Winter is nearly over and I have yet to buy a newspaper cone of piping hot Necco wafers from a street vendor. What has happened to my life

It’s flattering that Bluesky thinks I’m sexycool enough to want to see accounts where people mostly post about their kinks. They all get a demure “show less like this,” but it is flattering.

IDIOCRACY is a fun movie right up to the “and that’s why we should practice eugenics” bit at the end, which is now all I can think about when it comes up.

Doris Lessing wrote a whole novel where rhetoric is a literal disease that destroys civilizations. Don’t lick the doorknob. Rhetorically speaking.

“What ever happened to whatsherface?” I think, watching my memory collapse in real time.

just a reminder that you already know everything you need to know about the state of the union and unless you will enjoy watching it there's a million other things you can do. you don't have to be "in the loop." the loop is a trash place to be tbh

So how bad is that American DRIFTING CLASSROOM live action movie from the 90s? I know it can’t possibly be good.

Watching these ridiculous and camp closing ceremonies and just realized the LA opening and closing ones are going to somehow be about how there’s nothing more brave than making movies and they’ll be deadly serious and unnnnnnngh

I get we needed a correction after micro blading got out of control, but I really hope “literally no eyebrows” has a very short stay and limited reach.

I miss Ruth Mora’s art, and I say this as one of the people who never received something I ordered from her. I still genuinely don’t think her intent was to scam people.

I wish I could find that screencap of 16 year old Alysa Liu sitting in the stands at the 22 Olympics, eating fries, and having the time of her life. It was the total opposite of what a female skater was “supposed” to be, and there’s a direct line from then to now.

Smart glasses should absolutely make you a social pariah. Nothing has changed since the Google Glass fiasco to make them more welcome.

I KNOW my librarians won’t judge, but I’m still going to have to summon up some courage to put a hold on Gina Gershon’s new memoir.

No idea what her actual plans are, but “Atelier Madison Chock” has a certain ring to it

Saw a post about how actually grim the plot of DIRTY DANCING is, and it still has nothing on GIGI, a smash hit musical about grooming that includes a jaunty song called “Thank Heaven for Little Girls.”

So this was me not learning my lesson, going back on Twitter, and immediately falling for something that was either propaganda, trolling, or both. Maybe I’ll learn my lesson the 10,000th time and stop dipping back into that pit.

Alysa Liu, walking through a corridor with two IOC officials: "Where are we going, by the way?" Official: "Would you like to go get a medal?"

Things you can tell Alysa Liu, ranked: 1. Not a goddamn thing

we are all winners because now we get to watch the "alysa liu kicks ass" media cycle

What a fantastic result! What a good podium! I’m taking like a child because I have no words!!

For the people talking about Petrosian’s next Olympics…Do we tell em now? Or is that kicking someone when they’re down?

Seriously, isn’t this how BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW starts?

“What’s the charge? Enjoying a succulent Italian landscape?” www.bbc.com/news/article...

I love that this is clearly a genuine response, and a brilliant one. Our Olympians are really bringing it when it comes to media this year

Speaking as a guy with bad hair: Alex Karp is a disgrace to our people.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

If you don’t promise to sew your mouth to the asshole of the human centipede that is the DNC you are a wrecker

I'd rather eat glass.

Got to do this tonight with poor Amber.

I’ve got this wild idea that Alysa Liu would be an incredible poker player, and I want Jennifer Tilly to take her on as a protege. She is so good at not overplaying her hand, and it’s won her SO much, in terms of medals and regard. She’d be a natural!

The great thing about fandoms is they eventually teach you to avoid the fandom of the next thing you like.

(looking at a video of a robot that is carefully transported and maintained by dozens of guys perform a task that is programmed by dozens of different guys and it still sometimes falls down) hmm wow, is humanity cooked.......

Oh man: seeing Riku and Ryuichi have that skate after yesterday…that’s some gooooood Olympics.

Seeing Ryuchi Kihara have a bad day is like watching a puppy get kicked. I do not care for it.

Given that Israel has already been caught breaking the promotional rules AGAIN and the EBU has done nothing I’m guessing this tour fell victim to everyone being fully fed the hell up with shenanigans. I certainly have no plans to watch this year’s ESC at this point.

Since chaos has been the theme of this round of Olympic figure skating, here’s my wild guess at the women’s podium: G- Niina Petrokina S- Ami Nakai B- Isabeau Levito Kaori 4th, Alysa 5th, Mone 11th or lower And at least one shocker who doesn’t go through to the free skate, hopefully Petrosian

I’m going to assume Gummennik being in the Olympic Gala is the setup for some kind of dramatic defection drama like we used to get back in the 80s. The alternative is too depressing.

Congrats to Cenk Uygur for getting the Silver medal for crashing out today

All these tributes to Denis Ten that can’t help but come up tonight are so bittersweet and so welcome

Also: a newly resilient Kevin Aymoz was really something to see

Oh my god: I love Shaidorov and hated how hard his season has been. What a SPECTACULAR result!!

“Used to”

Starting to run into sites that don’t work in Firefox, like it’s 1998 again.

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Why the hell is most of the men’s short venue feed missing from Peacock? Can I blame Johnny and Tara’s agents? Because I feel like I’m being forced to listen to those chucklefucks and the IOC has made damn sure I can’t VPN into the world YouTube feed.

It is going to be so funny when CHUDs try to latch on to Isabeau as “the normal one” only to find out she’s as weird as Alysa and Amber, just in a quieter way.

Moon City is clearly phase one of Elon’s plan to make The Moon is a Harsh Mistress happen in the real world. That’s pathetic enough that I feel a little bad for him now.

I can’t believe @cadenceweapon.bsky.social ‘s first album is 20 years old. Or maybe I can: “Black Hand” is a sinister anthem that could soundtrack any one of the last 20 years. And it rhymes “pillow” and “Gavrillo” too. youtu.be/rdgu842TvqQ?...
