Toronto has Hexen fever! Everyone here is obsessed with obscure switch hunts!

Watched Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) and wept for several minutes after it ended. Very funny movie that is also very emotionally affecting. Outstanding performance by Kathleen Turner.

Once again if there is anyone following me here who is from New York, my friend Liz is looking for a new place to rent in Brooklyn!

Love that this website is becoming barely functional!

At The Lido right now and they have Fire by Lizzy Mercier Descloux playing. A perfect Sunday in East Van.

Cannot overemphasize the grip Chairman Kaga had on me as a teenager. I loved Iron Chef!

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

I was in too much haste, and now have no time left.

As a teen, put on Brian Eno's Before and After Science in the CD player when my Dad gave me a drive to work. When he dropped me off he turned to me and said: "You can listen to this on your own next time."

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

Can we normalize landback?

I demand my extra hour back.

It's Pokemon Day so I'm celebrating the only time I've ever seen myself in media: this guy standing alone on his front lawn shrieking about The Computer

the day is today, the time is now my album Saint Elizabeth is out now ellaguro.bandcamp.com/album/saint-...

That's a very interesting story. I'm not sure if I believe it. I'm going to pretend this conversation never happened.

Hell Description feels like it's underselling what's in this article. Half the time you're reading it you feel like you're staring into a black hole! I highly recommend reading this.

This story is deeply disturbing. Great reporting here from Rebekah Valentine.

no. just say the restaurant has a rule. it’s not you. it’s a rule the restaurant has. that if you get an item to share, you can’t -- when eating fully loaded nachos, one person can’t just eat all the fully loaded ones. like, don’t look around, find the one with the most meat, and always eat that one

Mastroianni has that gift that the greatest screen actors (as distinguished from stage actors) have of seeming to live the role so fully that we assume the character goes on about the business of living whether the camera is on him or not. (1970)

If you haven't already please read this report on de-banking and account restrictions by my brilliant friend @internetmaggie.com! With all of the age verification and personal ID rolling out platforms like Discord, these kinds of restrictions and constraints are only getting worse.

I also had anxiety that my Tamagotchi would die if I didn't check in on it enough. The big difference is that my Tamagotchi wasn't using enough energy to melt the polar ice caps, deplete water reserves or destroy emissions targets.

I don't think you can just declare something interesting - that has to be established first. But in a similar vein I also think you can't just declare something boring and follow it up with saying no one should bother, thinking, reading in that particular space.

Your suffering will be great!

This sounds really neat! Also congrats @ellaguro.bsky.social on launching your new album.

This is so sad. The Computer Chronicles provides a great overview of the early days of computing and the Internet.
