Bought Thomas Pynchon’s Shadow Ticket today at my local indie bookseller (if I can say that without being accused of virtue signaling).

a book review that never formally ends because the reviewer keeps re-reviewing the book every 5-7 years to see how their life/cultural circumstances changes the experience of reading the book

Today had to tell my shrink who Nikola Jokić is. Despite the fact that it’s Jamal Murray who much more determines the ups and downs of my emotional life

What a terrifically wonderful Nick Cage performance in wild over the top “Bad Lieutenant: New Orleans.” Totally unprepared to learn—(which probably everyone else knows)—that Werner Herzog directed.

A reporter asked Jayson Tatum, who grew up a big Kobe Bryant fan, what it will mean to young kids to see a big star like Luka Doncic playing for the Lakers. Tatum did not seem to enjoy the line of questioning.
"I don't know," Tatum said. "I know a lot of kids watch the Celtics play."
The reporter then said it's a big change for the league.
"Yeah, it was a big trade and a big change," Tatum replied. "But I'm not a little kid anymore so I don't really watch the Lakers play. I'm a big Celtics fan."

One of the most important ideas that Lynch was very adamant on was the ability for viewers to intuit and interpret his work. You already have all that you need to understand it.

this is shocking ! there was something about David Lynch that seemed timeless, ageless. it is even surprising to learn that he was 78... perpetual youth & freshness of the imagination.
Director-writer David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and network television with “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78. bit.ly/40is3yQ

Happy New Year! Some MATH for 2025:
1. 2025 itself is a PERFECT square: 45² = 2025
2. It is a product of two squares, namely: 9² × 5² = 2025
3. It is the sum of THREE squares, namely: 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
4. The last perfect square? 1936
44² = Year 1936
5. It is the sum of the cubes of all the digits from 1 to 9:
1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2025
6. It is also the squared sum of all the numbers from 1 to 9: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²=2025
The year 2025 is MATHEMATICALLY remarkable.
Let's hope it is also remarkable on the human level!
Health, happiness, prosperity and peace for all! 😀🎉

Eyes Wide Shut is not only a Christmas movie but a Christmas classic, a holiday staple

Please, Basketball Lord, let this be the shot that gets the Celtics to the quarterfinals

somehow, the very young Mike Tyson still seems like the "real" Tyson: the fiercely dedicated young boxer under the tutelage of beloved trainer Cus D'Amato, supported & loved by manager Jimmy Jacobs & his wife Loraine. ever after D'Amato's death--(& it has been a long time now)--Mike Tyson has seemed unmoored, wayward; not always in a negative way but in some deeper, inward way. he has become a worldly, funny-wise cynic, an entertainer essentially contemptuous of his audience & of himself.
but--still--the young Tyson remains, hopeful & yearning. this match is just for money & for fun; a "sports" match analogous to the clown circus mockery of government shaping in the White House.
From @TheAthletic: At 58 years old, Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul, the 27-year-old YouTube-star-turned-boxer who wasn’t even born when Tyson’s career was in its prime. As "Iron Mike" prepares for his comeback, we look back at his evolution by the decade. nyti.ms/3CnmCX1

Went to Square Books as soon as they opened and grabbed my copy of Richard Price’s new one, LAZARUS MAN. Been so damn excited for this and having a hard time putting it down at work. Price is one of the all-time greats—should be a much bigger deal that this book is out today.
