How I’m moving with this virus new

It’s crazy how much more productive I am when I wear earplugs.

I Ordered 25 Literary Journals to Ascertain the State of Anglo-American Fiction and I Just Sort of Want to Krill Myself.

All things considered, Ethel Cain’s music is way more boring than I was expecting.

Funniest thing about having Québec ancestry is realizing we’re all related.

xitter down?

Bluesky is great and all, but you can’t chop it up on the TL with world leaders like on Xitter.

I don’t think straight people know how common it was for middle class parents to send children suspected of being gay to conversion therapy. This wasn’t exclusive to evangelicals, the polite professional middle classes did this to their children en masse.

NATO is over.

Test

I have AMC A-List so I don’t really care if the global economy slams into a wall.

This war is basically an extinction level event for southeast asia.

Very clear to me that, in 10 years or so, there will cease to be free and fair elections in any developed nation. Maybe there will be a Cuba-like holdout.

What’s up my fellow libs and minorities

Made the mistake of buying an OLED tv this weekend, after only owning a crappy little 32” lesbian tv. Yeah, I’m never leaving the couch again.

Just randomly remembered what bologna tastes like. Haven’t had it in >20yrs.

Open the strait. Stop letting it be closed.

Great book

Always incredibly depressing to hear that most lit mags have more submissions than readers.

It’s kinda crazy they brought Maduro in chains to the speech, right?

Save us, pansexual figure skater.

Because she is going to be President of the United States.

Now that I’m Canadian, I can’t wait for the next monarchy election.

Just found out I’m a Canadian citizen. I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna move to Canada.

It’s sort of funny how much woker the US winter olympians are compared to summer olympians. They’re much wealthier, whiter, more educated.

Food takes are all ridiculous. Food is ridiculous. Oh you’re craving some specific dish? Grow up and drink a beer.

I don’t want the trains to run on time. I don’t want trains at all. I just want the roads to have no potholes.

You can tell someone didn’t grow up in California when you walk into their bedroom and see a painting hanging above the headboard.

@memles.bsky.social I’ve been reading some of your old blog posts on Mad Men. Great stuff, thank you.

Donald Trump is bad.

Hard to see any good future for the United States at all.

Just remembered that Peter Thiel was one of the original anti-polling guys.

It's simply true that young people are paying higher taxes than old people paid in their working lives, to fund benefits they will likely not see. "Pay 6.2% tax to fund the retirement of someone who paid 3.85% in their working life" is obviously unfair. www.ssa.gov/oact/ProgDat...

Going to get really into Zen in 2026.

I feel like everything costs a thousand dollars now.

America needs 100 years of austerity

They’re cooking the data, they’re eating the jobs.

This is what eating oreos feels like

Pretty funny that a single Trump post triggered the biggest liquidity run in crypto history

Came up with something in my sleep. Rye pizza dough with caraway.

One Brandon After Another

New lib signaling phenomenon in my neighborhood: taking down their stars & stripes, and putting up the California Republic flag.

Sora is not the real problem here. The real problem is that in 12, at most 24 months, there will be a Sora clone from Tencent or Alibaba that is just as good and can be run by anybody with a 5099, at which point everyone in society needs to rapidly agree to treat all digital video as fake, period.

I get a bit doleful when a dryer ball starts to fall apart and I have to retire it.
