3 (2025)

Start with a worn out premise, the hero's impending death. Then add in bad acting, a worse script, and heavy handed polemics and you get 3 , which is the worst movie I've even seen in my life. This is technically true since I walked out of Somewhere in Montana. There is nothing good about 3, nothing...

just did the math

I haven't ever really thought about this before but people are smoking a hell of a lot of weed. I got curious and looked up some numbers. Not going to rehash them here but damn, people must be getting wrecked. And that's just weed and not all the other stuff. We're doomed. I don't have any answers. ...

Somewhere in Montana

When I left the theater after watching 3 I was convinced it was the worst movie I've even seen. That remained true for 24 hours when I walked out of Somewhere in Montana . This piece of shit made my brain hurt and my blood simmer. I wish I had stuck around to tell the director of this steaming turd ...

holy hell that was crazy

At this point we've all had a bizarro world experience with the surveillance state, but here's one that shook me. I was looking for a clip from the Charlie Kaufman film I'm Thinking of Ending Things. . What I got instead was a message saying "you're not alone" and a number for a hotline. Y...

Correct response to psychological trauma?

Bram, RR, thanks for the thoughts. I used to think that some people sustain trauma and are then okay(ish). But many people are scarred. For some that motivates them. On Soft White Underbelly most of the people he has on are simply broken and react to their trauma in unhealthy ways, but some have man...

Right now I'm reading

Taking it as a good reminder to not recommend books until I've finished them. I have to follow that rule as well. It took me forever to finish CHAOS once I posted my review. Have to not assume "oh, it will be quick" and jinx myself. Also, there's one book I liked based on the first 30 pag...

Spoilers if you haven't watched the last round of the Ding-Gukesh match yet and want to. For those who haven't seen it, the match was tied going into the last game and the last game looked like a draw but Gukesh played on, hoping for a miracle. And Ding blundered. He went from a drawn position to a ...

Thanks, I'll pick it up on my next book buying spree.

I hate parts of myself. But that hasn't made them go away or even stop doing their thing. I'll look into the approach you suggest.

Emerson wrote that our moods do not believe in each other.

But I wonder, who is the real me? Who is ...

Meditations Before Mass , Sophia Institute Press edition. This is a collection of essays on how one can best prepare for a religious service but the ideas can be applied more generally. It's very thought provoking, leading me to rethink some things about my default settings. I guess I should explai...

How do we hang on?

I think I have to take this as both a daily thing and a project, but with the emphasis on hitting each day as hard as I can. It's scary for me to feel like I'm losing it but I have to not let that feeling drag me further into the abyss. I feel like I'm coming apart and then I do things I shouldn't. ...

All of my best stories come from deep suffering. I have to put more of it on the page. I feel like I'm losing it but that has been a self fulfilling belief. I have to pour it out like I used to in my log, except in my stories this time. For a long time I believed that successful people have a better...

How do we hang on?

Thanks for the thoughts. I think for me influences are a big part of it. I get a lot of extreme ugliness from people in my life. It feels me with rage, hate and self loathing. It's every day. I'd like to stay inside for at least six months to train and see if life is any better then. For some people...

Panacean vices

Buddhists talk about panacean virtues like right speech, where if you practice it you are almost automatically doing, or compelled to do, other good things. And there are pernicious vices like drug use which lead to other bad things. But it occurred to me that there are panacean vices as well. I say...

There's a question that comes up for me, especially in Winter. We all know a lot of things we should do for better mental and physical health.

What do you guys think is the proper response to psychological trauma? Obviously there are things people don't come back from, and there are many reactions that people have and people differ in their ability (willingness?) to recover. But I wonder what the right response is. No response I've ever ha...
