You know how when you're scratching a dog and you get just the right spot the dog will kinda torque their whole body to lean into the scratch? Really good books are like that.

i think the grey is supposed to be in handcuffs but the chain has just become a sensual line of motion swooping ones eyes down to its smooth genitals

how are we doing unsolicited dick pics on main in the year 2026? how were we doing unsolicited dick pics, in any context, ever?

trying to overturn a free and fair election is, in a real democracy, one of the most serious crimes there is nine years is a light sentence for what she did

Somewhere in here I have an about-to-be college graduate.

I am preoccupied at graduation but as to #2? Very possibly either this or Spy Game. #HATM

Someone named their kid Maximus Vessel and I am not even kidding a about this.

The amusement at finding an Oregon’s drivers license on the bookshelf in your daughter’s apartment and her subsequent “I plead the fifth” when asked. (She has never been to Oregon nor can she drive.)

Last I checked a movie that hasn't even been released yet cannot be a bomb by definition I'm not saying it won't be – I would be shocked if MOTU is a big hit – but no one's seen the fucking thing yet and we could, I dunno, calm down a little bit we don't need to be hyperbolic just bc we're online

here is your horoscope for today

This - among other reasons - is why I don’t do that.

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

Out for lunch with my daughter, her roommates, and all the parents. One of the roommates was hesitant on trying something spicy, to which my daughter responded “Fear is the mind killer.” Clearly I have been parenting correctly.

Look, it’s simple, really. The GOP are white supremacists. FOX is the mouthpiece for white supremacists. That’s it. That’s all you need to know.

Fuck this Fucking Shit, God Damn these genuinely evil pieces of shit.

I MEAN HOW CAN YOU MAKE A STORMTROOPER BLACK, THAT’S JUST HISTORICALLY INACCURATE. YES IT IS HISTORY BECAUSE IT’S A LONG TIME AGO, DIPSHIT. STORMTROOPERS STAND AROUND AND ARE BAD SHOTS AND KILL UNCLES AND AUNTS THAT SOUNDS PRETTY FUCKING WHITE TO ME OKAY

Psst, @fugitivecourier.bsky.social

FINDS THEM AND KILLS THEM "Finds Them and Kills Them (Osh-Tisch) looked like a man, but wore women's clothing and had the heart of a woman.... she was brave and good." ― Pretty Shield Her strength as a warrior is what earned her the name Osh-Tisch, which translates to “finds them and kills them."

Please help Max gtfo of Texas. She does SO much for the horror community, let's give her our support.

Everything about him makes him seem like the best of dudes.

You know, it’s not just that things were cheaper, but also that prices represented a much smaller chunk of our income. I spent nearly an hour’s wage this morning on coffee and a sandwich bagel. (Worth it, but nonetheless.)

I am firmly convinced that Guy Ritchie, like Wes Anderson, has at this point simply assembled a roster of regular players to make whatever movies he wants, to equally solid - if markedly different - end results.

Ah, the hallowed tradition of offering up sacrifices to cursed creatures.

Funny how the press made it seem like the economy was terrible overall under a democratic, but hasn’t managed to draw the correlation between all of our current economic problems and the current regime.

Friend of mine shared this and I wanted to put it here, as an example of burying the lede because you’re trying to make a point about your cause that’s unsupported by reality.

We can remind kids and their grownups that it’s okay to love funny stories or romance or comics or horror or nonfiction or series or whatever makes you love reading, no matter what some 40-something-year-old man thinks about your favorite books.

Speaking of rad artists, check out this book trailer created by @poulsens.bsky.social ! They do such amazing work on OCs. You should definitely give them money to do yours.

Sensing a growing theme at graduations this year and I am here for it.

I don’t understand people who are against walkable cities. If you don’t walk, how else will you see gems like this?

A-plus breakfast game, Philly.

Same vibes, too.

AI is great at everything you know nothing about. But the moment you get a little bit of knowledge you start seeing how bad it actually is. Which is probably why CEOs love it, they know nothing about everything.

There is a video out there of Tony Hawk trying one last time to do some fancy, off the top of the ramp trick when he hit forty. He manages, eventually, to land it, but also states on camera that it’s the last time he’s doing it.

LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants. His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.

Starting to think I watch different versions of some things because I liked Punisher: One Last Kill, and that is not the consensus I am seeing?

Two white women seriously asking if having affirmative action for decades solved anything. Roll the tape!

The Odyssey was so famous that people knew about it even before the internet

Old MacDonald is dying and the new struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters, e-i-e-i-oh

also: me, every time these lists come out: www.theparisreview.org/blog/columns... (this is a very cool essay series by The Paris Review)

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

On the train to Philly and I love the ease and the room, but also putting my contacts in was a bit of a challenge.

About goddamn time.

This is how I learn, decades later, that they didn’t even give him a name.

Okay but we have a much better ballpark than Philly does.

This is how we defeat AI. Every human should pick the topic they have expertise in, obsess over, or are in some way already quite familiar with and then ask AI about it so they can realize how dumb AI actually is

Whom amongst us hasn’t?

Oh look, it comes with a “Yeah that’s fucking cursed” mode.
