I've learned that it's important to follow the subreddit for your city because it helps you calculate the odds of encountering a rambling schizophrenic whenever you go outside

HBO should immediately announce a rival Carcassonne franchise

This shirt will actually look really good on me

Popping into my local Best Buy real quick to grab a blasphemous statue

Waking up for today's Blue Jays game

Feels humiliating to shop for gaming computers as a 30-something. I don't want to buy a machine from "the Republic of Gamers" or own a keyboard that can display 100 different colours. I want a nondescript box that won't catch fire if I try to boot up Europa Universalis V.

This is why I always wear my Jays socks

Wrote about The Quiet Earth for your Sunday reading. Or some of your Sunday reading, anyway. It's not very long. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

*Sisqo voice* Let me see that Tron

Read the headline "Rare 'septopus' believed to have been found on shore of B.C.'s Pender Island" and immediately experienced a Pavlovian trigger that put this in my head: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHDp...

Has anyone powerful seen Good Bye Lenin, because I feel like if you’d done something like that to Trump after he lost in 2020 he would have happily lived out his days designing his little projects without asking too many questions

A lot of people are making fun of this so I think it's worth putting in the proper context: two paragraphs later he claims to have felt the presence of God while off-roading.

*trying to follow up a somewhat successful post* More like Paul Thomas, uh, Handerson. Because he deserves a hand for his latest cinematic experience. Isn’t that right, folks

Animated Banshees of Inisherin remake starring Frog and Toad

It's not healthy for foreigners to monitor every detail of American politics, but there is a certain dark comedy in getting voted in by people who buy groceries with Klarna and plan to retire on their crypto speculation and then being like, "Eh, those industries don't need oversight, it's fine."

They invented The Players' Tribune for annoying weirdos

My wife rushing across the apartment to preorder Kevin Federline’s memoir: m.youtube.com/watch?v=rQlf...

Far and away my favourite writer who looks like he could also be the villainous principal in an '80s comedy

Get ready for Tron 4 starring Mr. Beast

Feels like we're on the precipice of the most awkward data breach imaginable.

I do kind of appreciate that he perpetually talks like he's been offered yet another Faustian bargain and is always just like "Yeah, sure, whatever, sounds great."

Just remembered that we already went through "the world's first AI actress!" thing a quarter-century ago with that Final Fantasy movie. Don't think Aki has been in much lately.

It's actually good that the Jays are getting creamed. I don't need to drop 50 bucks on an "ALCS Champions" shirt that I'll wear twice before I forget about it or get tired of questions about what an ALCS is

Unfortunately all of my opinions are good. Sorry.

Computer full of bees.

Trying to think of the funniest band for the next Tron movie to emphasise in its marketing and landed on “with music by the Black Eyed Peas.”

I'm going to go ahead and say yes

Watching the Tigers and Mariners play into the 15th inning

Watching the Tigers and Mariners play into the 12th inning

My new horror story is about trauma. The trauma of being chased by a really scary guy.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again (& I’ll likely say it at least 1 more after this); no one does local #journalism like @klaszus.bsky.social and the team at @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social Please support them as they’re doing such critical work & doing it excellently at that ⭐️ #Calgary #YYC #YYCcc

Looks like Videodrome is upping its monthly fee again. Not sure if I want to spring for ad-free or not.

Scientist must be a great career for a pervert

Watching the Blue Jays advance to the ALCS

It’s too bad that participating in this requires complete moral bankruptcy because it seems like it could be pretty fun. “As we all know, 300 Spartans famously defended Thermopylae against a horde of the earliest antifa.”

God, no.

Danielle Smith announces plans to hold her breath until she gets what she wants

Not a new observation, but this all feels like the endpoint of years of commentary that amounted to "Oh, you have principles? How suspicious, what's your angle?"

Two of the Nuremberg trial defendants, Albert Speer and Karl Doenitz, were released and lived long enough to have been able to walk into a bar and play Space Invaders or Pac-Man.

I've never been tempted to give spammers my money until today, when my inbox received "Empty Your Bladder TWICE AS FAST with THIS Powerful Japanese Move"

Hey ya’ll. Pleased to say Inverse now has a Bluesky account, and I will (largely) be running it. So if you’d give @inverse.com a follow on here, I’d tremendously appreciate it.

I feel like I'm witnessing a modern Lovecraftian horror where everyone who witnesses an object goes mad and scribbles their wild thoughts down with no regard for how they'll be perceived, and that object is Taylor Swift's new album

Find the Amulet.

Every week someone is mad at this site for a different reason and I never know what it is, did I miss a newsletter or something

I was just trying to reference a psalm, and now Martin Luther is going to punch his way out of his grave Kill Bill-style and hash out a bonus thesis

Watching the Blue Jays in the postseason

Saw an NYT article today about "How Video Games Are Shaping a Generation of Boys, for Better and Worse" and while I have zero evidence to support this I think it was probably better for men/society when video games came with gigantic manuals that you had to sit your ass down and read first

Hi, I wrote about how 10 years after The Martian, it feels like we're no closer to Mars: www.inverse.com/entertainmen.... Okay, bye.

To promote my book about the apocalypse we will be locating the antichrist and letting him detonate one (1) nuclear weapon
