I just saw a documentary about this, highly recommend, it's called Backrooms.

Happy Father's Day to my husband! We don't have kids, but he has started sneezing really loudly in the past couple years.

The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman (Niko Stratis, 2025)

Now seated for Backrooms.

I just think if your organization is called "Blood Center," this is not the most reassuring location to call from.

Huge slam on Far Side collections.

Hooray for Diamond's little brother!

I love being part Brazilian and having someone to root for in the World Cup that isn't os Estragos Fudidos.

Almost all of the Black touchstones uplifted in the US were avowed socialists and Communists and I always find this so funny. So many people including some Black people elide this fact.

If you've seen the Juneteenth flag, but don't know its history or what it means, you can read about it in the words of Ben Haith, the man who designed it. Happy Emancipation Day! ✊🏽 #Juneteenth capitalbnews.org/juneteenth-f...

Saw some folks in soccer jerseys and kilts around Midtown today. Seems the Scottish invasion is spreading from Boston.

What should I do with one free day in Nashville?

According to the New Yorker profile of him, he wears this hat all the time, there is essentially a second hat inside it providing structure, and it is extremely heavy.

My favorite exchange from a Chotiner interview thus far. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

I forgot to tell you all I went to the Cloisters and saw a unicorn, a Peruvian peanut man, a Mexican bat god, and some medieval playing cards.

Anybody who claims they can’t make a book cover without AI is afraid to try, or lying. This is the original cover for The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, published by Sybaritic Press. The chair is a piece of doll furniture I found at a yard sale. The floor is Jenga pieces. Baseboards are chopsticks.

As we all know, true manhood is defined by entering a sort of fantasy realm based on The Hangover. Few survive this metaphysical journey.

Twitter circa 2012 when it was mostly just weirdos making jokes.

Just received an email with the subject line "Dear Friends & Family join me for a joyful gathering on the 26th of July. Please Open RSVP by using a Windows desktop for the link to work properly and make Sure to Install The Invitation after Download." A+ phishing attempt, no notes.

Saw a video of Dutch soccer fans in Dallas for the World Cup and thought, "Hey, they kinda look like a Knicks crowd with all the orange!" ...Then remembered what a "Knick" is.

To be fair, if there were a place named "Saint Rectum," the people who lived there would vote for Spencer Pratt.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Watching everything be better without you from Albania:

Imagine Jalen Brunson in therapy.

(At the Met Cloisters, looking at a carving of Christ on the cross) Little girl: Did they staple him to it? Mom: Kind of, yeah.

They put Knicks colors on the weather app.

I'm telling my husband AND my sister.

I need a show where Brits compete to best each other at trivia while performing wacky activities. I need Taskmastermind.

It referred to burritos as "South American"

One of the best podcasts I've ever heard!

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

The Lauren O'Neal in Kentucky has ordered McDonald's every day for the past five days. Hope she makes it through this rough patch okay.

According to this article, the single most abundant vertebrate on Earth is the bristlemouth, "a crayon-size fish with a miniature monster’s maw for a face" that exists in the quadrillions in the deep sea. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ju...

hey its actually a gigantic problem that 1 of the 2 major political parties in this country are consistently claiming any election they dont win has been “stolen” or “rigged”

Some efforts are as far upstream as the 14th Amendment!

I hate that every cute animal video is now suspect!

I remember him from Live’s “Lightning Crashes”

Sorry, but it's very funny to think that Spencer Pratt, of all people, was a foregone conclusion for mayor of the second biggest city in the US. Yes, there's no way this political titan and founder of "Pratt Daddy Crystals" could be defeated except by fraud.

I went to the Empire State Building.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!

Did an alternative rock Peloton ride this morning, and they played "There, There" by Radiohead. I used to cry to this alone in my bedroom, I can't have a fitness instructor shout motivational phrases at me over this song!

a Very Special Episode of "to keep functioning, a society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities"

The DARVO style of management.
