THE FURIOUS hits theaters this weekend. For the occasion, I wrote about action director Kensuke Sonomura, one of the most innovative fight choreographers working today. mubi.com/en/notebook/...

What’s up bro you’ve barely touched your enema sausage (Not AI, not a meme, I genuinely found this browsing AliX for cookware) (The ALT text requirement might break me)

THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? FUCK YOU

that Atlantic article on post-literacy is going to stay with me for a while. I had to fight my way back into my current green-belt literacy in my late 40s and it was not fun. At least I had the muscles to reawaken, and a lifelong love of the activity to motivate me.

The Furious didn’t quite unseat The Raid for me as the greatest modern action movie but man. It came pretty close. Preposterously skilled, highly-motivated and brutal men trying to murder each other with anything to hand: hammers, bows, bicycles, blocks of ice…it’s a fucking riot

"Nearly 30 percent of American adults cannot paraphrase or make inferences from a multipage text. In 2017, that number was less than 20 percent." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This just happened: I was headed out, went down the stairs to the station, saw my wife and child going up the escalator beside the stairs, leaned over and said ‘Hi!’ In the voice of God to the top of their heads. My wife shouts ‘Mosquito!’ and gestures at my forehead. I one shot it, blood everywhere

Potential kinetic energy batteries are nuts

I know we all hate Kalshi but like…wouldn’t it be nice to have some cash to celebrate

a lot of writers and podcasters need to learn that they are not entitled to freely adapt any book they take a liking to. do you want to tell an existing story in a new medium? cool. talk to the author. collaborate with them if they want. license it if they're interested. or start from scratch.

The sheer dollar amount of Total Trades Involving Paul George has to be in the billions by now

If all this ‘LeBron to the Warriors’ smoke is some Kalshi scam I swear to god

well that's fucking amazing. good lord, lmao, thank god this comedian pulled it out of the fire.

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

John Roberts handing down Slaughter and Cook together felt like a weird domination ritual in which he gets to flaunt his power to issue irreconcilable rulings that perfectly track his partisan preferences and we all just to take it because, really, who's gonna stop him? slate.com/news-and-pol...

Did they 3D print this (Also it is hilarious how the great real estate mogul keeps getting stuffed by contractors)

My tweet from the first night Jim walked into our house... He's been here ever since.

Made some scones for another rainy season weekend Being raised Northern Irish Catholic, I will insist that these are pronounced a hard ‘SCONN’ and NOT the frankly Protestant ‘SCEAUNE’.

do I die a little every time I turn on the a/c in summer? Of course. do i die a little every time I turn on the gas stove to cook? of course I'd die a WHOLE FUCK OF A LOT MORE IF I DIDN'T and we are all wired with the same biological survival imperatives so please. let's get real

Jim Shooter and Voltaire…said absolutely nobody til Tom showed us all what true courage is

There's always such a range, people going "everything I own is younger than 3 years old, from when I lost literally everything I own due to Circumstances" to "I guess my 1790's dresser counts" Someone with a 40 year old favorite band shirt, rubbing shoulders with someone with a 200 year old book

I always like thinking about: what is the oldest object you regularly use, the oldest thing you're using in your normal everyday life

Lost the entire day to just trying out weird new (to me) Steam sale indie games There were a few misses but in general the hive mind isn’t wrong. Also did you know you don’t need to spend $$$ on a SteamDeck etc to play your Steam indies anymore? Cheap Android handhelds can play a TON

More big slices. I now realllllly want a big oven like the Gozney Arc XL now so I can make 16’’ pies but there is simply no way to make it work in a Tokyo apartment (and still have somewhere to hang our washing)

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

if it's not the dumbest ever, i wanna hear your picks

Problem: want big slices but have small oven Solution: make weird shaped pizza into two big slices

You can’t spent four years telling people the Republican Party is an existential threat to American democracy and has broken every law on the books, spend the following four years trying to pretend none of it happened, and expect to remain in office when the republicans come back to break more laws.

Really kind of remarkable how Hasan Piker just wore a suit and the entire non-left political apparatus just kind of threw their hands up like ‘we can’t beat this guy, we have nothing on him now’

Anytime Ricky Jay is mentioned, I love to post this card trick. No speaking, just amazing skill

I have been trying saying to centrist types "did you know the UK has only ever had one transgender judge, and she quit, left the country, and is running an exile network from Ireland to help others flee?" I think it does unnerve them because they usually go quiet rather than replying.

Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire

Elon, celebrating being the world's richest father by getting absolutely ganked on weird research drugs and then logging into a twitter account where he pretends to be one of his kids, in order to sext a lady who will later this week receive a test tube of his sperm on dry ice

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

Mamdani’s Knicks celebration speech made everybody in NY ecstatic except somehow the owner of the team. Can we talk about those deep cuts tho…! That man locked up Jared Jeffries’ vote FOR LIFE
