This was fun to write (and use @thejerrybennett.com’s human-drawn art for the background imagery).

After 34 years I have discovered “Tennessee” in the song “Tennessee” by Arrested Development is an uncleared sample from “Alphabet St.” by Prince.
I get why courting a right-wing customer base seems appealing, they're bad with money and really fucking stupid
there goes a big, brave brick of meat

I just ordered my copy despite being livid at Elliott’s hair’s continued refusal to betray even the slightest hint of silver.
Elliot Blake@elliotblake.bsky.social · last wk.Copies of my #scifiromance book INTO THE GREAT arrived today! So in the grand tradition of social media, I made an #unboxing video. Where I say “Instagram,” just pretend I’m saying “Bluesky.” Pre-order at lilfac.com/shop/ws-/pro...
Recreating the SDCC experience at home by going to Costco on a Saturday.
It’s been 12 years since my last SDCC and I’d forgotten about all the soul-deadening crap the place is stuffed with. A.I. slop is surely manna from heaven for these low-rent hacks.
Effin' Birds@effinbirds.com · 2w agoSo much for SDCC’s anti-AI policies — I’ve been complaining to show management about this booth for three days.
23 years of parenting culminated last night in my son asking me to listen to his copy of R.E.M.‘s ‘Murmur’ on vinyl with him.
Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Meanwhile, Zohran is talking policy while playing MarioKart. This is the juice that keeps me sane in 2026.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 4w agoDiniece and I are racing to make buses fast and reliable, so we talked about how we're cutting bus commutes by 6 minutes while racing in MarioKart.
Just thinking about how much better off we’d be if we got rid of ALL the crackers.

Waking up to good bad news is a subtle thing you appreciate more as you grow older

More people need to be taking about this deliciously fucked up murder show.
Maybe mitch McConnell is pregnant so they're keeping him alive to let the fetus grow
The McConnell family is getting in some practice pulling plugs.
In gremlins 2 when a panicked Pheobe Cates pulls the fire alarm, the fire alarm pontificates “Fire! The untamed element, oldest of man’s mysteries, giver of warmth [etc]” anyway that’s what it’s like when you google something now.
A client once said an actress on a radio spot sounded “too fat.”
S R Jones @aegisimmemorial.bsky.social · last mo.If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
Celebrating America today is like celebrating Father's Day after being beaten with a belt.
