surprising as it may seem, my 9-19 Phillies (who just fired their manager in April) is somehow not the most embarrassing baseball team to be following right now

need to make a movie about trepanation STAT

"am I gonna feel any better?"

i have to say, i wasn't expecting Court to be so disorganized

going sicko mode (i wrote a 1500 word paper in 2 hours)

m's and phillies have signed a joint contract to ruin my life

Night crawlers

ten years from now the league batting champ is gonna be a guy named Bandon Bryson who hits .204

Oh duh it was on my letterboxd watchlist lol. It's "…No Lies" by Mitchell Block from 1973. Thanks for tuning in

there's a short film about a woman that is set up like a documentary but it's not actually one. iirc it was written and directed by a man? It's not Lady (1993). it is something else. i haven't seen it cause it's hard to find online. but i can't remember the name. any ideas?

If you ever give me commenting/suggesting access to a Google doc, just know that when i read things, i'm constantly clicking around the page, and i WILL accidentally be giving a "suggestion" to "add footer"

have just realized instead of previewing the text of a web page, google search results now just give an "AI summary" of the page. awesome. worse than useless

this animation was done by Marcell Jankovics, who also directed the incredibly beautiful film Son of the White Mare

"The MLB season kicks off with an 8 pm Yankees-Giants matchup streaming on Netflix!" I hope the MLBPA demands to string Manfred up like a pinata to end the lockout next year.

When the metaverse came into being, we were told it was the inevitable future, and we must adapt or be left behind. As we bury this nonsense, let us remember that we decide what the future is, not the tech bros who stand to benefit from our acquiescence. No slop.

Hey everyone it's me, the wrong L piece in Tetris. Fuck you

"we're bringing back Firefly," they threatened

hi, i'm Rich Lather. you may know me from shampoo

The most intriguing storyline in pro wrestling this month is not a title chase or a bloody feud, but whether or not fans are going to keep chanting "Fuck ICE" at shows.

i've never been the biggest fan of America and, i get it, the banality of evil and all that. but it is genuinely breaking my brain that we have kids in concentration camps and everyone knows about it. They can't even be bothered to pretend it isn't happening.

I really think the whole notion of “bearing witness” has gotten deeply twisted “Witness” does not mean merely to observe firsthand. It means to carry truth and to testify to that truth in the pursuit of justice You don’t need to traumatize yourself in order to know that atrocities are happening

oops i have accidentally created a situation where i need to update my operating system in order to do my homework and did not realize this until it was already way too late to be starting my homework! real throwback to my first time doing college

one of my proudest achievements is entering the canon of perhaps millions of media studies publications that cite the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

probably took a good year or two off my lifespan due to the stress of being absolutely convinced i forgot to turn the stove off before leaving my apartment for 9 hours (i did not forget to turn the stove off)

burned my thumb on a baking sheet. feeling like i need to retire to the countryside for six months to recover. i'm indisposed as hell right now

Guy who invented doing serious analysis on low culture

i feel like if the electrical outlets in your apartment have been painted over your landlord should have to financially compensate you. Like not only to replace the outlets but also to ease the mental anguish of knowing they permitted a certified dumbass to paint the apartment before you moved in

a little laugh amidst the doom

thinking about learning to play the trumpet..................

pinky promise the next issue of my newspaper will come out tomorrow. and then the week after that, i'll be sending out a comics-only edition. it'll have been worth the wait! verylittlenews.org

There are but FOUR records left. Thank you for your voracity! If you want one, please pounce before they're gone forever. The music will always be free as in speech & beer both but this Art Object was made in limited quantities by limited humans.

technology has come so far and yet hold music still sucks. how is this possible

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

interesting bit of poster symmetry in my letterboxd 2025 in review

i am simply overhearing the gay hockey show from another room so i'm not sure but i'm starting to get the feeling that every hockey player is gay

maybe the greatest pitch frame in baseball history

traffic cones are so adorable i struggle to put it into words. they are a manifestation of humanity's bottomless well of kindness and are sacred to me in ways most things are not. um. i think. anyway, i enjoy footage and pictures of traffic cones a normal amount

i think it should be socially acceptable to cut the vents on someone's jacket if you do it really carefully

the world is a lot more beautiful since @nickyflowers.com told me they were working on a project about traffic cones so i started taking videos of traffic cones in strange situations to send them

wow linkedin has possibly the most heinous email notification preferences page i have ever seen. it should be illegal to make me click through a new page for all 50 different types of emails they want to send me

spent the past week thinking ah damn, did i lose my pencil case? did it fall out of my bag on the train? did i leave it somewhere? what a shame. had some nice pens in there. it was on my desk. which i have been sitting at for the past week. in plain view, on my desk, directly in front of my monitor
