Folks, just eat a bagel. They're delicious.

If the merger goes through, Warrior Nun is canon in the DCU. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

The best possible outcome here is that Netflix buys Warner Bros. Discovery… and then rebrands the entire company as HBO.

I never thought a color could be tone deaf, but here we are.

My 2026 goal is to continue not caring about how many followers I have or "reach" or whatever and just posting about things I care about and enjoy, and hoping they find the right people who want to read them.

December is off to a great start!

I continue to be unreasonably annoyed at products that are released in October/November and then immediately go on sale for Black Friday. Way to penalize your most dedicated and excited customers.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I'm so glad we got this out of the way, and now we can focus on the good parts of socialism. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025305...

Here's a pullet cleanser for your timeline.

you know it's serious because it wasn't called the Exposing Pedophile Sex Trafficking Enterprise In November bill

When you put all of your eggs in one basket, you're supposed to be careful with that basket.

Look, I get it. Calling a 13-year old girl a woman is gross and predatory. But your response that "I've never heard a 13-year old boy referred to as a man" is just a hilarious way to say you've never been to a Bar Mitzvah and don't know any Jews.

I beg you all to actually listen to the "fucking magnets how do they work" song. Not because you're wrong about anything, but because it slaps. youtu.be/_-agl0pOQfs

I remain convinced that aliens have not yet made contact with us because we still have multiple competing standards for which of the four buttons on a standard game controller mean "yes" and "cancel".

And now, thanks to Ceramic Shield 2, you can leave your sock full of quarters at home and still fight off attackers.

❓is there a term for "worst person/group of people you know have stolen and co-opted some innocuous gesture/symbol/word/phrase you love/habitually use and now it feels ruined"?

Several months in, the thing I hate most about ios26 is everyone moving their search boxes to the bottom. Sometimes it's right over the keyboard, sometimes it's just hanging out at the bottom of a column. Sometimes it's floating liquid glass window. I hate all of it. Hate it hate it hate it.

Haven’t travelled to the US for a while, but it appears my towel theory still holds based on this NYC hotel room. If you wake up in a random hotel room not knowing where on Earth you are, if the biggest towel in the room is smaller than the TV, you’re probably in the US…

People wonder why I live in NYC but then also get excited about who my Mayor is.

Sliwa is a kook and a goon, but he's not really a creep or a prick.

Sliwa still being flagrantly racist but also far and away the LESS racist of Mamdani's opponents in this election has been a real eye-opener

Sliwa is one of those crusty old racists who'd go, "You one a da good ones." to every marginalized person he got to know in person and his brain would just never fire that final neuron that would allow him to question and rethink his preconceived notions.

I'm not convinced that thinktanks were a good idea.

A thought about Liquid Glass: There's a fine line between the interface disappearing and the interface disappearing.

hey i skimmed your post and saw some words i recognize. anyway here's my opinion on what i imagine you said

Watched the Springsteen movie. It's full of contradictions. Parts are cliche. It's very dreamy. At times it feels completely unexpected but also so expected that I felt like I'd already seen it. I enjoyed it, but weird that Carmy gave up his dreams of being a Michelin star chef to pursue music.

I'm at the point where I will take any and all vaccines offered to me. Want more vaccines? Yes, please

I am deeply skeptical of electric hand warmers. They feel like repackaged malfunctioning other technology.

The Washington Post opinion section is a thing to behold today. (Don't worry, I canceled my subscription, but old habits die hard, and I tend to still navigate to their front page during my news reading in the morning.)

Can we just all agree that long press on an image pops up the menu to save it? No more faffing about with kebab menus.

Updating my LEGO White House

Working with industry partners at Meta, Graphika has joined a campaign to raise public awareness about online scams. Our new report Vulnerability Vultures focuses on an international ecosystem of scams designed to exploit the reputation of trusted organizations to defraud online users.

we could put this on the back of the new coin

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but we actually had some semblance of cultural norms for politics and journalism at one point. Does anyone remember how we got those in the first place, and could we do that again?

A thing people need to come to terms with: brand integrity isn't permanent. Brands that may have been great may not still be, and it's ok to stop buying or supporting them if they are no longer. (Also how great they were might be a figment of your imagination.) Believe them when they show you.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Didn't make it out to the march today, but I did make a sign. #nokings

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Coming soon: Apple TV Max, on your Macs, or on your Apple TV 9to5mac.com/2025/10/13/apple-...

Folks, it's just embarrassing at this point.

Rosie the Ribbiter

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I generally don't want random musical performances in my TV shows and I may make an exception for the oiled sax guy from The Lost Boys.

Mystery solved, y'all. I think this is Julian.

I'm excited for Oceans 26 www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

I stand by my earlier assessment that Peacemaker S1 had a much better opening song, but I appreciate the artistic integration of the way the new one fits into the intro sequences, and I've grown to like the new one more simply by association with S2, which is itself outstanding.

There are fewer transgender athletes in the US than there are Epstein victims.

I don't personally celebrate, but happy 'The Life of a Show Girl" release date to all who do. But I do support ending the harassment of people exploring harmless fan theories (this article references research my company did a few years ago): xtramagazine.com/culture/musi...

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!
