If you are easily offended by delicate or obscene subject matter, this 2010 concert film is, clearly, blatantly, spectacularly⊠not for you. Come to think of it, if you are…ce of modern day America, he saves his strongest contempt for himself. The best stand-up is often that which lays bare the desperation and pain of our brief and ridiculous moment on earth and allows us to laugh at the most fragile and childish of our own instincts. At its best this film recalls some of the finest moments of his heroes, Pryor’s ability to make us laugh at his most painful moments and Carlin’s ability to dissect the absurdity of his…

Census
How does one convey a sense of understanding about something that is significantly hard to describe â whether due to its ephemeral qualities, or because the subject is profoundly personal?…ed within a short paragraph. And an impressive amount of language pushing, which holds up against the steep standards placed by the comparisons to Borges and Calvino that Ball has received. Truly otherworldly writing in the best ways that those giants of literature have shown to be possible. A road trip from towns A to Z with tattooing and physiotelepathy – this is my current favorite book of 2018!…

Three Solo Pieces
Ukrainian-Canadian composer Lubomyr Melnyk is positive that he’s the fastest pianist in the business. A boast from his website reads: “in exactly 60 minutes, Melnyk sustained an average speed of over 13 notes per second in each hand, yielding a remarkable total of 93,650 INDIVIDUAL notes.” Despite Melnyk’s dexterity and technique, listening to Three Solo Pieces feels nothing like a frantic, fast paced album. Rather, this “Continuous Music” record…
Pootie Tang
A case for Pootie Tang, a micro-essay. Genius comic Louis C.K. had written a script based on a character from the Chris Rock Show and brought it to the big…of underhanded schemes, attempts to attach Pootie’s likeness to unhealthy fast food, malt liquor and cigarette smoking. Despite the critical wrath and lampooning from late night talk shows, Pootie Tang still delivers plenty of laughs in its crazy, surreal music video-esque style. Though many cite the film as a “so bad it’s good” romp, I enjoyed the picture in the most genuine way possible. I found myself laughing loudly throughout and having to c…

In the car and at various breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner tables they battle it out with celebrity impersonations, vocal range and improvisational wars. The comedic competition is never ending, but never ceases to be funny. Contrasting the humor is Coogan’s desperation in private moments. Cell phone conversations (with a weak signal) to Mischa, his ex-wife, son and agent reveal the actor’s lonelier s…
April 1, 2023 – Chatbot writes Forbes Libraryâs news post!
April 1, 2023 â Forbes Library was one of the first libraries to implement a team of AI chatbots to improve operational efficiency. The chatbots were programmed to assist with tasks such as book…ther integration of technology and automation across all library services and, ultimately, made the human librarians redundant. Forbes Library, once a hub for community engagement with a warm, human touch, is now a sterile, AI-dependent environment. The chatbots that were created to augment the librarians have now taken over their roles entirely, and the library is run entirely by machines.

While Mortals Sleep
In his touching preface, writer Dave Eggars refers to Kurt Vonnegut Jr. as a âhippie Mark Twainâ. Never has Vonnegutâs appeal been described so accurately.

This is the second posthumously released collection (the first being Look At the Birdie) and it focuses solely on the author’s early work before receiving literary notoriety.
