The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Thinking a lot about the Gorman arc in Andor lately for I assume no reason at all.

Huge win for the party of small government.

“IN PLACES WHERE IT’S ILLEGAL”

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Why not both

This is a weird list!

Just checking in on Boston’s tank season

With almost 30 lists entered, our year end list aggregate is starting to come together.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I put the odds around 45% that they go "Here are literally all the Epstein files," and it's just a cocktail napkin that says "DonaLd Trump is very innocent" in Pam Bondi's handwriting.

Having an accountabilibuddy when writing your novel is very fun and helpful! It can really keep you focused and on task. For example, when I don't hit my daily word goal, my accountabilibuddy Kairo here rips the wings off an angel! #writing #manuscript #pleasehelpme

Here are the twelve tracks to play over the closing credits in each episode of the imaginary series adaptation if my WIP. :'D

Neutral Plotter in every sense. #weeknightwriters

Why does Coco 2 piss me off

No Stars Over the Wup Wups In vast swamplands on the outskirts of an empire, a native girl must lead six strangers through deadly lands where time and space are fluid, while protecting cargo with powers nobody yet understands. Don't count the hours. Querying in 2026. #posterpit #w #f #a

The Eternally Indebted Dead

*after getting my head punched clean off my neck in the first round* ah but now it’s round two

A. Because crypto bros are—and I'm painting in broad strokes here—dork ass losers. B. So that they could bet on it. Took no time at all for bookies to have dido odds.

yeah man give the public what it wants, fifty godzillion blowjob jokes about monica lewinsky

Diddy really had his name dragged through the mud

Charlie what would your best friend Gavin Newsom have to say about this

Alright I'm in. I'm very aware that half of this list is from the three-year window where I fell in love with the movies. Honorable mentions to: The Irishman, Parasite, The Princess and the Frog, Spirited Away, Synecdoche New York, Take Shelter, The Tree of Life, WALL·E, The Witch, and Zodiac

It’s a pretty good barometer for our politics that Trump’s most high-profile collaborator, Elon Musk, accused Trump publicly of being a pedophile and called for his impeachment like 5 days ago and everyone appears to have simply shrugged and moved on.

I've been saying this!

This reminds me of the time Sarah Huckabee Sanders was politely asked to leave a restaurant.

We've hit 7K followers, so how about a book bundle giveaway to celebrate?! Open to US, CAN, UK & IE. Follow, like & repost to enter! Closes 9th June. Feat: @natania.bsky.social @aptshadow.bsky.social‬ @emmanewman.bsky.social‬ @premeemohamed.com‬ & more! Inc. an early ARC of THE DOOR ON THE SEA!

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Biden's mental decline is STILL all anyone can talk about

The most commonly-cited "moderate" positions here are 1) requiring all female athletes from kindergarten through college be subjected to sex testing and 2) replace the best medical judgment of your family pediatrician with Bill Maher's opening monologue

I shall now shrink slowly into a corn cob.

So the Magic must now win three in a row against a Celtics team whose longest losing streak for the entire season is two games.

It’s the stupid, economy.

We did it. We're finally living Dr. Strangelove. Just trying to recall how that movie ended...

Eat your peas, Norman Fucking Rockwell.

Republicans want you focused on trans people in sports because they have nothing to offer you. No plan for healthcare, no solutions for affordable housing, no answer to rising costs—just endless attacks on vulnerable groups. 1/

Denis Villaneuve's A Fish Called Wanda

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

I firmly believe that books are political and writing is resistance. If the craft content I make helps writers write, then in theory, it must be meaningful. But man do I sometimes feel silly for posting about dialogue tags when it feels like the whole world is on fire.

This is a great tool

It looks like Kendrick has won for now but sources tell me Drake has a devastating rebuttal planned for his performance at the Kids’ Choice Awards

K.C. can take some solace in knowing that Drake still took the bigger L on the day.

i'm not fluent in rap beefs did drake lose or

dang tough day for the the-nfl-is-rigging-the-league-for-kansas-city crowd

Did my own research on this and can't find any evidence proving Rogers wasn't franchise tagged actually. Don't be ruled by fear people. The truth is out there.
