I love this season but I’m so sick of holiday music. So here are some albums that feel cozy, warm, and wintery to me without any of that department store jingle jangle.

Girl who needs to be held

Really not enjoying the combination of “nobody has a job” and “everything is expensive now”

"the mouse trap sucks but the cheese in it is some real premium stuff" --people who stan youtubers, every day on gOD's green earth

giving godzilla internal genitalia was a coward's move

My first piece for the Guardian went up today! (Yes banana coffee is as good as it sounds.)

i didn’t know the circus was open today

Even the photography speaks to that weird fashy nostalgia. The shallow, grainy depth of field in what could easily be a park or backyard, the slightly warm color grading. Compare to the way the editor of British Vogue (Chioma Nnadi) was styled and shot in 2024.

I hate this culture shift so hard, part: a lot.

i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this

“What if democrats responded meaningfully in this moment” What if the world was made of pudding

Conservatives getting mad that del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN is too critical of the doctor and too sympathetic to the monster is the kind of shit that doesn't even play as a joke. It's too stupid to laugh at.

yes it is shut da fuck up

Are You There ChatGPT it’s Me, Margaret’s Mom Why Did You Tell Her to Eat Rat Poison She Was Just On Her Period

me: I know society has made progress in the last 50 years but it just feels like we’re sliding backwards and no one cares my buddy, the gourmand whaler: the tenderest meat surrounds the blowhole

Friend of mine is increasingly concerned that a girl she’s been seeing is using AI to generate flirty things to say to her. We live in the worst possible timeline

Dirty, lousy tramp representation 🙌

that’s right, even if you’re cis you have to pitch in

universe loading the bases for a walkoff grand slam

Be quiet my show is on

tying my hair back not to suck dick but rather to eat an entire rack of lloyd's ribs

The sexy Watto meme is proof that gen AI is dumb. First, it’s inherently funnier that a real artists took the time to draw sexy Watto. Second, gen AI could never come up with anything so haunting or execute it in such unhinged ways.

Almost like recusal being voluntary is a bad idea

Thought I’d be up for a pax afterparty or two tonight but my body has other plans. Namely sleep.

I mean I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious

carrying two laptops - one for work one for side work - is the modern equivalent of being a Witcher

Any outlets wanna pay me to go to this? Please?

i would die for girl smell

the horrors persist and so do my deadlines

I will say the idea that it *could* happen is making me absolutely feral tonight

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

I know it won’t fix anything, but at least it’ll feel really good for a bit.

a lot of wishcasting tonight on the skyline why don't we try a collective luck magic experiment? everybody watch Iannucci's THE DEATH OF STALIN. All together now.

“girl dinner,” i whisper as i finish the block of cream cheese with nothing but a spoon

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!” My Bluesky echo chamber:

franz ferdinand doesn’t get enough credit for rhyming dancefloor with dancewhore tbh

oh

gently laying her penis in a hotdog bun then looking back and forth from it to her like i've done something brilliant

Unbelievably good shit. Like unbeatable.

Every time I write a pitch I feel like I’ve never written a pitch before

I have initial confirmation of a CDC walkout happening - will be looking for news coverage & more details.

Alien: Earth does a lot of things I love, it’s stylish, it’s dripping with atmosphere, it gets weird in some fun ways. (I would love for Timothy Olyphant’s Kirsh to be my disappointed android dad.) But it seems either completely unaware of its best ideas, or afraid to engage them.

Everyone’s a big tough freelancer until there’s an internet outage on a workday 😔

The only reason sex work, porn, and "degenerate" art is a problem in leftist spaces is if you place a moral value on sexuality. I wonder where that could have come from 🙃

it's so hilarious that elon was the most hysterical AI doomer alarmist until he had the cash to start a chatbot company, upon which he immediately fell in love with a probabilistic waifu www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Tom Clancy’s Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
