It's my birthday today. No celebration. Instead, I'm getting on a plane at 7pm tonight to be with my mom for her breast cancer surgery tomorrow. My birthday wish is that you buy my book so that I can earn out, and hopefully keep writing. Thank you. bookshop.org/p/books/magi...

New blog: time on feet + clair obscur This week, I'm thinking about measuring my running not in miles, but in time, valuing dedication over distance. Also, I ruminate on Clair Obscur and howlongtobeat.

"Chilly Waters" Mario Party 3 (2001)

have been following this account since the old days and this is the best one I’ve ever seen. My God. “You’re about to extend your style to your hairstyle” is like a fortune teller roasting his client

AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one.

When you recount this election day:

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

this is the perfect illustration of why it’s so important to learn a field’s jargon

I’m taking a break from gaming. Here’s my attempt at explaining why.

People who eat Penn Station sushi at 9:30 am — what is happening in your life? What brought you to this point?

I asked ChatGPT to call the cutie store and no one knew you lol. But then I went to the cutie store myself and everyone knew you. What ChatGPT actually did was call the same Qdoba location 15 times and make outrageous threats against the employees that fell just short of actionability

why does he sit like this 😭😭😭

We had the clues all along

The same company that's buying CBS (and needs Trump's approval to do so) is also trying to buy Bari Weiss' website. It's a political decision.

I’m done wishing for Diddy Kong Racing to come to virtual console — time to bring them to Mario Kart World

There’s this weird incongruity where support of Palestine is something only online leftists care about and therefore it’s not worth the Democratic Party adopting into their campaigning but also support of Palestine was a big enough roadblock to lose the election and that’s online leftists’ faults

People are gonna get really weird about Bruce Springsteen after the Nebraska biopic aren’t they

I'm going to query agents with a graphic novel pitch, found-family fantasy, about an orphan with trauma who learns that he still deserves to be loved, a warrior woman who grows to love him, and a young girl witch learning her craft. And when they inevitably say yes to that, I'll send them BERSERK

Zohran Mamdani can lower housing costs by getting everyone who jets between New York and the South of France to leave the city for good

Zohran Mamdani's shocked American pundits by running on a platform that provided an alternative to Trump, the Democrats catering to him (hello, Newsom), and misogynist Andrew Cuomo. his economics-first campaign stridently protected trans rights as Dems largely refuse to. me on his win @teenvogue.com
