We do have our favorite but surely wouldn't mind if Thomas Pynchon won the Nobel Prize too . . . and in Episode 32 we finish off 2025 by considering Shadow Ticket, the noir detective take on the 1930s by a writer who was surely a key influence on the early DeLillo (we read from an unpublished DeLillo letter summarizing that relationship) but who also seems to have been reading works like Running Dog over the years (or so we imagine in unpacking Shadow Ticket scenes invoking Chaplin and a “German Political Celebrity” named Hitler). We try to understand how Pynchon's latest examination of historical and potential fascism works in its 1932 setting, ranging from Milwaukee to Hungary, where reluctant protagonist and “sentimental ape” and “sap” Hicks McTaggart keeps adding on to his P.I. “tickets” in a strange search for a Wisconsin heiress and her Jewish musician lover but also what might ultimately be justice (a far from simple thing). Shadow Ticket is loads of serious fun, where Pynchon manages to examine the direst of turning points amidst scenes of bowling alley and motorcycle lore, dairy strikes, Prohibition's black markets, dance hall and speakeasy glamour, and something called “Radio-Cheez.” Bela Lugosi, vampires, a beautiful pig in a sidecar, and some of the most tasteless lamps in the world also play a role. The real content here for Hicks, though, is the prospect of spiritual and other forms of peace in a world where weapons from clubs to guns and submarines operate according to mysterious laws of “apport” and “asport,” occult material that interweaves with Hicks's strike-breaking past and raises connections to Gravity's Rainbow. Is Hicks's fellow orphan and young protégé Skeet Wheeler the father of Vineland's Zoyd, headed out to California as the novel ends? What's the meaning of Hicks failing to return to his home country, and what does cheese gangster Bruno Airmont's submarine fate have to do with Bleeding Edge? Are Hungary's shifting borders a new kind of “Zone”? What's going on in the novel's many Statue of Liberty references and its anachronistic allusions to a “Face Tube” for flirtation in bars? And how does this always funny writer, now in his late eighties, keep coming up with all these absurd songs (we sing some) and hilarious mock-movies like the one featuring “Squeezita Thickly” swimming in soup pots (Shirley Temple, is that you?)? Teasing out many connections to Gravity's Rainbow, Against the Day, and Vineland, this episode makes reference to just about all of Pynchon's other works, including even V. and his earliest short stories. At the same time, you need come to it with nothing but an interest in Pynchon's life and work. We doubt that we get every reference to history or previous Pynchon right or mount interpretations we won't later want to revise, but on this brand-new and captivating late work from a masterful author, we hope in nearly three hours of deep conversation and laughter that we've made a good start on the many critical readings to come. A partial list of references and quotations that we mention or paraphrase in this episode . . . On “prefascist twilight”: “And other grandfolks could be heard arguing the perennial question of whether the United States still lingered in a prefascist twilight, or whether that darkness had fallen long stupefied years ago, and the light they thought they saw was coming only from millions of Tubes all showing the same bright-colored shadows. One by one, as other voices joined in, the names began, some shouted, some accompanied by spit, the old reliable names good for hours of contention, stomach distress, and insomnia – Hitler, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Nixon, Hoover, Mafia, CIA, Reagan, Kissinger, that collection of names and their tragic interweaving that stood not constellated above in any nightwide remoteness of light, but below, diminished to the last unfaceable American secret, to be pressed, each time deeper, again and again beneath the meanest of random soles, one blackly fermenting leaf on the forest floor that nobody wanted to turn over, because of all that lived, virulent, waiting, just beneath.” (Pynchon, Vineland (1990)) On “second sheep”: “Our common nightmare The Bomb is in there too. It was bad enough in '59 and is much worse now, as the level of danger has continued to grow. There was never anything subliminal about it, then or now. Except for that succession of the criminally insane who have enjoyed power since 1945, including the power to do something about it, most of the rest of us poor sheep have always been stuck with simple, standard fear. I think we all have tried to deal with this slow escalation of our helplessness and terror in the few ways open to us, from not thinking about it to going crazy from it. Somewhere on this spectrum of impotence is writing fiction about it.” (Pynchon, “Introduction,” Slow Learner (1984)) The “Sloth essay paragraph” mentioned midway through: “In this century we have come to think of Sloth as primarily political, a failure of public will allowing the introduction of evil policies and the rise of evil regimes, the worldwide fascist ascendancy of the 1920's and 30's being perhaps Sloth's finest hour, though the Vietnam era and the Reagan-Bush years are not far behind. Fiction and nonfiction alike are full of characters who fail to do what they should because of the effort involved. How can we not recognize our world? Occasions for choosing good present themselves in public and private for us every day, and we pass them by. Acedia is the vernacular of everyday moral life.” (Pynchon, “Nearer, My Couch, To Thee” (1993)) Don DeLillo Papers, Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas-Austin The Motherland Calls statue, Volgograd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motherland_Calls  Pareidolia defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

Dr Ana Maria Villada has spent years unraveling the mysteries of sloths—creatures so physiologically unique that they're closer to chimpanzees than they are to each other. But her work treating electrocution injuries, creating rope highways through fragmented forests, and tracking hand-raised orphans released into the wild reveals something surprising: sloths are far more adaptable than science once believed.Right now, Ana is in Uzbekistan fighting to protect sloths from international wildlife trade. Yet back in Costa Rica, her biggest challenge isn't the dramatic rescues, it's answering a fundamental question: we still don't know if sloth populations are thriving or declining in the wild.Discover how the Sloth Institute's "sloth speedways" benefit jaguars, monkeys, and porcupines. Hear why hand-raised sloths can survive in the wild. And learn what makes treating a three-fingered sloth 31% more complicated than treating a two-fingered one.LinksLearn more about the Sloth InstituteAna Maria's professional Instagram page.Check out more details about Ana Maria's PhD at Andres Bello University, Chile. Read the press release and information about sloth trafficking for CITES here.We'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.

