The pace of babies born each year in the U.S. has slowed to a new record low, according to an analysis of 2023 birth certificate data published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Last year’s slowdown marks an official end to the uptick in new babies that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. At least 3,591,328 babies were born in the U.S. in 2023, down 2% from the 3,667,758 born in 2022.
In case i wasnt clear enough i was quoting a book/movie character, Tyler Durden. I’m not that poetic.
Unless you already knew that
Palahniuk is one of the few authors I like. I rarely make time for fiction anymore, sadly.
The film of Fight Club Brad Pitt def earned my respect for what he brought to Durden, how MUCH he brought. The onscreen character was like 90% Brad Pitts creation, and he fuckin nailed it.
I like the movie ending better for the movie and the book ending better for print, oddly enough. Capping it off with the Pixies got me to stand and clap in the theatre, (the matrix did the same with RaTM, my🥇) but i had been a huge Pixies fan since the early 90s, so it was cool for them to get some exposure…even tho it was the 90s, I never susbscribed to the GenX sellout/underground cool spiel, I had listened to Sublime and the Offspring for years before they both took over the radio, I was happy for em. Get paid for your art. thats my little millennial dream …
I agree. The part on the bus in the end of the book just wouldn’t have the same punch in film
