Getting diarrhea like, "Hope this isn't the diarrhea that was on the news"

I wrote about Naomi Klein joining Substack and why writers of conscience shouldn't launch new media ventures on platforms that court white supremacy for clicks.

Another historical inaccuracy from Nolan—IMAX had not yet been invented in the Mycenaean period, so this is not the aspect ratio that people saw in! Smh

you can reframe this whole thing by thinking of it less as 'losing third places' - which has happened, obviously - and more 'every possible location for youth to hang out is now much, much more policed'. there are hangout spots. can you go to them without the cops getting called on you?

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

Max out here just giving @rangedtouch.bsky.social's Shelved By Genre new bits for free.

I am pretty sure the GI issues I had last week are not connected to lettuce contamination, but dang is it hard to think about going back to that big salad in the fridge now.

While JK Rowling and Amnesty are being mentioned in the same breath it's worth remembering why she lost her job there.

never forget what they took from us

before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. that way, you can sell the second one to fund your journey. follow me for more Revenge Grindset tips and tricks

I reviewed Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle, going over the history of gamebooks in Japan and the affordances of the genre for an independent developer: ogrerun.com/2026/07/11/v...

Ah, the joys of researching new tools: trying to figure out if this thing full of AI bullshit or does it just have a couple things bolted onto the side so they have something to point to in order to get CEOs to buy it and is otherwise normal?

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

yeah i mean my worst colleagues didn't start wars though, they were mostly just rude in emails or things like that

*pinches bridge of nose, eyes closed, takes a deep breath* so do we have ANY idea how many living US Senators there are right now?

An absolute legend-tier hater

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

My Bonnie Tyler-related story: years ago, in the "literal music video" era, my friend posted the one for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Facebook, and his mom made one of the funniest comments I've ever read: "This is only funny to people who have never experienced a real total eclipse of the heart."

Shout out to this mental health wellness check ad that was at the LACC during AX that's using Cloud as an example of someone who needs a therapist

Spice World needs to be in the Criterion Collection.

“the establishment is trying to use these allegations to take platner down” yeah and it’s working because this dude sucks

If a company has to lay off 10,000 people, the executive team should be fired, because they clearly weren’t businessing very well.

Getting a high five from the bartender because I recognized her tattoo of a local band from over 15 years ago.

Sick. Awesome. Thanks for that. Really preferred this to funding a Blade game by the Dishonored people or people at Obsidian having jobs.

I feel like I need to make excuses when ordering this chicken sandwich. Like, normally I would get it spicy, but solid food alone is a bit dicey for me right now.

erotic thriller is such a great genre concept. like youre naked but you have to save the president

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

All three hosts eliminated, like one of those parties where the only people who live there are already asleep somewhere unseen. The world will now raid the grandpa's liquor cabinet of America

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

You want 1 in every 6 people on the internet on the planet playing Xbox games every day. Assuming you just mean over 15, that’s just under half of all adults with internet access on the PLANET EARTH playing Xbox every day. And your first crucial move is to *fire* 1600 people. This is madness.

That famous Le Guin schedule is definitely not the one she held to early on with one toddler and one newborn in the late 1950s.

The age old question: is this old video game hard because you need to understand a mechanic that is obtuse/ poorly explained/not translated well or is the code just jank at some parts?

Not to stereotype too much, but not surprised that the Tesla with the cross next to the license plate was the vehicle that made a left at the intersection where it was super clearly marked as not allowed to do so. I suppose it's fortunate they at least used their signal.

On this July 4th, remember the words of Dashiell Hammett, who was jailed by HUAC for not naming names. "I don’t let cops or judges tell me what I think democracy is." —Dashiell Hammett

Not that we didn't have the occasional illegal firework when I was growing up, but the difference living now in an area that isn't drought ridden and thus has a more wink wink attitude toward them is stark. Going to be hearing these explosions all night and probably into next week.

This is called “knowing your audience.”

Oh dang it, I am two trinkets away from having all of them, so I guess I am going to throw myself against these mini games before I finish Mina the Hollower.

There’s a technical term for “the most senior Catholic in the U.S. government.” In the Church, they call that a “layperson.”

I love how often Junichi Suwabe plays “grown man that beefs with a child” #witchhatatelier #wha #jjk #fatestaynight #frierenveyondjourneysend #irumakun

This world cup is fine, but could use some more Stephen Chow.

RIP to all the catholics excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

and I just think Leo went “yeah no fuck this, they had their chances, there’s no compromising with these people,” and I think the reason this is all so satisfying even to non-Catholics is that we all want to see people like this actually removed from their access to power but it happens so rarely
