The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. I've decided this is actually a good omen and I will not be examining that further.

Had to pause therapy until I get a new job and my therapist sent me an email today with a book rec and celebrating all the progress I’ve made and I KNEW I WAS YOUR FAVORITE, LINDSAY. I’m coming back for you, girl. Don’t worry.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

the only things I know about Marty Supreme at this point are that it has hype merch and Timmy Chalamet is involved, in spite of the fact that I’ve heard the movie mentioned 18 times a day for the past two weeks. At first I thought it might be a doc about Scorsese but now that seems unlikely

Merrill has terrible skin allergies so this is a medically necessitated onesie.

I'm not going back to Twitter because I'm not online to "combat the right," I am here to get rid of intrusive thoughts and maybe make like six specific women laugh

Since the last seaman disappeared, there has been a scuffle to fill the power vacuum.

Part of the Civil Rights Movement was a dignity claim that when you are in public you have a right to be spoken to in a neutral manner. Hamilton v. Alabama. This service worker may hate to serve me Cinnabons, but it is part of her job to serve every customer in the same manner.

Woke up feeling extra blue this morning. Self-medicating with A Charlie Brown Christmas and you know what? It’s not not helping.

you said it sister

So far the Game awards have given me the only scenario where I get excited about a Star Wars game and Miss Piggy. That’s 2-for-2 in the first couple of minutes of a show that normally gives me so many 0s I crawl out of my skin.

My theory is that everyone who was actually interested got a review copy. At this same time, this is wild.

The Texas Supreme Court said in October that judges may decline to perform marriages based on their religious beliefs. In response, Denise Hernández, a queer Latina judge, threw a Big Gay Wedding Party. With the @19thnews.org, we sent a fabulous photographer. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/10/b...

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

Replaying Prey (2017) for the first time in a few years and I would just like to remind everyone, yet again, that this game rules.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.

fellas, is it good when the ruling party requires public institutions to recruit for ideological youth cadres

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

3.5 weeks into a 2 month round of steroids for a truly catastrophic Crohn’s flare-up and — while the pain is still bad and I’ve lost like 15 lbs — I’m starting to feel like myself again. Today’s goals may surpass “shower” and “don’t vomit.” Sorry-not-sorry for the flex.

Animaniacs please do something

The Pantone color of the year is WHITE. The jokes are all trying to squeeze through my brain at once like the three stooges through a doorway.

The guy who invented it went on to invent a precise medicine dispensing system that Coke used to make the Coke Freestyle, so he did in fact end up creating one of the great inventions of our era

Am I…am I insufferable? No! I’m not. Am I? No. (I am.)

I have been unemployed and terribly sick since October. A lot of pain. A lot of isolation. But it is gray and rainy and my perfect, kind, sexy husband has put up Christmas decorations. I am going to snuggle up and enjoy it today.

The stupidest part about this is that we all know computers are absolute sluts and it’s ridiculous to pretend otherwise.

In the era of AI it’s more crucial than ever that social media sites add a serif to the lower case L

Art Briles has been hired as the head football coach at a D2 school and so is back in the news. If you want to understand why this hire is upsetting for many, here's the long piece @dansolomon.com and I wrote back in 2019 about How Baylor Happened: web.archive.org/web/20190208...

If you don't let your theater kid do theater they turn into fascists. That's what I've learned this decade.

I’m howling.

I love this post because it’s such a well observed and deeply felt reaction but also I cannot WAIT to be of the age where all my posts start with “I am now thinking about ___” no news peg, no clever way in, it’s so beautiful to know your thoughts now are enough

We’re finally watching Wicked, which means I got to unload all the Ariana Grande/Ethan Slater lore on Nolan against his will.

Ohhhhh it's the worst job market you've ever seen and I'll be umemployed forever? should we make a linkedin post about it? should we throw a party? should we invite charlie chaplin?

Terrific video essay — explains with great precision why so many recent movies look and feel so profoundly synthetic.

verily I say unto thee, heartbreak feels good in a place like this

Love this for him.

Leaving the house for the first time in 2.5 weeks to get a CT scan. The dream of being 90 is alive in Austin.

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

Bucket brought inside and released a live lizard for the second time this week. This one is now hiding in our bedroom. Trick AND treat!

I can’t stress this enough: you cannot understand politics without reading this paragraph about why there’s no such thing as a 1/3rd pound hamburger
