the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Holy shit.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

this is why i’m not interested in “Bibi told Trump to do this war so it’s Bibi’s fault.” Bibi had told every president since Clinton to bomb Iran. It’s the President’s job to know when a foreign leader is being a bloodthirsty idiot and NOT LISTEN TO THAT GUY. This war is because of Trump.

Mamdani's channeling of Indian retail politics upending the entire US political framework is hilarious to watch, this is literally what you always do in desi politics, hug the person who called you names to show you're a saint and he's a piece of shit that voters should look down on- and it works

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

What is Mitch McConnell up to? Why do all the people who claimed to have had extended conversations with him after he was CPR-ed and hospitalized silent? Where are the journalists who would be digging hard if this were a vanished Democratic Senator? Why is this story as dead as he may be?

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

This is your periodic reminder that Fox News once had to pay $788 billion for lying to its viewers.

The geometry of McClain’s photo is so precise, so elaborate, that its damage is easy to miss. (From: "An American City, With Troops on Its Streets." Matt McClain for The Atlantic.)

Rarely does one get so perfect a chance and I wasn’t gonna let my boy miss it

Gerth: My too-early 'tribute' to Mitch McConnell | Opinion

The reaction to Sen. Lindsey Graham's death tells us we shouldn't speak ill of the dead. So I'll tell you what I think about Sen. Mitch McConnell now.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

Lindsay Graham and I often disagreed on whether you should overturn Democratic elections, starve the hungry, bomb anyone and bomb everyone dark, but nevertheless I hope his loved ones stay off the internet and the rest of you have some fun.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
