The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

My biggest problem with nostalgia is how fucking unimaginative it is. Have a problem with the present? Imagine a better future! Even better than any of the moments of the past! If you're looking for some ideas to get you started, here are a thousand books written by crazy dreamers like you!

Now this is Content

I like the idea of “outrovert” as distinct from introvert or extrovert. But maybe this is just a pop psychology term precision-engineered to make me feel less like an antisocial weirdo 🤷🏼‍♂️

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

my take on the email protest discourse is that someone should make a protest planning app that 1) is great about anonymity 2) looks like Partiful

We could have been providing military aid to Ukraine. We could have been building our partnerships in the Pacific. We could have strengthened Europe’s defense industrial base. We could have helped build state capacity in South America. What a fucking disaster this has all been.

More than anything else it should give pro-Israel "liberals" and Democrats pause that their program of unconditional and unlimited support to an unrepentant apartheid state whose leadership openly clamors for genocide and permanent occupation over multiple countries is scaring off a worm like Cuomo

I know lots of people who might think my devotion to Andor is excessive. The thing is: The world is probably going to be really cruel for a long time. And we’ll need every scrap of culture we can find to sustain us.

COVID took the established trend and blasted it through the cannon of history.

Trump simultaneously destroying the cruise industry, the Southern auto industry, rural hospitals, and American farming is a real test of the theory that the Republican Party can survive solely on antipathy to libs and minorities

“We’re the thing that explodes when there’s too much friction in the air” Best Writing is fucking right

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Politics is increasingly divided between those who are comfortable with the complex systems of modernity and those who would rather burn the world down than accept that things are complicated now.

Note to self: Move to Canada and start small parcel smuggling business

At least this will be good for Bitcoin

In my remake of Silence of the Lambs, Buffalo Bill is basically just Ed Kemper or Ted Bundy, but all of the media assumes he's trans. Hannibal Lecter's huge insight is just continually telling Clarice "He's not trans" while Crawford repeatedly tells the news he is.

Just a few more ideas and I’m ready to launch my “how to prosper in an age of imperial decline” TikTok

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...

They care more about this than any of the recent massacres of children because they see dead pundits as people and dead kids as content.

I love these Hello ICE posters from Chicago - we need a Boston version.

Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.

He will not spend his last hours making peace with himself or his family or his maker. Instead he will spend it hypnotized by the machinery of fame he has sewn himself into, his atrophied soul drowned out by the din of the crowd clashing over whether his death is a tragedy or a triumph.

When he finally dies all his dipshit fans are going to try to Ouija board him back up by talking to him with AI

Many Dem politicians who are late to anti-Netanyahu policy are going to say "we could not have known at the time." There were plenty of ways to know back then. People tried to tell you. You just decided to play it safe on the issue. Better to let thousands die. Just like with Iraq.

Y’all are wild

wokeness was our social immune system. maybe you got hay fever now and then but better than dying of 9000 opportunistic infections

Pagliacci goes to see Pagliacci. He's in the audience, but also on the stage. "Is this, fuck," he thinks. "Am I in a Lynch film right now. Am I in Mullholland Drive." Captured by confusion, horror, and strange, exultant sorrow, the clown must admit he is no longer depressed

I don’t know, having to finish your work while someone next to you has a heart attack seems like relevant training for somebody who’s about to become a lawyer

NIMBYism taken to its logical conclusion

This is the problem with framing every scandal as a "distraction" from kitchen table issues: The Democrats don't have a signature "kitchen table" policy they want us to talk about instead! If you don't have a good alternative just talk about the child rapist and his friendship with the president

Right-wingers believe that we have machines that control the weather by zapping the atmosphere with electromagnetic waves. But they refuse to believe that the millions of machines we've built to burn 100,220,000 barrels of oil every day could possibly be changing the weather.

they call it the impossible burger because it was invented after the everything bagel

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

one thing grok didnt say when they trained it to be antisemitic was "free palestine"

everything's going great, having a super productive* day "productive" = compulsively reloading every social media app every 5 seconds desperately hoping for more Ken Paxton news

I am being negatively polarized from “mostly fine, few dumb ideas, would probably have ranked him third” to a rabid pro-Zohran partisan by how fucking vile this shit is.

The HHS Secretary says falls are good for you

The insane thing about this (actually pretty distressing) story is that it can be read as the Earth exploring new ways to reduce humanity’s carbon footprint

three years from now we want a majority that makes the right's persecution complex completely justified

My wonky take on this is that the moral harms of billionaires is slightly overrated, but the rule-of-law harms of billionaires is massively underrated. It's good to see this issue getting a bit more attention regardless.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot
