ninety9: Always love the last week of the year: outlets that produce insipid self-important prose publish on a ‘reduced schedule’ so the people who normally write there can submit year-end posts to all the other outlets that produce insipid self-important prose. Except with even less copy-editing.

My lady friend used to work at some movie production house during high school (late 90’s), and she said Adrien Brody was salivated over more than any other actor who came in (and there were more popular ones at the time). I thought that was interesting.

“Not one thing, but everything tradition attributes to Judas Iscariot is false.”
– On this, the day of Christ’s birth, it’s important that we remember that Borges’s Three Versions Of Judas is probably the most important thing ever written. (via deepomega)

ninety9: skybarn: Christopher Hitchens and the protocol for public figure deaths youngmanhattanite: Hitchens was obviously more urbane and well-written than the average neocon faux-warrior, but he was also often more vindictive and barbaric about his war cheerleading. One of the only writers with the courage to provide the full picture of Hitchens upon his death was Gawker‘s John...

the people rushing to eulogize hitchens in a paean to reckless drinking and sometimes reckless writing (e.g. this) are the same people that defended sartre’s attacks on camus, and his glorification of the soviet’s brutal implementation of communism with shadow executions and labor camps.

Ken Dryden on concussions and fighting in the NHL →
I’m 3/4 of the way through The Game where Dryden offers some anecdotes on why fighters are necessary for self-policing in the NHL. Then Matthew and those Times articles convinced me fighting should be banned from the sport. Then this happened. Now you’re all caught up. Go and read.

So I never drank with Hitchens in a bar, but I once did some cocaine with a shirtless, tattooed tweaker who claimed to be Hitchens in a bar bathroom. Isolationism never seemed sexier.
