Thomas Pynchon is one of the greatest American authors. His novel Gravity’s Rainbow is one of the best ever. He appeared on The Simpsons. This tweet reminded me of it. I haven’t seen the shows.

I’m a big believer in physical media. Many of these films are on Blu-ray and DVD.
Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village is an enormous apartment complex in Manhattan. I lived there from 1953 when I was born until I was 10 in early 1964.
It was unique. One time, we moved within the complex and I changed schools. We had moved from 14th St. to 20th St. I remember seeing John F. Kennedy when he was running for president when he spoke at Stuyvesant Town.
Halloween was an indoor event. You just had to go around on your floor and one or two others and you were good. Did you read the Dick and Jane books in elementary school? My world didn’t resemble theirs. We were not allowed to have a big pet like a dog or a cat. I remember we had a small turtle.
We didn’t have a car for most of the time I lived there. As I recall, my parents were on a waiting list for a space at an outdoor lot. We got the car when we got the space. I went shopping with my father for the 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne which was black with a turquoise interior.
Back then, the apartments were not wired for air conditioning so we had a fan that was three or four foot tall fan.
This is an old abandoned movie theatre in downtown Baltimore that has been deteriorating for decades. Hopefully, what’s left can be renovated.

I hope he is held accountable for this. What a scumbag.
Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t fall out of the sky and land in a TV studio. The networks chose to broadcast her but they act like it wasn’t their choice.
“Hot Hot Hot” may be best known for the cover by Buster Poindexter (David Johansen) but it was originally recorded by Soca artist Arrow.
