There's a chance I get to incorporate some Twilight Zone into a speculative fiction unit in quarter 2, so I decided ranking my top 10 Twilight Zone episodes counts as work now. This is my current Top 15 (generally these are unranked but the ones at the ~top 6 are my favorites)

On the flip side I would love a Tim Gunn to periodically come by and boost my self esteem with a “Make it work!”

STICK TO THE BOAT, is your true motto in whaling; but cases will sometimes happen when LEAP FROM THE BOAT, is still better.

RIP to everyone chotiner gets for their hubris but I’m different. And better. Maybe even better than chotiner

Okay, new profile pic again, back to honoring the great Cyclone Ryan, pitcher born 1866.

Montgomery County cancels upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month celebration because of concerns it could be a target for immigration enforcement.

There is one answer.

everyone should take three hours out of their day and watch THE LEOPARD, a total masterpiece of a film. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Please be as angry about this as you were about Jimmy Kimmel. There are no words for how heartbreaking this is. May his memory be a blessing.

The media tacitly allows our fascist government to skate by on memes & other 'America first' stuff, but, at its heart is a very visceral hatred of humanity on either side of a border. It is repugnant, and it cannot be chalked up to an already-evil "Let's take care of our own first" philosophy

I ran 10K and just realized I probably caught the last un-humid moments of the week. Very pleasant

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

HEARTWARMING: This company set billions of dollars on fire

This definitely squares with why reading Vineland for the first time recently hit so hard

Ever since I learned about tacocents dot com, I have been like Newman in that episode where he tries to hack the Michigan ten cents for bottles and cans system

BREAKING: The governments of Canada, Australia and the UK have formally recognised the Palestinian state. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/lcqb2s

Western Nebraska. Why? Because it is so deliciously devoid of anything.

For God’s sake leave Jalon Daniels alone #kufball

“That’s the way it crumbles. Cookie-wise.”

An imperfect movie but I appreciated the image of the near future presented in Ad Astra (2019), where the moon spaceport is awash with Subway, Applebee’s, DHL, etc.

if my fridge showed me an ad, I would execute the toaster right in front of it, just to set an example

THEY DEFORMED ME, COOP. REDUCED ME DOWN TO ONLY MY MOST RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERISTICS. I’M A CUTESY SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF. THE BOYS AT QUANTICO ARE CALLING ME A “CHEE-BEE.” I’M SEVEN CENTIMETERS TALL, COOP. 150 GRAMS OF VINYL PLASTIC.

The idea that communists you find annoying online are inhibiting a successful proletarian revolution in the United States in any significant way is just completely absurd

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

My daughter is taking a creative nonfiction class this semester, and her first assignment is to write a 1000-word essay about a place. Which place would you choose (and why)?

Watson Library, Lawrence, KS Forest Glen Park/Rock Creek Trail, Silver Spring, MD AFI Silver, Silver Spring, MD Bellevue, NE 7017 Senalda Rd, LOS ANGELES, CA Ranch Peñasquitos, San Diego, CA

One of the sillier things I've done. The sounds of autumn [by way Twin Peaks and Charlie Brown]

I am somehow in first place in my Learned League Rundle C bracket. Please understand this is fate playing a prank on me. My one goal every season is not to get relegated to D. I have 26 fewer correct answers than second place.

it's so funny to argue about what flag the grandma choking on tear gas outside an ICE facility should have been carrying

I threw on Laura at lunch—this was my true introduction/indoctrination into film noir, and damn this movie is something else. Just so much weirdness all colliding at one focal point. Perfection

TIL what a "Ploughman's lunch" is, and also @godwhatamess.bsky.social made me the best lunch I've had since my school sprung for Ruan Thai three years ago (#NeverForget)

the sub who lost control of the class theory of history

Took me a min to read Maggie Millner’s gr8 piece in @yalereview.bsky.social, but I’d noted the defensive IG comments when it appeared, which show the lightning speed w which lyric shame circulates. So chuffed she used my work so subtly!! yalereview.org/article/mill... “Is Mary Oliver Embarrassing?”

Obada doesn’t really have internet anymore (I get a message maybe every other day) but he needs help

A constant battle: is it worth learning about and arguing against whatever, say, Ezra Klein is doing, or is simply muting the name and continuing to exist the right move. Genuinely I go back and forth

UPDATE—There were actually 2 U.S. citizens detained during the ICE raid in Chicago that Kristi Noem personally participated in. "She can go to Hell," said State Senator Cristina Castro when asked for comment. "Don't come to my community."

Cal Raleigh 56 homers this year, Carter Jensen in 2026???? 👀

These are just dudes. I know they're federal agents but that dude showed up to work in Converse and jeans just to ruin people's lives. What a profound moral embarrassment.
