i love it when the clock strikes 10:30 every morning and the usual sites publish their 3 infuriating news stories that will drive all discourse today like zookeepers raising the enclosure's gate and letting the seals get into the day's bucket of chum

now if I google up who Atlantic Writer "Nathaniel Frum" is am I going to find what I think I'm gonna find

You gotta wonder what’s going to become of all these gigantic warehouse-like buildings once they’re slapped together but never actually get used as data centers. Unless there’s some other entity that’s been eager to build giant warehouses for some other purpose lately!

I've got this match on while doing emails and I might thread some thoughts on it here, so that you can mute if you don't care lol

Pretty consistent through line in history that any time an oppressed/marginalised group fights to secure their basic rights and humanity, a segment of the petit-bourgeois get driven fucking insane and turn into frothing-mouthed, asocial, revanchist lunatics—except this time in the UK, fortunately.

Tonight, hours before our election count begins, USC's admin formally ran to the Trump federal NLRB asking them to overturn democracy. This shit is wildly cynical and has huge implications for academic workers nationally and I am begging my journalist followers to get in touch

the discovery bonanza around shit like "CFO's Claude prompts" is gonna yield some new modern classics if it hasn't already. time to clean up those files

I try not to let stupid bullshit like this tilt me but I’ve gotta hand it to em on this one. “They got me”

He shaves all that hair off to beat the heat. Still green but it's weird now

The Grinch filling his summer months wearing Birkenstocks to the community center for a pottery class. Making an absolute dogshit mug he’ll put pens in

The U.S. government handed a 3-year-old to an abuser to torture him to death, and then his mother was allotted one hour for his funeral.

Check out my normal Substack about how I want candidates that FUCK

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

why is that guy purple

It's good that politicians fuck (?) Or maybe not. And good when people get mad about it (?) But also too woke if they do. Or don't. And we used to not care so much about it. Or do now. Or do not.

i'm gonna be blunt. I don't want to hear the phrase "smoothgroin politician" ever again under any circumstances

what are any of you talking about

my main thought on Pride month, as someone who should basically be neither seen nor heard from on it, is that I have seen many times firsthand the raw deal that trans people get in media and publishing, and it needs to be everyone's job to fix that. It's real, material, and unacceptable

Oh so now it's illegal to sue yourself for $2 billion and distribute that money to a bunch of pedophiles and family annihilators who tried to burn down the Capitol and install you as dictator? That's not allowed anymore? This used to be a free country.

it's june first and I just randomly thought about Taysom Hill, and now I'm sitting here mad like it's mid-October

Mcvay gave up 31 points to Sam Darnold in a playoff game and said “we’ll lose any way but that one”

hey this looks awesome

Asked my wife why we wouldn’t just till out the creeping bellflower she’s trying to get rid of, and you would think I suggested buying a boat

this is art

I agree that our ruling class owes us nothing and we owe them unconditional fealty ✨

Need a full alt uniform in this color scheme

Is Backrooms good. I love the short version and am glad the person got the opportunity but do i need to see the big long feature film

This was me

Inventing a new guy named Stan Wincil who looks good in a jean jacket and thinks poverty is real

I feel like baseball needs a basic “penalty flag” instead of going right to ejection lol. Sure that’s taunting. (I love taunting, who cares, but it’s taunting and refs don’t like that.) but EJECTION for it????

The Warrior Ethos

nyt waiting for january 31 to drop “it’s ok to be white”

Huh. A German-born arch-conservative elite with peculiar ideas about genetics is emigrating to Argentina. Huh!

And that’s just, huge swaths of culture now. Wonderful

every day slightly diminished. a little less upstairs every morning. harder to walk, harder to think. days start drifting together. shadows grow in corners of rooms

i was here three years ago when literally the only people using this site aside from rationalist freaks were OF girlies and trans people and honestly i dont think the admins have ever stopped being mad that they got a broadly left/liberal social media site when they set out to build roko's twitter

People are gonna learn sooner or later that Magic and sports explain each other

Batting Around and the Tarps Off Movement bring you #Pride2026! www.tiktok.com/@battingarou...

I think Jodar might beat Zverev

hope you brought urine!

The first ever trillionaire will become a trillionaire by using political power to bend the rules of financial markets to force everybody’s retirement accounts to invest in his company

on the @battingaround.bsky.social episode we recorded this morning and when Jane said a single tiktok of straight dudes with their shirts off set to Born This Way could kill the tarps off trend overnight it felt like watching oppenheimer outlining the manhattan project structure on the blackboard

Capitalism’s coolest feature is that nothing bad that happens under it or because of it is capitalism

If you write or publish anything that credulously grants the initial premise of “Tilly Norwood” I will make sure to actively block out all your future work or thinking. Very easy line to draw

My life would feel different if I owned two perfect complete amethyst scepters
