brutal ending

are you looking for an affordable lamp in a style other than midcentury mcmodern? well too fucking bad

the disco ball in the google logo is so powerful. like the 2001 monolith. I’m crouching, jumping, screaming. Hitting stuff with bones

imagine trying to line up what you think is a wide open 3 and then the spider from lord of the rings suddenly flies into your peripheral vision

Wemby omg

Happy retirement to Chris Taylor, aka our very own CT3, aka the man who never did anything wrong in his life. A gift we got seemingly out of nowhere, easily one of my favorite players I've ever had the honor to root for.

ugh you guys are so cringe, just because Everlane sold out to Shein does not make them “fucking sellouts.” grow up 🙄

what’s good about the first 2 movies is the Boys Own Adventure vibe, with goofy comedy & corny romance & dudes being bros. The family dramas and stuff about governments and the force and outer space were the worst parts. I don’t have opinions about the other movies because I don’t care about them

also in the audio she pronounces the t in Santa Monica

remember when everyone agreed that tech wasn’t good enough when it put us in the uncanny valley and now we’re told the uncanny valley is great and it’s where we’re all gonna live forever and we should just grow up and love the uncanny or die

so “vlog” is a word but “vato” and “gevalt” aren’t? whatever

I got this from the wall of an abandoned, dilapidated East Texas Texas house that was surrounded by scattered rotting deer carcasses and a partially uncovered well.

My boss is messaging me on teams

in her new book Lena Dunham more than once says her sibling Cyrus lives in “East Los Angeles”

One of my thoughts on 4/20 is that the general cultural mode of a guy who likes drugs has moved from a kind of hippy let’s all get along sort of guy to a “I am better than you because I do drugs and have become the ubermensch” sort of guy and it’s been a pretty big catastrophe for the human race

another Monday morning, another opportunity to wait behind my neighbor as she slowly and carefully inches her way through the **four-way stop sign** intersection

this is a posting-about-writing-about-chair-design account now

In another chapter they start by saying a chair is “attributed to Gerrit Rietveld” then 5 pages later that same chair is captioned as “by Gerrit Rietveld.” mm-hmm

I don’t like these Paul Frankl chairs. why must they cleave. no contranyms allowed in my house

there may well be people who insisted on helping her; there may be some continuing to do so right now. HDW is an autonomous adult—what do people think effective “insisting” would look like in this context?

good morning

“Dig Me Out” live at 924 Gilman’s Punk Prom in ‘97 - happy 29 years of the record today! 🎥 aezrax on YouTube

this reminds me of how it’s not really a compliment when someone says a movie shot is “like a painting.” it shouldn’t be like a painting, it should be like a movie. because it is a movie

The latest TikTok trend is called "Millandstanding." It's when you try to list as many Ray Milland roles as you can think of in under a minute. I have to admit it's nice to see young people take an interest in Ray Milland

“indie sleaze” didn’t start in New York in the 00s, it started in LA in the 90s

Jordan Firstman’s comments about Heated Rivalry are getting a lot of attention but has anyone else noticed his other outrageous claim (that he’s 34 years old)?

Do I need to finish the My Struggle series before I begin On the Calculation of Volume or are they stand-alone entries in the Scandiverse

if you are leaving a book in the library you aren't reclaiming that book its of no concern to you what happens after

people say “none of my succulent pots have drainage holes” with the same smugness they say “my dogs don’t need a leash.” oh okay I’ll order a special plaque for you and your plants and dogs then

it’s really insane how much Rowling et al. hate children

where can I buy the sweater Kiké is wearing here

I feel like there’s got to be a happy medium between “Everyone who has ever watched a cartoon after the age of eight is an unwashed peasant” and “There is no difference between my erotic Mario Kart fan fiction and Macbeth except my fanfic is morally superior.”

this is what I picture when the guy at the weed store says “this one is Chill, this one is Uplift, this one is Sleep”

he chased it. of course he chased it. he’s out. he’s been out since the day he was born

“It seems worth observing in passing that Otherness is a very dangerous category, one we are well off without; but fortunately, in literature and culture, it has also become a very tedious one.” (Fredric Jameson, Nostalgia for the Present)

I think I have the kind of adhd Columbo had

all Nicole Kidman’s characters’ wigs are diegetic. it doesn’t matter that no one ever mentions it onscreen. every one of them

if someone said this to me I would fully go island Rachel McAdams

thought I saw Blake Snell at the Canoga Park Home Goods today. but then I thought, he wouldn’t be there (or would he?) so it wasn’t him (or was it)

I like to call them “The Geese”

what the fuck

gonna miss him
