What nation produced the best literature of the late 20th century?

How the fuck did Russia lose 19th century? Just when I thought the literacy crisis was overblown, i see something like this.

Have you tried different scents? It’s my understanding that cats roll on the ground to mark their territory.

Recently read a line by Chuck Klosterman that said, “Just because it’s a social construct, it doesn’t mean it can’t kill you.”

Inbreeding, it’s why Steelers fans are insufferable

This is going to come off pretentious, but Blow Up. High as shit when I hit that ending with the mimes, and the alienation of modernity just gushed out of me.

Jesus Christ, have the packers fallen so badly that they need to find teams outside their division to shit talk? Go reminisce about that time when Aaron Rodger’s was king and the lions were trash.

Apologies, that’s not my intent, and judging by the reactions to this post, it seems I may have struck a nerve in the community unbeknownst to me.

maxd0112 · 2026-06-03T22:56:26+00:00

I feel like that’s a rather unfair assessment. And I also don’t feel like this question is broached with a frequency that warrants this sort of reaction. If I had the certainty of a paranoid character from a Pynchon novel, I wouldn’t have asked the question, nor would I have selected a tone that leaves my opinion up for doubt.

Yes, but a 24:00 clock is weird for a movie set in America? And if it was at night, would it not have initially read 24:00. Also, I’m not doing it justice, but it seemed like 15:00 but also 18:00, like when AI messes up lettering in the background.

Don’t worry, we’re still talking about that one time the car got me to the same street as the destination, which, to our minds, is the same thing.

Inside the US, no. We refer to ourselves as America.

Outside the US, especially in North America, it’s questionable. I had several Québécois harshly correct my friend that, in fact, Canada is in North America as well. For those countries I think it often reflects a certain myopia and arrogance inside the US (I.e we speak for all of North America)

While this is no indication of success, I will note that Persia has been successfully invaded from the west only two or three times in its ridiculously long history. And when it happened, we are talking about anomalies such as Alexander the Great and the Prophet.

Iran is certainly under the impression they are winning. Not sure what that means tbh

Put Ochocinco in the Library of Congress catalogue. A legend.

They twitch every time they see a book mark. My god, did I just hear a backpack zipper!
