Player One by Douglas Coupland5/10/2023 ![]() His Cybertruck launch was a disaster, and the “Tesla in space” thing was cringey. And let’s also be certain about something else: we all hate a goody two-shoes, so come on, what kind of perfect behaviour is it you expect from a person, any person, let alone Elon Musk? But he seems like he’s only out for publicityĮlon Musk is actually terrible at publicity. And what’s in it for you to dis someone you don’t know, anyway? Being negative is a stupid person’s way of trying to appear smart without actually being smart. ![]() So since when does being a dick somehow invalidate you as a person? It doesn’t. She probably has to be a dick 10 times a week. ![]() So can I, and, if we’re being truly honest, so can, say, the Queen. ![]() So then, let’s be totally honest here, because in your heart, you know, and I know, dear reader, that you can be a real dick, too. ![]()

Teddy book jason rekulak5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In that mode, he executes well and sticks the landing. There are no shocking twists here, but Rekulak isn’t looking to keep readers up at night he’s holding a mirror up to white, affluent Gen X and asking pointed questions about class, trauma, and horror conventions. How is Anya manipulating Teddy? Could she be the murder victim? And why do Mallory’s concerns provoke such explosive emotion in Teddy’s parents? The plot unfolds at a good clip, and Mallory’s voice is engrossing, if occasionally too writerly for her working-class South Philly roots.

Ace of spades book genre5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It explores joy and beauty of being queer and as well as challenges which comes with it. I also liked how the story explores how class adds another layer of privilege, and this is exemplified in how Chiamaka, who grew up and lives in a rich neighbourhood and how it insulates her, versus Devon, from a poorer neighbourhood, differently navigate and perceive society and the spaces that they occupy. And being an outsider I enjoyed reading about it, got to learn something new. It doesn’t just discuss these themes but digs deeper and questions everything and it was compelling and downright chilling. I really appreciate how this book addressed a lot of heavy topics (racism, homophobia, elitism and white supremacy)in a short span of time all while staying within the interesting and dynamic plot line of a thriller. Two Black teens become the targets of an anonymous texter and they must work together to take them down. Broken people, broken by the way the world works.” This world, our world, the one with houses as crooked as the people in them. I am in awe of this book, and it is one of the most phenomenal debuts that I have ever read. I usually don't read synopsis so I was completely unprepared for what was going to come. Ace of spades was interesting, to say the least. ![]()

Hunger hamsun novel5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Pontus wanders the streets of Christiana moving from a semblance of rationality to hallucinatory madness yet still retaining his dignity and cool intelligence. ![]() Not only is he in every scene in the film, but the film can scarcely even be conceived of without his presence. Oscarsson totally captures the struggling author in a magnificent performance for which he won the award for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. Shot in black and white, the film captures the bleakness of a world looking for a soul. Based on Norwegian author Knut Hamsun's psychological novel of the same name, Henning Carlsen's Hunger probes the inner working of the mind of a talented young writer living in poverty and on the verge of insanity. He stops a policeman to inquire about the time, but insists that the officer is in error. He follows two young women on their walk through the city of Christiana (later Oslo) in Norway in 1890, yet keeps telling one of the women that she has dropped her book. His smile reveals a core of rotting teeth and his manner seems odd. At first glance, Pontus (Per Oscarsson) looks like a well-groomed businessman but on second look, there is something not right. ![]()
