This looks very fun. youtu.be/kQDd1AhGIHk?...

the obvious thing about "the post office should be run like a business" is that, no. that doesn't make any sense. the less obvious thing about it is that every post office has a very deep hole dug underneath it where they keep the postling. the postling has no interest in money. so, like. why bother

It’s good that they list the extension because with gargoyles there’s no time to wait for an operator

🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY: Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

Jamie Gertz stole the show as Muffy Tepperman, the villainous high school preppy who bullies our geeky heroes in the 80s teen TV comedy Square Pegs. Nothing to sneeze at, considering that Sarah Jessica Parker was one of the leads.

According to too many, there is white and then there is political there is male and then there is political there is capitalism and then there is political there is straight and then there is political there is cis and then there is political there is non-disabled and then there is political

This is so genuinely old-fashioned (I'm in my 40s, and this is a sound I associate with my parents) that I had to Google the guy to see if he was just lip-syncing in a TikTok or something. But no, he's the real deal.

What’s your sign?

It’s coming

hey there. jana here. I've decided to make my new story Clara (Or, The Drowned God) free (or pwyw) for a few days, because I think it's good and more people should read it

Today is my friend Monique’s birthday. She would have been 57. We met in high school at 15–I was working in the school cafeteria and I think she asked me for a straw? Later when I showed up for a meeting of the Science Fiction Club I was delighted to find that she was a member. I miss her every day.

And now I'm just spelunking around and here's this Facebook post by Kaleb Horton from September 2017. It was three months after MTV dumped its freelancers. I'm sure it would have been a piece there; instead he posted this on FB just to have it written out: Toys 'R' Us as societal microcosm.

Diner (1982). Look at these baby-faced boys.

I know we’re supposed to be Past That, Marge, but it really is astonishing that Trump—through a weird combination of total shamelessness on his part and sneaking regard on theirs—has largely gotten to the media to treat him in a way that applies to literally no-one else in American public life.

The Superman: The Animated Series episode "Monkey Fun" debuted on this day (Sept. 27) in 1997. This fun little tale, directed by Curt Geda and written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, sees Superman encountering Titano, a monkey lost in outer space years ago! #SupermanTAS #Superman

It is a good weekend to playtest GILA. Check it out if you want my take on OSR type games. Plus there's a hexmap now! gilarpgs.itch.io/gila-playtest

I visited Portland last week for a film festival. To get to and from the event I rode public transit and walked—every morning and late at night, alone. It was fine! My visit was great! Here I am waiting for a friend to meet me for breakfast at the Tin Shed Cafe.

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.

I’m in.

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors

A reminder that "wait why should I give a shit" works not just for this, but a lot of things in life like the Kardashians
