Notes on Cockwomble - by Ben Sixsmith
2024-12-04
There is nothing worse than a media figure - even a marginal one - poaching the work of smart people without their platforms, so let me acknowledge, before I begin, that the “cockwomble” concept is not of my own making. JD, Kunley Drupka and Jossarian, among others, have made vital contributions to the emerging field of Wombology. This is a humble attempt to draw together multiple insights on Homo womble, all of which could be disputed.
Notes on Groyper - by Aidan Walker
2024-12-04
I’ve been thinking about Groypers lately, which is never a great mental space to be in. If you don’t know what Groypers are, I am sorry that I am about to tell you.
”Groyper” is a version of Pepe the Frog, a meme beloved by the alt-right but also widely spread in other contexts. Pepe famously became an icon of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, at the same time as he became a meme people who liked Trump posted online — memes are always multifaceted.
So Nottingham Forest have retained their status in England’s top flight after two victories in their last three games left them six points clear of the relegation zone.
This was achieved despite a 4-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), which was confirmed after the club was unsuccessful in its appeal, Their fans will believe that justice has been done, as Forest did enough on the pitch to ensure survival, while others might argue that this successful campaign was only made possible by the financial excesses that resulted in the club failing to comply with the PSR targets.
Some love from the other side of the country tonight: sunset from San Francisco.
The best part of this book tour has been meeting so many new friends and seeing so many old ones. That part is going to continue for months to come, but I’m not unhappy that tonight I’m winging my way home for a spell.
Late flight so taking tonight off. Will see you tomorrow.

We recently discovered that Novo Brazilian Brewery has opened a new location in Mission Valley. They have four other locations—all in the South Bay. This is their first location in San Diego and it will be their flagship establishment working in a relationship with Snapdragon Stadium. I also read they will be in the new Terminal 1 at the airport when it reopens. We had recently received a Novo Gift card, but didn’t want to drive to Chula Vista for a beer, so we were delighted to hear of the new location near us.
Adapted from the American novel named "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, Oppenheimer is the one of the most anticipated movies of this year and I can assert that it deserves all the hype that has been revolving around it. Directed by Christopher Nolan, one of the best directors I have ever come across, he is a class apart for me as he never fails to portray through his films(Oppenheimer is no exception),how human beings are the creators and destroyers of this world while science and technology act as mediums of creation or destruction, mere pawns in the hands of the human beings and sometimes, when the burden of the consequences becomes too heavy, humans have to pay for their actions- their moral conscience smirks at them with everything going haywire.

Now We Can AMC Some of WTF is Going On
2024-12-04
The AMC settlement was noticed to stockholders at the beginning of May after a bit of a bumpy start, and the weeks that have followed have been some of the craziest I can remember. And I’m the person who just survived what I thought were the craziest months on record last year at the hot molten core of the Twitter v. Muskfiasco. But this AMC thing is another level of woah altogether.
