If you can hear this image, you need to stretch and eat more fiber.

Literally uninterested in anything that contains the words “Ross douthat” and “sex” in the same paragraph

You have yeah’d your last yeah yeahs

Ok how dare you. The muppets would never sink to this level. You think gonzo would ever let an innocent duck be harmed??? You think Sam Eagle wouldn’t look up phosphate? Please.

Muppets The Road. Make cormac McCarthy weep.

Saw a Korean dude rocking a Mexico soccer jersey to match his girlfriend. And that? That’s love.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Big deal. If you reduced the human body into a jar, it would be mostly water, proteins, some fat, trace minerals, and bone stuff. We are basically a bone flavored protein shake.

Pretending I’m cool and watching the knicks game by just randomly shouting DEFENSE loud enough for my neighbors to hear

Buffy had such an outsized effect on me, and oh man this one hurts.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Sick and tired of all these manosphere dudes trying to tell us how to be a man. When cmon everyone knows to be a man you must be swift as a coursing river, with the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

Updated my substack with life news and some projecy updates! hellotherexu.substack.com/p/life-updat...

When I tell you wen wen is my go to for all things knowledge, I mean it. Blessed are those who give away information for free!!!

No? I’m not? Proud to say everything I write is 100% human only slop.

Every week I watch witch hat atelier and think “yea this is a masterclass on how magic systems should be explained.”

The Granta controversy surrounding a Commonwealth Prize-winning story tells us less about AI than about the enduring metropolitan expectation that writing from the South should sound opaque, excessive, and primitive. africasacountry.com/2026/05/how-...

We asked the sea witch if the curse was from a sea witch, and the sea witch said no, so damnnnnn guess we’ll never know!

the taco bell chihuahua said live mas not “live mass surveillance”

Some of my friends are having their second kid and I just spent 20 hours grinding in Diablo for A CRAB WITH A KNIFE!!! Life is about choices and you can choose CRAB WITH A KNIFE!!!

As everyone who has attended knows, Clarion is a transformative, once-in-a-lifetime experience. It can also be a prohibitively expensive one for some. If you're able, maybe you could help out aegor, one of our 2026 attendees, on their journey!

I cannot stress enough how you shouldn’t follow me for serious things. Like, yes, I am an author, but I also just spent 15 minutes procrastinating my writing by trying to remember a song I hadn’t heard for over 10 years (“what’s luv” - fat joe, Ashanti, ja rule)

Hey it’s me!!! Thrilled to be heading to clarion this summer!

Refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, cheddar cheese, olives (canned), tomatoes. No jalapeños (midwestern version)

Bulbasaur, charmander, squrtle, evee, pigeot, and yea pikachu but only the chubby og unwanted rat version

Top shortage creating devastating social and technological consequences

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

everything everywhere all at once and grogu

Dorohedoro s2 has not toned anything down and started with a lot of big bug guy. Excellent!

A great list if you’re attending! Will give a big thumbs up to Lula cafe, dove’s luncheonette, cellar door, JJ Thai, and kie gol lanee. I would also add Joong Boo Market, which is a Korean grocery store with a food court that is so homey and perfect if you want that ajumma taste.

Congratulations to the Mets for their 12th straight loss. At this point, even the Mets are protesting playing as the Mets.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Justice for the plesiosaur which is “not technically a dinosaur” for perverse reasons of naming or whatever but which is a dinosaur forever IN MY HEART

Why am I up blue skying at midnight? (blue birding? I’m not using the word skeets for my own mental health) - because someone didn’t finish their taxes and if I fuck this up, I might go to jail 🤗 this is an exceptional system of financial governance!!

Like what did Swalwell bring to the table? He’s a white dude who was vaguely Republican and then became an outsider ish dem? He has a perpetual almost beard and is into Asians? Y’alls could throw a rock in any major Californian city and hit 10 dudes with the same qualifications.

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

The rye chip is the best out of all chex mix ingredients. Anyone who disagrees with me is working for big pretzel.

Daily bunny no.3285 made it home safely

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

COPY MOON JOY will now be my go to response

Congratulations to Venezuela for what can only be described as a nail biter. An incredible game for a wild WBC. A team that won with so much heart. INCREDIBLE WORK!!! I NEED TO LAY DOWN!!

Congrats to Venezuela for an amazing game. Hot damn. Knocking out Japan (sob), but oh man with such verve!

I think every time men complain about women in video games, they should be forced to play as tofu but with hands (and little gloves.)

Was off coffee. Now am back on. If the end of the world seems nigh, I don’t want to under caffeinated for it etc