Hello Listeroonis!

Sloth isn't just about laziness—it's about avoiding what truly matters. In Proverbs, the “sluggard” isn't someone who can't act, but someone who won't—choosing comfort and distraction over responsibility and faithfulness. Whether it's physical apathy or spiritual drift, sloth slowly numbs our hunger for God and His kingdom. The cure isn't to try harder but to love deeper—because genuine love for God and others always leads us to meaningful, faithful action.Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E. Austin Ave in Hutto, TX. Can't make it in person? You are welcome to join us live on Facebook or YouTube.

The three-toed sloth moves painfully slow, yet is perfectly suited to its arboreal lifestyle. Despite its helpless appearance, it thrives in the forests of South America. Its life reminds us of our dependence on Christ for salvation and our call not to be spiritually slothful.

In this episode of Physically Spiritual, Andrew Reinhart converses with author Daniel Fitzpatrick about his book, Restoring the Lord's Day. They explore the significance of Sunday observance, the impact of sloth on spiritual life, and the essential role of family and liturgy in fostering a deeper connection with God. The discussion emphasizes the importance of engaging with God in everyday life, the transcendentals as patterns for family life, and the power of storytelling. Practical applications for observing the Sabbath are also shared, culminating in a reflection on Christ's ongoing work in our lives.Andrew's Substack - http://becominggift.com Become a Patron of Physically Spiritual - https://physicallyspiritual.com/ Get your copy of Restoring the Lord's Day - https://www.sojolk8trk.com/B5QSX3/261TC5C/ (affiliate link) Daniel's Website - http://www.restoringthelordsday.com More about Daniel and his other books - https://sl9art.com/daniel-fitzpatrick Daniel's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fitz.the.writer/?hl=en

This sermon was preached by Jared Clary, pastor of Norris Ferry Community Church, on October 13, 2025 and is part of the series 7 Deadly Sins of the Young Adult.

In der heutigen Ausgabe vom BrickCast spreche ich über die Goonies, Harry Potter, Stranger Things, Speed Champions und vieles mehr.

This sermon addresses the deadly sin of slothfulness, particularly focusing on "acedia" - a spiritual apathy that leads to avoiding God's call on one's life. The pastor emphasizes the importance of recognizing and repenting from this spiritual laziness, trusting God wholeheartedly, obeying His word, walking in community, and having a vision for victory. The message encourages believers to fully embrace their calling and not allow the spirit of acedia to neutralize their potential in Christ.

In this week's Frankly, Nate reflects on the multiple metaphors brought to mind via a single photograph, which depicts a sloth climbing a barbed wire fence in Costa Rica. Beyond evoking compassion for a species that's on the receiving end of human intervention into its ecosystem, the image raises larger ideas about the response of animals, including humans, to artificial cues and novel environments. Just as the sloth mistakes a fence post for the safety of a tree, modern humans mistake consumption, speed, and certainty for meaning. Moving beyond just the image, Nate unpacks the word “sloth” itself as one of the original seven deadly sins, offering a reimagining of what today's seven moral failings might be in the context of a global economic superorganism. Apathy, righteousness, and anthropocentrism might be today's major vices, which each have consequences for the environment and our relationship to it. Can we stand our ground locally against the global superorganism? How can we begin to reclaim agency and compassion – both for ourselves and the ecosystems we are inextricably a part of? Do our instincts no longer serve us in a world so rapidly and radically changed?

In this powerful RELATE series, we discover what it truly means to turn from sin to God. Repentance isn't about guilt—it's about agreeing with God about our sin and choosing His way instead of our own. This message exposes the root of the seven deadly sins—Pride, Anger, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, and Sloth—and reveals the virtues that conquer them: humility, patience, generosity, love, gratitude, self-control, and diligence. Learn how pride destroys relationships, how anger hides behind our desire for control, and how greed distorts our sense of security. Through Scripture and reflection, Pastor John challenges us to trade our “I deserve” mindset for God's greater reward and to live in true repentance.

The journey into the unknown and mysterious drives many a horror film. The two that we watched this week, The Descent (2005) and As Above, So Below (2014), travel in different methods, but hit some of the same milestones. Is the journey real, or all in your head? Is there ever any possibility of returning to your normal life after tragic events?

This Sunday, we kicked off a new series called Curing the 7 Deadly Sins. Over the next ten weeks we'll walk through struggles that have been tripping people up for centuries—Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath. More importantly we will discover the freedom Jesus offers in their place!This week we started the conversation with Pride! Pride so often sits at the root of the others, whispering that we can handle life on our own, that God's way is optional, that His grace isn't really needed. But the truth is, pride keeps us from seeing God clearly, while humility opens our eyes.This weekend wasn't just about naming sin, it's about finding freedom. Together we learned how humility opens the door to God's best. Tune into this week's message titled, “From Pride to Humility”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

What is Martha Plimpton's character doing at the beginning of this movie, bobbing for crabs? Is all this over-talking what it would be like if Robert Altman made a film with child protagonists? And why did they leave in that Sean Astin name flub take? PLUS: Move over Truffle Shuffle, it's the Bologna Bounce! The Goonies stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, Ke Huy Quan, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, Anne Ramsey, Lupe Ontiveros, Mary Ellen Trainor, and John Matuszak as Sloth; directed by the late, great Richard Donner.
