Jeremiah stops. His eyes are wide and he is terrified. He looks down with outstretched arms at his legs. “Dude,” he says, voice shaking. “Where are my fucking pants?” CANADA VACANT by @jamdraper ↓

I think people often laugh at the wrong time during movies at the theater but, like… this is still Nathan Fielder lol
jack of all trade@notjacktwistOct 23
they should offer two types of screenings for You Can See Everything: one for normal people and one for people who want to performatively laugh at everything that’s humorous or awkward

"Strange to fictionalize a life whose veracity isn’t yet solidified, as if its goodness prevents it from crossing the threshold into confirmed reality. A danger, once mythologized, it will never be true." Don't miss @BSkergio's wonderful new story in The Bulb Region today.

I’m at the library right now monopolizing every desktop. They’re yelling at me, telling me to leave, threatening to call the police, but I am standing down and standing by

I'm hearing YCSE tickets are unavailable around the country because supporters of @alexL_E_I are going into checkout, selecting all of the seats, and letting the timer run down over and over.

The saga continues with Thomas McGuane’s most recent (and hopefully not last) novel. When people tell you to read McGuane, they always tell you to read early McGuane. Not sure why they exclude his later stuff, which includes tons of great work.

Hemingway’s obsession with bullfighting is one of the least interesting things about him.

In 1952, Ernest Hemingway read a novel by a 30-year-old Yale graduate and former bullfighter, branded him a fraud, and launched a secret war to defend his turf. newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

What's this, a thoughtful critical review? @jamdraper didn't love this collection but approached it with care (despite his personal vendetta against Cleveland).

“Probably, Ohio” is a collection full of paradoxes. Though it is nihilistic, cracks of light shine through and leap off the page. It is a gift to see the good in the bad and imbue hopeless disaster with mystical divinity. @jamdraper on "Probably, Ohio" by Cameron Mays ↓

Submitting classic novel excerpts to hardworking indie lit mags is pointless, unfunny and misanthropic
