Mayor, DA, and SFPD should open a kidnapping investigation immediately

spider noir looks like peak cage and i'm here for it

Randomly looked to see how much a new BluRay player costs and it is $$$. I guess I’m not going back to physical media any time soon

Most professional comedians release one big special every few years. Josh Johnson somehow has one every other week? Like damn does he even have “work it out” nights at the local laugh factory? Insane

No one should be creating partnerships with HP at this point given the ways JK Rowling is spending her money to actively harm our trans friends. Hopefully Avalon Hill, a game studio within Hasbro, will steer free of this nonsense. I'll reach out to them and put in my 2 cents.

oh nothing, just watching the video clip of Michelle Yeoh winning her Oscar in 2023 and crying all over again

Disney doing an ad for NEXT YEAR's super bowl is crazy work

I love the “ICE Surveillance Zine” that @404mediaco put out. Beautiful art, great writing, and the Risograph printing is top notch. Read it online here https://www.404media.co/icezine/ #zine #ice #risograph

Exactly my thought when I was watching the ad.

And if you don’t think that was explicitly political you were maybe not watching things like… the sugar cane fields? Electric poles? The men grinding on each other? The little boy? The americas shout out? What moooore do you want?

We used to live in a society.

Read a comment saying that podcasts are mostly just "middle-aged men drama" and that sounds about right.

having trouble processing the washington post news on top of all the other news of the worst people in the world gutting or degrading things that matter. I'm just so sad & angry. primarily, the journalists who've been laid off (many of whom i look up to) deserve better. but it hurts all of us.

No one will believe me because I didn't talk about it back in the day, but I never liked JC since the beginning. We were in the same circles but I always avoided him like the plague.

hello it's 7am and i'm making meal prep breakfast burritos. also i am on deadline and i'm already behind. also i have improv practice today and i'm performing a sold out show. JUST A NORMAL SUNDAY

imagine if someone said "it's ok, all the n&zis need are a strong set of regulations and training."

wait what the fuck is this www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

It took Batman to speak up about the Super Bowl. That's where we're at in 2026.

today's lesson is not slack people super early in the morning

I'm reading Wuthering Heights currently so I can be properly rage-baited by the movie. 20 pages in and I'm thinking maybe I'll be relieved instead.

maybe the mountain lion is from another dimension

Very pissed off that a certain Amazon-funded movie will be in my local Regal when it didn't show A24's Eternity. Or A24's If I Had Legs I'd Kick You. Or Neon's No Other Choice. I know that's not necessarily the theater's decision but WHAT ARE YOU DOING

I can't read this because paywall but the best meal I've ever had was on a Singapore Airlines flight. And it wasn't one of the main meals; it was the curry instant noodles I requested in-between meals. That stuff SLAPS.

I went to the Shamilton improv musical last night and it healed my soul. Met my improv heroes, made some friends, and laughed and laughed. Much needed moment of joy.

You’ve never see a more random group of celebrities lip syncing Let It Be. Every new person will surprise delight surprise you 🥴🥴🤭🤭 Part 1 of 2

Currently playing in a grimdark RPG campaign. Can’t help but feel that the current reality is pretty grimdark too.

you know, with the volatile media market and the constant layoffs, maybe freelancing really is the best option

No Other Choice Oscars snub? Potentially but also I don’t know how much that’s because of the director’s WGA indiscretions

I'm sad this is sold out because this is a BONKERS comedy concept. Stand-up IN A SUBWAY TRAIN and people listen via headphones?! sfsketchfest2026.sched.com/event/2DkDh/...

Got a random reminder for Christmas, which tells me that my phone is also eager for this year to be over (even though it’s January 🫠)

If your event is not in San Francisco, please don't say it's in San Francisco. Burlingame? Not San Francisco. San Mateo? Not San Francisco. Santa Clara? NOT SAN FRANCISCO.

Our devotion to brands and franchises — rather than to the artists who create the stories we love — has turned fandom into a seemingly inexhaustible resource to be consumed forever by a class of corporate Doomsday Machines. I’ve decided to re-examine my attachments.

Ahead of time, you first have to turn on full encryption on your devices, it’s not that cumbersome—a good guide here:

This is the only thing that makes me want an iPhone 17 Pro. www.spigen.com/products/iph...

Genuinely, "touch grass" is the nicest Gen Z insult. It's saying "step away from the computer and connect with nature." That's nice!

I loved watching this quick video recap of how Penguin designer Elisha Zepeda made the book covers for 10 books that came out in 2025. Zepeda has a much longer look at his process on YT. [instagram.com]

How does one not go insane? A perennial question.

So I guess I’m going back to school? Plot twisttttt

the world is on fire but at least there's a new season of drag race

A lot of tech news is very forward-looking. That makes sense, and I partake in that too. But there are times when I think it's a whole lot more important to focus on the here and now.

I can finally announce: I am in the next season (series) of Taskmaster! My favorite tv show! I’ve seen every season & some multiple times! Thrilled to be with this group of hilarious sweeties. Amy Gledhill Joanna Page Armando Iannucci Joel Dommett And me!

I might do a newsletter / blog post about this, but I made 10 meal prep breakfast burritos that I then froze/reheated etc and it's actually... good? And it was... inexpensive? Might do more of this in the coming months.
