Pretty wild mural painted over the men's room urinals at a restaurant we went to last night (if they don't call it a "murinal" they should). I thought it was hilarious but I wonder how many others would have a very different reaction.

I’m sufficiently enraged that I will go for a run now instead of taking a nap.
DHL in Germany is the worst and they keep adding reasons by the week. Today: instead of using location/neighbors I provided, they sent my package to a »Packstation ohne Display« for which you need the DHL app that I can't download because it’s not available in the U.S. app store. Fuck these fuckers.

"For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!"

If anyone is in the Whitehaven area, could you pop over to the Jawas and ask if they have any secondhand droids for sale, thanks.

헤어질 결심 (Resolution to Break Up) by Park Chan-wook, 2022

✅ If there’s a worthy successor to classics like Vertigo or The Maltese Falcon, it’s this.

✅ Hard to tell what’s more spellbindingly seductive—Tang’s performance or Kim’s cinematography.

✅ Nothing in this brilliant script by Jeong/Park is w/o meaning, with layers & layers of subtexts in a mazelike plot.

“Decision to Leave” is fine; the dumbest distribution title award goes to Germany’s Die Frau im Nebel (The Woman in the Mist).
