiction of coitus interruptus, not masturbation. And when we get the Vatican seal on that, we're rebounding, big time – The Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church: Hit It Raw, Bust Inside, Jack Your Shit.
Look, it's Lula. And it's Lula against US, which adds a whole extra layer. Save your bullets. The left has nobody up next. We run Flávio, hope he wins by accident or someth- ... Flávio heyyyy! You gonna be President? Yeah? I bet you are. I bet you are. Gotta go. You da man!
“Flávio has given up,” an adviser to the Bolsonaro family told me. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week and that he may have a long prison term ahead.”

With percussion instruments, you generally don't want to hit them dead center; the vibrations try to escape in every direction at once, so they hit each other and cancel out or create dissonant interference waves. The sweet spot is just off-center. Remember that. You'll need it
Given time & place, terms & conditions, this fuckin rules. The arrangement, weird shape of the melody, actually surprising and serious Scando fatalism of the lyrics, the plain quiet tear-downs, the way Agnetha can go big without showbiz desperation

There are, to my knowledge, maybe 6 or 7 absolutely goddamn brilliant Abba singles, if you're the kind of person who's listening to the whole structure, how it's put together, where it swerves or shock-stops. This could *almost* be Paul McCartney

I always forget till I rewatch it that LOST HIGHWAY also has a part for one of my favorite should've-been-leading-ladies of the era, Natasha Gregson Wagner. As in Robert Wagner. As in she's the daughter of Natalie Wood. Maybe a different degree of investment than Robert Loggia
Somebody should make a movie of this 12-year-old fantasy shit and actually use 12-year-olds. Play it totally straight, the dialogue is film-noir slick and choppy, they're driving cars and going to bars and getting into drugs, adult competence, but as dumb adolescents
That's why it's LOST HIGHWAY, you see. The first half is about the jealous, possessive fantasies about women that Hollywood pumps out, which is why she gets cut up into the Black Dahlia, & the 2nd half is retroactive "A devil woman done me wrong for no reason" self-justification
One of my favorite alternate-reality movies: alongside LOST HIGHWAY, Lynch doing his version of a biopic, with ’90s Gary Oldman as Hank Williams. Books of hell. A deck of cards, a jug of wine, a woman's lies, a life like mine.

That's why RFK Jr. gets it in with busted reporters. You can't be around a man who lives in gritted-teeth struggle not to let his blood escape and not, eventually, find him courageous. Even perhaps sort of a Pietà-in-waiting, holding the blood for all us sinners out here
He is, to be fair, a one-man refutation of humorism, because the Sanguine (who have lots of blood) are supposed to be calm, wise, and content, and RFK has the most blood. You can actually hear him fighting to contain it
He may believe this is true, as his theories of medicine generally pre-date the Islamic Golden Age of 800-1250 AD
