Cannot believe it took me eight months from moving back to bathe myself in the healing waters of Lake Michigan

I made a frutiger aero soft soap themed xenomorph...

Having a kid is harder than not having a kid and getting annoyed at the presence of children/special dispensations made for parents is anti-social. That said, parents need to understand that a shared space is a shared space and if their kid is melting down, they've gotta jump on the grenade

Got kicked out of the bird sanctuary for muttering "this one is so stupid, this one sucks" too loudly

Star Wars is 50 years old!!! Gen X execs need to finally accept that getting a young person to care about Star Wars is comparable to trying to get them to care about The Lone Ranger

the urge to make art can easily be abated by making a small purchase or eating some sort of corn byproduct smashed into an interesting shape

I watch every Subway Takes video from start to finish and when someone says a take I agree with I go "mmmm yum yum" and when they say a take I disagree with I start swinging a golf club around my office until something I love has been broken

As soon as you start having thoughts like this it’s over. You have become a colony for the cognitovirus my guy

Feels like the internet learned the phrase "purple prose" and has spent the ensuing decade trying to make it apply to any turn of phrase that isn't used in everyday conversation

The grad ceremony booing thing feels like the final collapse of Cultural Kayfabe. The idea that rich old people got what they have with elbow grease and business acumen doesn't hold water with younger generations and they don't want to hear a guy pontificate about a future he won't look in the eye

Fun new thing that's happening a lot: constant typos from blowing past the AI auto-complete phrases that I didn't ask for

Getting to a point where I dont care what happens to the economy as long as these guys eat shit spectacularly

It's Wrong Jacket Week in Chicago, we are celebrating the changing seasons by making sure that you are 100% always wearing the wrong jacket no matter what you do

They are straight up liquefying Grogu with a beam today

reports are saying grogu has been aged up into a character named "The Long Teen" in his new film and audiences responded so poorly that theyre planning on incinerating him with a huge beam

Next game night I’m breaking these pups out Shout out to @dansheehan.bsky.social and Julia!

Had no idea one of the guys from Creed was a crooner until Mike wrote this piece and now you can know that too

Doordash discourse is the collision point between a thing most people accept as true (quality of life is in decline despite dramatically rising cost of living) and a thing most people will cleave you in twain for mentioning (our societal overreliance on treats as a means of coping with that decline)

Back in my day when something was “acquired by SHEIN” it just meant I’d had a productive trip to the store

My mind often wanders to a drunk man I saw wearing a shirt that said KICKBALL DOT COM who, when asked about the shirt, said "forget about it man, kickball sucks"

The grass is always greener in the beautiful city of Chicago, Illinois

Kind of a perfect metaphor. The kids just worked four years and took out loans and the administration can't be bothered to find a human willing to say their names aloud

“Sociologists have long argued that human relationships are sustained less by intensity and more by regularity. Simply encountering the same people repeatedly builds closeness over time. Youth offers this naturally. Adulthood dismantles it completely.”

Oh hell yeah it's here @dansheehan.bsky.social

WHO’S A GOOD BOY? The game where dogs can sin coming soon

*my dog starts barking at someone* “I’m so sorry, he’s not a good person, he’s devoid of light”

I think if you see someone live streaming in public we have to make the it the norm to say "camera down, piss boy!" and then throw a full cup of water on them to make it appear as though they've peed themselves.

I dunno what's wrong doc, I've been using the beef tallow in my CPAP just like RFK told me to

Leaping atop a moving Waymo to claim it like one of those dragons from Avatar

Would love to get this in front of the many writer friends I have who are tangentially into Magic but not Magic Guys

realizing I've been confusing philandering with phylactery and sprinting out of the room to inform my friend that cheating on his wife won't make him immortal

Taking out the trash should earn me coins that I can use to unlock upgrades on my next trash run (faster movement, less stinky trash, blade of god)

The future is here, follow me or get left behind! Where are we going? Not important! Trust me, it's pretty cool. Wow you're really locked in on the whole "where are we going" thing. Fine, not that it should matter but we're going to Toilet World. Okay see this is exactly how I thought you'd react

When we got Daniel's pitch, one about a dad and his son navigating changing times and and a changing game in one of the world's weirdest cities, I couldn't wait to read it. I'm thrilled to get to help work like this find its audience and thankful to @dmjmagic.bsky.social for trusting us with it.

Desperately need people to understand that there's a war being fought against your right to interiority and when you try to simplify (even bad!) art down into digestible little content cubes, you are letting the wrong side gain ground

It's a small drop in an ocean of creative industry nightmares but Cascade Cascade is paying all of its writers best-in-space rates for their writing because of the simple idea that a thing made by all of us should pay all of us. Feels good!

Holy smokes @cascadecascade.com is about to pay me more for my first article than anything I ever wrote for pulitzer prize winning major daily newspaper @denverpost.com. Thank you to everyone who is supporting fair compensation for Magic writers, indie projects are the future (and present).

Hyperion has one of my all time favorite fictional conceits (a group of seemingly unrelated strangers taking turns telling their tales) and made the funniest possible use of it almost immediately (second guy's tale is like 80% graphic descriptions of sex)

Reading Hyperion and thinking about how it would be cool to build a farcaster that takes me to Jitlada

Quelling the Ceaseless Hunger Making her CASCADE CASCADE debut, @narukamiknight.bsky.social considers the continual hunger that Magic can create inside of oneself while also contemplating her own journey towards minimalism. www.cascadecascade.com/quelling-the...

@dansheehan.bsky.social happy mothers day

If you thought derivative mass-appeal entertainment was bad when it was being made by opportunistic hacks, just wait until it's made by crypto guys mashing tropes together! It can get so much worse! You're about to see 10,000 lesser versions of Iron Man. The Snyderverse will feel like a feast

Conceptually, I respect this so much. This is real marketing.

😎

I really don't think there's a choice I judge more harshly than owning one of those big pickups. The official vehicle of guys who daydream about killing people, an American gundam that costs 200 dollars to fill up and is engineered primarily to smash pedestrians into mist on the way to Starbucks

Looking at everything that happened after, I've searched my heart and realized that it was necessary to murder Hitchbot. We should've been more antagonistic towards robots pretending to be our friends. Philadelphia once again proves to be a city of prophets.

Been loving the way that this season of Hacks has almost let itself feel like sci-fi for a couple minutes of each episode. Whenever it leaves the bubble of Deborah/Ava's work and checks in on the real world, the audience is confronted by the overwhelming bleakness of 2026 America

They're arriving!!!
