As we head into Rosh Hashanah, a very important point of order from Canadian Senate Hansard (1984) :p

iOS 26: Skeuomorphism, but somehow shoddier

mulder: ancient peoples knew there were little folk all around them. brownies were helpful household spirits, redcaps were malevolent household spirit. scully: we can't tell skinner that an elf in a red hat has been stealing pizzas.

“ill see you in valhalla” is not something i would ever say in memory of a friend. its something i would say to a $28 Hamburger

Double features are super fun and I’m toying with doing a television series “double feature” like serial viewing juxtaposing “The Sandbaggers” with “Slow Horses”

There's vomit on his sweater already, Chen’s spaghetti

THEY DEFORMED ME, COOP. REDUCED ME DOWN TO ONLY MY MOST RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERISTICS. I’M A CUTESY SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF. THE BOYS AT QUANTICO ARE CALLING ME A “CHEE-BEE.” I’M SEVEN CENTIMETERS TALL, COOP. 150 GRAMS OF VINYL PLASTIC.

Got a soup going (Mulligatawny soup per this recipe: www.makebetterfood.com/recipes/soup... )

When your soup gets schlouped silly style

KID WHO DID NOT GET INVITED TO TED'S AWESOME LAZER TAG BIRTHDAY PARTY: i fear that even the most somber of my classmates are now infected with what I'm calling "Ted's Partyism"

It’s all housing and transit and land use part a billion

Underworld is and always has been so good

Look at these dudes frolicking

Tan Dun’s “Northwest Suite” is pretty sick (performed by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra)

Getting arrested on terror charges by an ICE agent browner than me for a bluesky post where I described John Brown as having gone “Beast Mode” and “Turned His Swag On” at Harper’s Ferry.

A lot of reasons to read this @davidjroth.bsky.social piece. Among them is his scarily accurate Stephen Miller-Cobra Commander comp. defector.com/the-united-s...

SEXY BEAST. A one pager I made about one of my favorite movies.

I composed this artwork at age six It's only grown more relevant with time

My kid was telling me about Nightcore, I was telling him about Night Court, we both wondered if someone had done it. Someone did. (My kid: “this is basically polka!”)

Every trans person who insists on their own existence presents a thousand new possibilities for how to be a person. And every trans woman presents a thousand more possibilities for how to be a woman. We're fools if we pass up this chance to create more possibilities for everyone.

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my Super Idiot Drink

james cameron walks up to whiteboard with TOEJAM and EARL written on it. he erases the "and" and writes Vs.

Geriatric Millennial getting a 💯 emoji response to a Teams message from his Zoomer colleague? It’s more likely than you think.

Seeing a Tesla Model 3 with a Purple Heart vanity plate reading “RONIN” is the most Raytheon Acres thing I’ve seen in a while

They grew old together it’s beautiful

[Suddenly and for no apparent reason remembering the time three years ago I confused De La Soul with A Tribe Called Quest in casual conversation with an acquaintance] “Damn…”

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

ADAM CURTIS: fuck, shit. superhypernormalization? no thats no good

my only real take on this is that it costs you ~$0 as a white guy to not do this within reason. i look at my own posts and i see someone who is furious, demanding action from the leaders who are supposed to be the opposition. this is taken as hysterical depression for people who are comfortable.

Happy to report that Sheryl Crow has still got “IT”!

My 2yo tried fish sticks before she ever tried chicken nuggets, so she calls chicken nuggets “chicken fish sticks.” Today this food product entered our home and does anyone have contact info for Baudrillard

john woo with a very Against The Rules edit here that works insanely well

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

My kid telling me she wants to sit in this “training” in Roblox to essentially pretend to be a barista at a Boba shop. On the one hand, I immediately told her “please be sure it’s not a cult recruitment” but also very achingly thought to myself “the kids DO yearn for the mines, I suppose.”

Kill recreational nihilism — wherever it comes from, whatever ideological mask it happens to be wearing. Do not engage in it. Do not indulge it. It makes you weak and it makes you stupid. If you haven't found meaning in something, don't make the void you have chosen everyone else's problem.

(touching liner notes of album released in january 2022) something happened here...

An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

I used to worry about my kid becoming alienated by becoming terminally online but long-ago I realized that the real work is cultivating in him just enough terminally online to be able to see things for how they are
