This thread is the best refutation of social-media doomerism that I have seen.

This skeet serves as official notice that if the Catholic Church excommunicates JD Vance I will return to attend ONE (1) Mass at a parish within 5 miles of me, donate $10.00, and even say all the new “and with your spirit” stuff

Man I really underestimated how bad it’s gotta feel to get verbally abused through a bullhorn by someone with a Minnesota accent

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

love to describe the world that we live in as "if tom clancy had a day drinking older brother"

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

The funniest thing I do each day is put conditioner into what is canonically 1 inch of hair on the top of my head, according to my clippers

Shockwave: Assault for Sega Saturn

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

a few people have reached out recently looking for silly/fun TV recommendations to help them chill out a little i'll tell all of you what i told them: there is never a bad time to watch (or rewatch) Detroiters

Let me play some Alan Wake 2 before it gets too dark; this shit is scary

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

I know a lot of you like my fanfic so maybe you'd enjoy my original stuff. I have a sapphic story coming out in this anthology, set in the Hocking Hills of Ohio and Ohio does love its cryptids www.amazon.com/Myths-Reborn...

New Year’s resolution: take more trips! My itinerary 👇

I'm very excited that "It's Halloween: Do You Know Where Your Children Are?" is part of this collection! Includes 19 dark stories of folklore and cryptids. You can preorder it now!

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

Home early with the kids, so I am watching Don Lemon’s NYE show on YouTube as he wanders live taking shots around the Frenchmen Art Bazaar in New Orleans

And the link for the first anthology I got accepted into is up. One more coming in early January. May 2026 be a good year for writing. If you're interested in a little tale about the India–Pakistan Actual Ground Position Line and the cryptids that might inhabit it, pick up a copy!

Emergen-C + Hydration Multiplier = NYE Mega Drink

“Myths Reborn,” an anthology collection of 19 cryptid horror stories, is available for digital preorder now! I have a story called “The Last Sasquatch” that’ll be published in it alongside some very cool stories by others. Paperback and hardcover options will be happening too. a.co/d/bUP0NdF

Good news / bad news: won the trivia round last night that includes tequila shots

Prolonged social media use poses real risks, especially for young people: Anxiety. Depression. Poor mental health. New York is requiring warning labels on addictive social media feeds to help kids understand that risk. This is a public health issue. We're treating it like one.

I rewatched The Matrix tonight and had such a good time with it. Its pacing is fantastic: the opening with Trinity rips and the film really doesn’t let up from there. They manage to pack a ton of worldbuilding and ideas in with the amazing action sequences.

The Long Kiss Goodnight is not on any streaming service or even at my library so now there is not a single movie on planet Earth I want to watch more

THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE POP-TARTS CHOSE TO LIVE MAKES THE WHOLE THING WORSE SOMEHOW

I feel like the TV broadcast is ruining the Pop Tart ritual ceremony. They’re showing behind the toaster and killing kayfabe, weird angles of random stuff. GET IT TOGETHER on today of all days!

New slapstick subgenre just dropped

once I finish my esoteric diagram it’s over for you bitches

Any day I’m evaluating how different typefaces handle ampersands is a good day

no idea if this will be a good movie or not, I’m just ecstatic to see a poster like this for an upcoming movie — peak of the artform, IMO

Just “absentmindedly typed a website address into the search bar of Gmail on my phone” years old

HARD BOILED DETECTIVE: another cruel sunrise over the city of the damned. another corpse. another widow. another cup of black coffee to drag my sorry ass back to life- *sputtering* ME: do you like it? it's an ethiopian washed process single origin DETECTIVE: ME: are you getting apricot notes

I mean, if you like that show and those stunningly gorgeous people ... #TheExpanse #FrankieAdams #WesChatham #StevenStrait #DominiqueTipper www.instagram.com/reels/DSKnqc...

My politics are becoming increasingly "we live in a society"

After many years I finally have the bandwidth to relax and play some video games. Unfortunately I’ve chosen Alan Wake 2, in which the atmosphere and jump scares may literally give me a heart attack. (It’s major Twin Peaks vibes, so I’m enjoying it)

Any time I see a sparkle icon button on a website or software I use, I know it’s some bullshit new AI feature they’re trying to work in

is there a *mr* information?

holy cow someone made the red ball market global website from the chair company also the phone number works redballmarketglobal.us/#contact

Talking about skillfully creating things with AI is so unserious because you’re either a) bragging about how many prompts you tried, which congratulations on killing the environment for your Coke ad; or b) posting whatever first prompt you did, which congratulations on doing nothing. Lose-lose!

me Logging On at 8 AM on a Monday and having Seen Enough

It’s time to start the 2028 primary and step over this donor-coddling "Strong Floor, No Ceiling" nonsense. For @gilduran.com and @george-lakoff.com's @theframelab.bsky.social, I wrote about why DC Dems won't appeal beyond the donor base. There's another way to put an expiration point on Trumpism.

Still going as of now. I love how it seems like it’s genuinely building to something profound and then nope just repeats

Amazing commitment to the bit. Unfortunately “the bit” is making things dumber and worse

All 12 issues of The Expanse: Dragon Tooth collected in a single deluxe hardcover! On sale March 2026...

When I see the Rich get owned by the Poor.

On a road trip, which means it’s time to revive my feud with the World Dryer brand of hand dryers I encounter in restrooms along this country’s interstate system

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

maybe i am going insane

I really enjoyed this documentary! I’ve been interested in Caro’s dedication since reading an article in Esquire about his LBJ series. The partnership between editing and writing is well explored in this. Living in NY state now, I have more curiosity about the Power Broker.
