things don't feel settled, ground uncertain. i guess that's just the way it is from now on

ANNOUNCER 1: here's the pitch [GMOD CLATTER NOISES, GROANS FROM STANDS] ANNOUNCER 2: oh, bad luck. Negative acceleration on the ball, classic overflow, clipped through Smith's hitbox. He's ragdolling ANNOUNCER 1: NaN propagation looks like. truly hate to see it ANNOUNCER 2: it's been ruled a balk

"no, my child, this is not my desire" and then she said

today i found an old exhibit brochure for the Whitney in NYC, from my art school days. on the cover i had jotted down artists i liked and also the notation "a lot of women artists." there were no signs

batman is about to do battle with a talking gorilla* *a safe assumption for many dc comics, but in this case, true

If I waited for lessons and true confessions that could take all day But I'm here to stay

when the bus made of concrete comes rolling through, you'll want to take cover in this sturdy shelter

this guy definitely mutates into a final form midway through the boss battle

i enjoy how the UKLG bot responds to replies with another quote

We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

oh hey remember RealPlayer

hulk realize: all mcdonalds pretty much the same

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

sluggo: you said what now?

we have reached the Going Back to Bed portion of the day. repeat, the Going Back to Bed portion

"i could really go for a grim dystopia just about now" "righto"

What do I care about anything when I can lie on the bed and pull the past over me like a blanket?

this clock change thing is messing me up bigtime zzzzz

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

“Your struggle is ours too." - Zohran Mamdani, 4th November, 2025 I just want to take a moment and contrast this with the Biden “we have your back” that the trans community heard once every year or so. It rang hollower with each utterance.

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

I’d forgotten what it’s like to see election returns and not feel physically ill

Book banners ate shit all over the country last night ❤️🥰

I heard that they're packing Andrew Cuomo into a box and putting him in that warehouse at the end of indiana jones

By global standards, Mamdani is a pretty standard liberal. By American standards, he's the second coming of Lenin. But he's doing a great job of reminding people that a politician can be a civil servant who wants to make things better for everyone without having to knock anyone down in the process.

Americans have spoken and they demand wokeness

Democrats gonna see this win and be like, “Damn, we gotta run more Ugandans.”

everybody transgender

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

i still kind of hate rooting for a politician, but Mamdani's Silvia Rivera video ... what other politician in 2025 is even attempting this? who else is out there making people (even non-nyers like me) feel like NYC is a not only a city but a project worth pursuing?
