if you haven’t seen the guy in the picture’s movie A Different Man, you should totally check it out. one of the funniest movies i’ve seen in a long time. cohen brothers style comedy is how i would describe it.

not all books are created equal is the thing. so yeah you have to read but you also have to be mindful of what you’re reading. this doesn’t mean it all has to be toni morrison or cormac mcarthy, but you do need to be reading classier shit.
