Okay does anyone else ever see these AI generated reels on FB/IG where a person is trying to escape from pursuers and they get away by hiding in a secret bunker? The range of scenario permutations is preposterous, and most of them are just bonkers. It’s like a car wreck, I can’t look away.

"i hate a popular thing" is mostly boring sooooo instead tell me the piece of media you love despite everyone else hating it me? i have many, but the two that spring to mind are Milla Jovovich film Ultraviolet which i own twice accidentally, PS3 game NeverDead, and Super Mario Bros. (film, 1993)

Over @aquariumdrunkard.com I wrote up this beguilingly strange piece of mid-70s Dutch bedroom prog. Latin rhythms, eastern instruments, jazz flute blowouts and a janky, makeshift drum machine. This could be the private press jam you've been looking for.

Wild Havana :: Wild Havana (1977) aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/08/11/w... Drawing on kraut, prog, jazz-funk and the ethnic rock experiments of Embryo and Popul Vuh, Johan Smit and some of his friends put together one of the more weirdly compelling artifacts of the private press era...

Oh, is that me on a flyer with Bryan Stevenson? I didn't notice.💅 (For real though, please check out this conference on what it will take to end Alabama's prison crisis. I'll be talking #finesandfees, and other people will talk about stuff that's actually interesting!)

This means we can stop engaging with the bad faith premise that the solution requires suggesting a replacement book series. Kids who are readers already know about the other series and devour them. Adults who are obsessed with Harry Potter are making a choice.
