I’m “strongly remember wrapping all my school textbooks in brown paper or contact paper” years old

now that it gets dark early it’s the season where I want to watch Eyes Wide Shut at least weekly

As if the SCOTUS decision wasn't bad enough, the 6th circuit said "hold my beer" and explicitly created a constitutional right to bully trans kids who are already at tremendous risk of self harm and suicide. These judges want dead trans kids.

I love this dog and I know no dogs can be immortal but man is loving a pet hard!

Mamdani: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

Tried to make small talk with my hairdresser today about movies & discovered they do not watch movies because they find movies “too long” and they “get bored.” Guys, phones have officially fried everyone’s brains

This is a great read! And made me want to rewatch Bad Lieutenant.

listen I know last year the Dodgers fucked up and went to the White House and posed for the dumb pictures but the good news is that this year maybe there won’t be a White House for them to go to!!

DO NOT HURT MY KIKÉ BUT ALSO AHHHHHHHH

My baseball viewing is at the standing and pacing stage and has been for about 90 minutes now

Gonna roll straight from this into Game 7, today is a good day to be alive

Dodgers won AND I got to be Snake Plissken for a night? It was a good Halloween!

Okay I liked Weapons quite a lot.

There are many reasons I married @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social but things like this are high on the list

Halloween fun for everyone.

What a fucking mess

Dodgers have stressed me out enough this postseason that I'm ready to rewatch The Pitt for comfort

WHY DO WE EVER PUT BLAKE TREINEN IN WHY

Come to Sunnydale with us!

FUCK YES JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU FREDDIE WE HAVE ALL BEEN RELEASED FROM WHATEVER HELL DIMENSION WE HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN SINCE 5 PM

This intentional walking shit is really getting to me, man

If you’re watching the game and not stress eating the Halloween candy you bought for this Friday I don’t know who you are

our very old dog is nervously pacing

This game is slowly killing me; good thing I am caught up on grading for once

Game 3 status update: “MOMMY, TURN your CLAPPING down!!” says the 3yo.

This is some The Overlook Hotel-ass building design, which actually … seems appropriate

I warned you guys

Look guys we monkey pawed this shit months ago. We’re only in the World Series because that’ll make it hurt the most.

KIKÉ DRIVING IN OUR FIRST RUN LFG

I envision this just becoming the empty pool bed full of skeletons from Poltergeist

Why does this feel like it’s actively trying to imitate the aesthetic of Brazil or the opening of Joe vs the Volcano

Managed to make it out to see this guy signing some copies of what I think is his best comic

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

Writing rec letters while sitting in the music school lounge and … wait, who’s picking out the Halloween theme on the piano instead of playing the songs they worked on this week? Oh yes that would be my kid

Writing a rec letter for a student, I mentioned the great work they'd done with affinity groups at school and the way they work to build inclusive communities. Then I thought, "oh no, is this going to keep this kid out of a college they deserve to go to?" What the fuck kind of upside down world?

Almost all "solutions" you are hearing in education right now, particularly from folks not in the classroom, do absolutely nothing to address how students actually feel about their education.

The farther I get from Halt and Catch Fire, the more I realize it was lightning in a bottle. I don’t compare much to it. I can’t. But Out of Alcatraz has felt like another bolt in a bottle. The process, the people, the result. The full book is out today. I’ll be signing at Revenge Of tomorrow.

Man oh man baseball is a heartbreaker. There’s nothing like watching a whole team of men suddenly feel like they’re gonna barf.

Just remembered getting in trouble for refusing to stand and say the pledge of allegiance in 9th grade and you know what? I have nothing but pride for my small radical teenage self

it's that time of year where I think again about how some of the best sentences of my brain have gone to rec letters that only a handful of people will ever see (but: worth it!)

Who robbed the Louvre right answers only

New today on the site! @frankfalisi.bsky.social sits down with @jonbois.bsky.social & Alex Rubenstein to talk about SCORIGAMI, Secret Base, the hidden histories emerging in images, booth dynamics, and the science-fiction mathematics that keep us returning to games of heart and chance.

The images and footage of protests reminds me today of Marx, from the Communist Manifesto —

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Did the ending of this week’s The Lowdown feel super Lynchian (in a good way) to anyone else?

“Your energy is really antagonistic right now” is a phrase I just said to my middle schooler (& then I laughed to myself thinking about what an Older Millennial Parent thing that was to say, and how no Boomer parents would ever have said anything like that)

Daisy Buchanan is NOT crying at the beauty of Gatsby’s shirts, she is destroyed by the realization that the man she held up in her mind as her true soulmate has become as brainwashed by consumerism and greed as Tom & wants to buy her body and her love

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

I know I’m doing SOMETHING right as a parent because my generally apathetic 8 year old just asked if they could start a book club
