timehop to 2015 when we had silly little bots everyone clicked for a single thursday that would take your twitter account and make a poem and you'd be like "alright ha" and nothing burned down the planet or fed a palantir database to arrest your neighbors hm ok i guess i still talk like this. eggs.

bonus: as i finished this at the bar some guy asked what i was reading. i said (oversimplifying) it’s apocalyptic fiction about ice covering the whole earth. he was lit up and asked if i’d read Parable of the Sower. i went hell yeah big fave, if you like that, try this. readers stay winning

Hello. I just found out that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”, and now I need you lot to know that a death metal band has covered John Cage’s 4’33”. youtu.be/voqCQSDAcn8

the opening credits of LADY IN A CAGE (1964) go so incredibly hard. (and not merely because of the words "introducing James Caan.")

In my restless dreams, I see that town

"Libera te tutemet ex inferis" just as Paul W.S. got it close-enough

so, I kept waiting for a "quiet" day to post about it, but considering *everything* I'm realizing that day isn't coming so I might as well just start talking Some friends and I, including @slothysunday.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social, are making a game. store.steampowered.com/app/4462890/...

these have teleported me back to a specific day in 2006

opening monologue in TOUCH ME should be a new staple of acting auditions

happy holidays from The Team

a friend recently shared this with me and i'm obsessed — it's an MTV/VH1 simulator with almost 30,000 videos (organized by decade) along with special sections for things like 120 Minutes, Unplugged, Yo! MTV Raps, and Pop-Up Video (!!!) wantmymtv.vercel.app

69 days out from FIFA World Cup, the KC2026 Fan Festival and other major city plans remain unsettlingly vague www.thepitchkc.com/69-days-out-...

That’s what we’re leading with today? Those are the bombs?

Oh yeah, I’m gay. GAY FOR REVENGE

sam altman is going to need to build such a big winchester house for all the ai psychosis family annihilation ghosts

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

it’s Disco time

writing a book is basically like making a post that almost kills you

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

When you’re an addict you get to relive the feeling of being executed every night before bed. Usually it doesn’t take and you fall through the trap door and come out the other side like holy shit I’m alive what the fuck. But sooner or later the device generally works as it is intended to.

i think i'm seeing google ai's version of screaming in pain ??

It's been offline for a couple of months due to hosting issues, but the Video Game Soda Machine Project archive is back online again. If you've ever wanted to browse through more than 3,000 screenshots of soda machines from video games dating back as far as 1983, this is the site for you.

The Banished Vault is on sale! It's a strategy game about the difficult and terror of space travel. It uses nearly-correct math to determine delta-v, resources strictly tracked in the world, and dice rolls to simulate anomalies. There's lots more but the included manual explains the rest!

guess it's my turn. just got fired from my job as editor at movieweb. if you're looking for a writer/editor with over 15 years of experience, hit me up.

Wayside Waifs in KC has a new little guy up for adoption today and the “reveal” listed on his paperwork has ruined me that’s not the reveal that’s not the reveal at alllllllll

Everyone saw in real time how stupid this was.

THE BEAUTY is perhaps the most flagrantly proud-of-himself Ryan Murphy show yet, so yes, if you're one of the several dozen other people to finish the ~11 episode season~ then let us GAB over the JAB

saving this. feel like it will have uses in future situations.

they say this every day on every issue, it just usually takes more words

I’m seated

Fund a new alt weekly paper in every city that doesn’t have one.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) So far this is like if someone made a good miniseries out of an extremely long and extremly weird paperback you found in your best friend’s older brother’s room. I love when teacher tech skills solve problems.

A song you hate is easy to build a barricade against. A song that already gets sung internally in traffic or aloud in the shower, already lodged permanently one layer deep at all times, that’s what would reduce me to Solomon Grundy if it got permalooped. Here’s mine: youtu.be/nWVpeXN5b5k?...

I wrote about Daniil Dankovsky, one of the guys of all time.

"well, in Dune Part 3, I play a woman who, much like that question, is often referred to as an abomination"

DID YOU KNOW? In a novel, a long section in italics is the author’s way of telling readers they can skip that part.
