anyway go see One Battle After Another in a movie theater, I know we said this about Oppenheimer but I mean it for real with this one, there are cinematographic and audio mixing things that are essential to the experience and you won't get it at home

I'll add that while there's nothing wrong with comfort art, there's absolutely something wrong if you're willing to engage ONLY with comfort art. You should be running into art that perplexes you or gets under your skin or makes you ask questions or that you dislike without calling for its removal.

The trailer that was promised for upcoming Psycho H mega project, 'All The Colour Of The Dark', all 9 minutes of it, chock full of amateurish technical errors that I'm gonna lean into from this point on and say are intentional. www.youtube.com/watch?v=phZJ...

i am on here, sometimes. look at this!

i'm trying to find the right balance between following my heart (checking out what my friends are talking about online) and not losing my mind (checking out what my friends are talking about online).

this is exactly how i look when crafting a post with a typo, by the way.

op-ed writers will often do this neat trick where they conflate a some people becoming annoyed at co-workers adding pronouns on slack with the "debate" on whether it should be official u.s. policy that trans people should die. a clever way of framing perceived virtue signaling as the true harm here.

I've been hard in Boxcutters and Evening House Mode the past two weeks, but as this is My Busiest Year, I've also got my debut novel coming out at the tail end of summer! The official release date is August 26th. Pubbin' w/my friends at Deep Overstock, an indie press built up from Powell's shelves

may gray becomes june gloom which gives way to july poo-ly which in turn becomes august blahgust, eventually transforming into your local honda dealership's september to remember sales event.

captains and first officers should chat before and during each flight, taking on the roles of characters "captain allears" and "first officer blunt," respectively.

I think about this every day

clinging to ragebait like a baby monkey clings to its cloth surrogate.

Bourdain's quote on dictators eating shit food is something I think about a lot. Just cooking something nice to eat with my friends is very likely a better meal than some of the most powerful people will ever eat in their lives

So fun to help out with this @climatetown.bsky.social vid on the gazillions of dollars spent to keep us all on the teats (literally) of big dairy www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQiL...

your labubu lays eggs in your ears while you sleep.

every time writing advice discourse emerges, just remember: a TRUE writer NEVER writes.

No attendance policy. Not much is really enforced. Seems like a sweet gig for slacking.

are u.s. senators just allowed to not show up to work? should i become one.

“They only let the smartest and best people fly a plane of this size, and it feels good to know that. No one is allowed in the cockpit if there’s something wrong with them. So, if you’re here, you must be fine.”

when you, my best and only friends, change your names and profile pictures, it leaves me adrift, confused, and a little afraid. please keep my heart in mind when you attempt a rebrand.

looked up "bluesky" to see why people are saying that bluesky is dying and saw a penis. bluesky is fine.

three day weekend.

keep seeing a fiverr commercial about freelancers who trained AI to replicate their work. unrelated, but i found a bear. named it pizza. i'm training it to become violent every time it smells, looks at, or thinks of me.

Congratulations @katiehonan.bsky.social on writing the best piece of predictive science fiction of all time

STOP: Don’t panic–organize! @thefreeradical.org and I consulted for weeks with experts about the bill attacking Medicaid for trans people. We find that advocates can still kill the bill or mitigate its impacts through direct action and community solidarity. 🧵👇🏽 www.madycast.com/p/dont-panic...

why are the wienermobile drivers using nom de guerres

I was a teen during the 1970s and there are so many parallels. I laugh when Naomi Klein says, "Daddy's back." It's spot on.

posi take - the drugs will be more mellow than the stuff out there today

we're really speedrunning a reboot of the '60s and heading straight into the numb terror of the '70s.

Prediction: cultural conservative appeals currently being sold as Christianity will, increasingly in the next 10 yrs, be sold as New Age beliefs. e.g. "Biblical womanhood" will be seamlessly replaced by the "divine feminine" New Age concept. The gender binary is more durable than its justification.

MAHA literally only makes sense as a Christian purity crusade, essentially applying New Thought to public health and reinventing eugenics along the way

appalled and disgusted that my timesheet tracking software just gave me a genuinely inspiring motivational quote. somehow, i knew it would eventually come to this.

i balance my work with my post-work work and with all the pre-work work that, inevitably, becomes weekend work. and then i die.

The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.

scrolling from the most heinous news you've ever seen since yesterday to someone sharing that, actually, it's the red m&ms that make you horny.

my summer reading list? i'm so glad you asked. it's 98% slack messages that start off "hey! you busy?"

also: if you genuinely think “nothing is working”, if you’re totally, unwaveringly blackpilled — log off! its honestly kind of crazy, if you spell it out, to be fighting people online 12 hours a day on something you think is, at its core, hopeless

I don’t think the bellwether for something “working” can be if there’s immediate consequences for the target; the reason why I think Ms. Rachel’s advocacy for Gazan children is self-evidently effective is that emotional appeals to normie parents is a powerful mover on public opinion

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

oh i know a cindy sherman fan when i see one

♦️ happy and honored to be part of this team. i want to read your 🫵 work. ♦️

See, this is why you go Pynchon instead of Foster Wallace. You will never find another person at a party who's read Gravity's Rainbow. This doesn't have to happen to you.
