It’s been over 20 years but I still find myself hearing some songs and thinking, “This would have been a great fit for Daria.” For example: music.apple.com/us/album/eve...

Drinking my first glass of Metamucil. Cheers, adulthood!

Reading one great book from a writer is great, but reading a second one that you also love is so satisfying. It’s not just a one-time fling, we’re in a relationship now.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

The lasting legacy of Shakespeare in Love is me, every week, waking up with a gasp and then soothing myself with, “‘Tis Sunday.”

🔥I believe the world is burning to the ground Oh well I guess we're gonna find out🔥

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're into queer love and also women having an active sexuality even once they become mothers, even after they (*gasp*) go through menopause, my first novel, ALL MY MOTHER'S LOVERS, has all of that and more! bookshop.org/a/20948/9781...

If you’re not screaming with every exhale, are you even awake?

At least someone is

No Kings includes Draft Kings

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

you can’t wait for a nonprofit to save you when you see ICE kidnapping your neighbor or harassing parents at your kids school

I haven’t even used up all of the water I collected two weekends ago by dripping my taps to prevent frozen pipes, but today’s forecasted high is 81°

There's so much unnecessary bullshit we all gotta deal with just because it's making somebody somewhere richer.

Exactly what terrible fate are we collectively trying to avoid by always skating to Ravel’s Bolero? We’re already in a hell timeline, let’s break whatever pact that comes from and just see what happens

I cannot be healed by ice dance, but I can disassociate a little bit, and that’s fucking good enough right now

The cycle from Amazon killing bookstores to Bezos axing the books section of the Post is something

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

What is a donut hole but an amuse bouche for breakfast?

I honestly think “love” might be among the top words I use on a day-to-day basis, just from saying it to my cat

In millennial terms: maybe Magneto was right

Heads-up, Austin. ICE operating out of Buda (=south Austin suburb) this weekend.

-human tries to use art to perfectly communicate something they see or feel -they fail -in failing, their fingerprints get all over the art -other humans see the fingerprints and find them beautiful, learn something unexpected about the human that created the art which is beautiful

“An excellent choice, madam,” I say as my cat decides where on the bed she wants to sit, adjusting my own legs accordingly

Was worried for a second that my pet insurance was about to give me a 2025 wrapped

Starting the new year right: watching Taskmaster Champion of Champions

I’m so curious about the dynamic between Catherine’s cat and Precious (who she maybe seems to adopt) after the events of Silence of the Lambs

Josh O’Connor has leant his sizable charisma to so many undeserving institutions: the royal family (Charles in particular), the Catholic Church…tennis. And I say that as a fan of the sport.

This is a real life “Single and Fabulous?” moment

Shin Ramyun knows what their commercial needs to sell specifically to me: a Spice Girls song

How has Blumhouse not yet made a low-to-mid-budget movie about SantaCon? The horrors are right there!

AI will never be a writer because it kills everything but it’s darlings

Me to the caller ID about 90% of the time:

AI is being foisted upon us endlessly like the nonconsensual sprays of perfume you used to get walking through a department store. Both give me a headache.

Okay, but what effect will the Netflix/Warner Bros deal have on us lowly Americans finally seeing some new Pottery Throwdown?

My library book has a perfumed smell from the previous reader, and I’m getting weirdly sentimental about the sensory connection to someone in my community that the library has created. I blame hormones.

This is a superficial observation unworthy of the stakes of all of this, but I finally realized who Kavanaugh’s face reminds me of: Glenn from Superstore

Finishing a book is all fun and games until you have to decide what to read next

I have introduced my mother to the concept of “girl dinner.” She’s on board.

Building back trust with my nostrils after a week of coughing, congestion, and sniffles

Ah, yes, Black Friday. The morning when I’m reminded of everyone who has ever heard a rumor of my email address. Unsubscribe powers, activate!

Happy Thanksgiving

They should have done Agatha Christie’s entire catalog in Wishbone adaptations

Saw a billboard on the highway that said, “You can hold it,” for a Buc-ee’s that was 92 miles away. That beaver has unrealistic expectations for the human bladder.

I swear to God, we still can’t get Daria (and several other 90s and 00s shows) on streaming or DVD with the original music because the licenses didn’t anticipate those formats and they’d have to pay for each song again, but we’re getting this shit?

I firmly believe in the therapeutic power of screaming along to Sarah McLachlan’s “Stupid,” and I think more people should try it

I’m so baffled by the idea that the James Bond franchise is hindered by a continuity dilemma, as if there’s a seamless flow of backstory from Dr No to No Time to Die. You’re telling me that Jeffrey Wright’s Felix Leiter is an amputee from being fed to sharks after his wedding in License to Kill?

“If you gotta kill all my friends to survive, maybe it’s time for a change.”

Just saw a Google Gemini ad about a turkey booking a quick flight out of town for Thanksgiving. Because if anything is running smoothly right now it’s AI and air travel.
