i'm sick of the liars and the bull shit you see on social media. taco bell is NOT the same 4 ingredients wrapped in different shapes. they actually innovate the menu a lot. but you won't see them say that on the fake fucking news

THE CHICAGO SKY FINALLY PULL OUT THE WIN IN A CLOSE GAME Sydney Taylor with the dagger, because of course it had to be her; she’s been such a breath of offensive fresh air for this team

I’ll pick a Leia moment for this, specifically the moment in Episode IX where we found out she began her own Jedi training. Such an exciting new door to open for her story, and I LOVE the design of her lightsaber hilt.

Not enough people know this, but the ideal Saturday night consists of a Rick Steves marathon on your local PBS station’s tertiary channel before swapping the screen over to an important soccer slate (Hell is Real babyyyyy)

We visited the Vonnegut Museum and Library on July 4, just before I was already planning on reading Slapstick next, and the typewriter they have on display there is believed to be the one KV wrote it on! Pretty cool timing (and a neat little museum).

Blue typewriter with a pair of glasses resting atop it inside a glass case. The placard on the case reads:

Vonnegut Typewriter
One of our most treasured artifacts from Kurt Vonnegut is this Smith Corona typewriter that he used in the 70's. It is believed that he typed his novel Slapstick on this typewriter. It is on loan to us from the Vonnegut family.

Slapstick A weird sort of fictional autobiography peppered with and introduced by Vonnegut’s own autobiographical musings, I can see why this one has a panned reception—but it worked for me. I’d vote for a platform like Lonesome No More!

if we're going to live in a new gilded age we may as well have a pop culture revival. biking everywhere. reading decadent fiction. self-improvement. mysticism. sitting around in parlors playing games. reacting to fast fashion and AI by taking up fiber arts and printmaking. gardening.

This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

I’ve lived in Indianapolis for a whole year as of this weekend and the only good things it has offered my personal life are: - access to IMAX 70mm films - currently avoiding the worst of the air quality issues (as opposed to my beloved Chicago and Columbus, who are both getting smoked out)
