waiting 86 years to place the worst taco bell order of all time

There’s an ad for a tree catalog company they’re playing during basketball podcasts and to masculinize it they have the ad-reader doubt the whole concept “shipping live trees?!” and at the end he announces the discount code is “SPORTS!”. I would like to be a traitor to my gender.

The most PG13 movie of all time is the forgotten 1994 Disney live action Jungle Book. A man is swallowed, cursing, by quicksand. Another man is trapped in a temple room that’s rapidly filling with sand. It’s a sand revenge movie.

Of all the NYRB ads over the years this might be the funniest, this ad for ads. Imagine trying to sell your Midwest exurban 2,700 sq ft ranch in the NYRB.

Big new crop of slime molds in the playground mulch this morning.

Caitlin Clark and Victor Wembenyama play basketball today and maybe for the last time in a while. 😔

Apocalypse Now is a gritty time-shifted adaptation of The Hobbit.

super hot women who are dying in your area

Devin Vassell looks like how Nintendo and Sega depicted black people in the 90s

I got completely got by a young child who non sequitur and timidly was like “Daddy, death isn’t all bad…” so I gently started responded in affirmative like “oh for sure darling everyone, animals, humans—“ and she cut me off with “Because when I’m dead I won’t have to hear any sports radio.”

Man.

Unreal lineup. The N64 probably jumpstarted my puberty because literally nothing else worthwhile was going on

Victor Wembanyama reminds me of a Japanese Spider Crab

Caitlin Clark and Victor Wembenyama both play basketball today. Life is short.

Dave Loach™️ line at Ethan Allen stores nationwide.

What a stud

Just had a conversation with a Japanese guy and we shared maybe 50 words in common and most of them were like “Rosalina” and “Birdo”. #NintendoisEsperanto

Jessica Winter is among the stupidest writers in the whole NYer confinement and this piece is such an exclamation point on that stupidity. In it, she examines the possibility that a Vanderbilt heiress might have a slightly different vocabulary for her finances than, say, a New Yorker writer.

Ominous

I really really like the photo choice for this story on the new conservative “school” inside u of Florida

Eating hundreds of birds

Looking out the dining room window at dusk

Oh my god. 🥹😭 it does not fail. If we were in 2013 I could start a Tumblr called like “Judi Dench News” and get a 500k book deal in a month.

Somebody help me fill in the blanks. Why is Steve sarkisian apologizing for the class selection. I would love to believe that he was reprimanded for churlishly mocking fabric arts but…

…

I cannot play a video game with this shit. WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING GAMES WITH STORIES AND CHARACTERS AND VOICE ACTING IT SUUUCCCCKKKKS

Now I may not be an LLM, but I am able to recreate from scratch the entire “novel” that a person who still presents herself this way in 2026 apparently just published.

I like when Biz Markie says “she had a very big bra”.

Hey hey cmon eugh just tryin… cmon just tryin to stretch out a bit eugh eugh ouf ahh there we go

Spurs winning tonight would make me happier than any single game since 2016.

We must not forget about this or stop talking about it until they make a The West Wing style show about it

I think literally everyone in this video ODed.

I don’t read or care about legal scholarship so I don’t know if this is rhetorically common but this guy starts out by observing his own moral judgment about birthright but… in a scientific way such that he is “surprised” to find he is against it and it’s a… data point? Life on easy mode!

And this in particular makes me very happy to see

Portrait of father w blueberry shooters, flowers, books, and night sky (which stands in for “art”), plus purple all over for my favorite color.

Boring History for Sleep

Incredible shirt

Who you got

That classic Verso quality.

There’s a popular country song from last year that is structured like The Highwaymen but each new character is the son of the former. I think this is enlightening. Country men think of themselves as like multiply present. Son, father, grandfather. Hydras. Very unpleasant.

The piece on Tracy Emin by Clair Wills in latest NYRB is one of the best things I’ve read in years. David Foster Wallace without the bullshit.

A guy who weighed maybe 95 lbs got out of his Prius in traffic as though to menace me after I called him a fucking moron for blatantly running a stop sign. He looked like Chet Holmgren. I was shocked and started laughing. The light turned green and he got back in and drove away.
