there’s a big push on christian x to claim Project Hail Mary as anti-woke trad propaganda (“hail mary” right there in the title!) but there’s at least two big problems with that narrative which are that the movie is about a guy who (1) takes scientific consensus seriously and (2) has a friend.

interesting! 3000 years after who

Stories about life inside ICE's family detention center in Dilley, Texas, are hard to come by. But @julialurie.bsky.social reviewed hundreds of pages of sworn oral declarations given by detained children and their parents about conditions at the facility. This is Dilley, in their own words:

gonna put my prediction here now: they found out the tech was being used for something unspeakable.

There is some advanced evangelical rhetorical jiu-jitsu happening in this conversation and i would not recommend commenting on it unless you've been steeped in the culture.

by the law of air travel math, this means dads will now be arriving at the airport two days before take off.

a memory i deeply cherish is me and my best friend lying on the floor of my college dorm, clutching our stomachs, laughing so hard we thought we were gonna puke at this image.

There's an old saying in Morrison—I know it's in Baldwin, probably in Morrison—that everything that can be faced can be, rather, it can't always be changed. But then it can be changed or ...or, that is to say, nothing can be changed until you ...uh, until you ...you have to deal with it.

Still always this: “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

Hey - great post

TOWN BULLY (NOTICING REACHER): Who’s this, your boyfriend? REACHER (BLOTTING OUT SUN): No,

The British Torture Lords from the end of Braveheart couldn't get that first sentence out of me.

here’s the arcane knowledge that many know in their hearts even if they can’t quite say it aloud: grammar is more like art than math

“give us this day our daily bread” jesus ate with that one

signal 30. primo stuff. just an hour of pete getting atomically humiliated, taken apart by ninjas, reduced to ashes. “we’re supposed to be friends” hits like heroin.

had no idea the Reacher guy lived in brentwood. right up the way from me. seems like i’d see the trees shake on the horizon when he walks around. jurassic park ripples in water glasses. that kind of thing.

Hello, I'm the neighbor who tried to pick a fight with the guy who plays Reacher. I acted of my own accord. My name is Timothee Chalamet and I thought he was a ballerina.

Here's another photo of the year candidate from Getty contributor Megan Varner:

Found myself in convo with some slightly older acquaintances who'd been seeing an unusual amount of wildlife around our Cool Millennial East Nashville neighborhood, and joking that animals would start smoking American Spirits and drinking PBR. I muttered "MJ Len-Deer-man" and they all stared at me.

NON-U.S. BLUESKY USERS, I know things are moving fast, so here's a simple update: We have won the war with Iran, which was not a war, and has been put on a five-day pause while we adjust out metrics for winning, because we will not rest until we defeat Iran. Also we are at war with our airports.

the market will remain irrational longer than you can remain sane

The annoying gruntwork you’re off-loading to AI is how you learn basic information and skills that help power the logical leaps that lead to creation and innovation. This is why CEOs are all f**king idiots.

a personal life update for anyone interested in huckalore here is that after 13 years in nashville, liz and i are gonna make it official with the city that doesn’t sleep, the concrete jungle, the capitol of the world. that’s right, we’re moving to a little place called New York City.

not toxic masculinity, not performative masculinity, but a secret third thing

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

are you an Interstellar dad, an Arrival mom, a The Martian son or a Project Hail Mary daughter

This is definitely a hot take and the sort of thing they love to speciously misinterpret in conversations about "toxic masculinity" but we'd be a lot better off if we could deal frankly with the fact that most men are taught that being actively stupid is an integral part of gender performance

folks will be like “yeah, i don’t love that he celebrates the death of people, but think about all the good stuff he’s done” ok. done.

Everyone mentions Cowbell but to me this is the great Christopher Walken SNL sketch

might not be a more universally held belief in the entire country than “concerts should be cheaper” and we were on the verge of solving the problem.

They should give the Mark Twain Prize to Conner O'Malley

But they were all deceived for a 5th loco was made

man I think about this all the damn time. It’s why all these weird Bluesky people are like “what is this EPISCOPALIAN doing saying LEFTIST things, they must be LYING”

the intense Buffy nostalgia is not really nostalgia, I think, just longing for the best show to ever explain that you have to keep on fighting the Big Bads even when you don’t want to do it anymore

These women sitting near me are talking about the Book of Enoch, which one of their mothers read. One said, "I guess there are a bunch of books they decided not to include in the Bible?" and the other said, "Who's 'they'? Who made that decision?" and I HAD TO RESTRAIN MYSELF from answering.

i'm gonna be a total sucker for project hail mary. gonna drive home making spaceship noises. sometimes you can just tell.

Good night, sweet prince

you ever think about how they made a wonderful little Fletch movie where Jon Hamm got to be a silly goose and then it got buried into streaming hell and mostly forgotten?
