Get writin', y'all! And make sure to check the "things I want" and "things I don't want" section of the submission call. I don't want any of y'all writing a cannibalism story and sending it to me, lol.

In my latest for Playboy, I wrote about meat, masculinity, and "boy kibble," the trend of men eating a pack of unseasoned ground beef for dinner. I argue it's the perfect meal to illustrate the isolation and nihilism in our ultra-capitalist system www.playboy.com/read/lifesty...

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

one of the things that got me into cultural criticism in the first place was the metastatic growth of harry potter & disney fanfic reskinned and sent down the booktok "new adult" pipeline for the presumed enjoyment of people i'd never cross paths with. this piece is everything i wanted then and now

It's really wild that we are currently in a place where criticizing art and pop culture is seen as... bad? As if cultural criticism hasn't been a companion to art and pop culture for literally as long as art has existed.

We have lots of anecdotal evidence about what AI does to the internet. Now we're seeing a new wave of research, including a new paper from Stanford and the Internet Archive that puts the number of AI websites at around 35%—and draws some surprising conclusions: www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...

US soldiers have a rich history of questioning the wars they’re told to wage abroad.

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

friends! enemies! if you're in Baltimore this Thursday night, come check out Proxima Arcanum's reading at The Current Space! it's a terrific venue w/ cool folks & great vibes (fun fact: I'm one of the readers!)

bluesky is like a psych ward for ex-democrats

It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.

just found out this is watercolor and spent like a good five minutes pissed off

zuck six months from now

a throne account but it only has stuff from the gas station impulse buy section like a lighter with a scorpion floating in it and $4.99 sunglasses

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

The people who run these companies and use the technology to make line go up as part of an economy that’s become 98% grift by volume, no matter how many lives are degraded and destroyed: Those people are who and what we need to hate in this dynamic, and we really need to never lose sight of that

I saw someone say (re another tragedy) that however much you hate this technology, it’s not enough I actually don’t think that’s correct, though. I think it makes sense to hate it like a pollutant or a gun: it’s bad, but it has no conscious intent It shouldn’t absorb the hatred due its masters

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

It’s cool to once again have joy and enthusiasm for space exploration that is completely divorced from Elon Musk.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Two data points from a recent drive thru rural Virginia. 1. Many lawn signs saying "No new data centers," "Vote no on data centers," etc. 2. The classic rock channel promoted itself as "Every song chosen by a real human - no AI."

Our own history is a reminder too: Jim Crow is within living memory. Slavery seemed hopelessly entrenched in our politics and economy. Things can change if people work and fight for that change.

This is a reminder to Americans that others have endured far worse and still kept fighting bsky.app/profile/adam...

To the doomers who keep saying Trump will rig the 2026 and 2028 elections: Do not concede in advance

There is no inevitability.

if anybody has any leads on jobs hiring in the twin cities, consider hooking me up??? preferably something related to editing/publishing/writing but tbh these are desperate times so I'll consider whatever. gotta get out of texas within the next couple months and things are not looking great. thanks!

took my boyfriend and my cousin to @eveninghouse.bsky.social this weekend and am currently halfway through Feast of the Pale Leviathan, which is like the excellent, misleadingly-named movie Butt Boy if it had even a crumb of hope anywhere in its sphincter

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

also, it hasn’t sunk in with the public yet that even in this wretched country, the public charging network is largely good enough to get by
