Have you ever dry swallowed your Prozac then burped it up? It’s worse than the kick in the face you get when you snort ecstasy

Anti-editing. Gonna drive me out of business. Luckily, while I’m great at correcting other people’s typos, I’m even better at making my own

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

I don’t know how this happened, but I assume the cat was involved

Jason Mantzoukas, the only Greek actor, should have played every role in The Odyssey

Serious question for New Yorkers: How is it that you adopted the worst Jay-Z song as your official anthem?

Messi about to go back in time and drown that baby

I don’t want to pull for England, but have you seen Djed Spence?

Just thinking about the white family I knew in elementary school who adopted a white kid and (re)named him Kobe.

How do we feel about Neymar again?

My god I’m going to lose my mind during Mexico vs England. Mexico, you cannot lose 🇲🇽

The great thing about the World Cup is that every game I watch, I have a new favorite team. I’m now a Congo fan

WHO asked for this AI image of Octavio Paz? I have to know who the audience for this is

I’m so emotionally invested in Cabo Verde’s continuing success. Give them the World Cup already

No one likes it when I post about sports. I don’t even like it when I post about sports. And yet, I will continue to post about sports.

Got my copy of Little Wolf in the Storm by @adikgraves.bsky.social today! I had the pleasure of beta reading and helping to edit this one, so I can safely say you should rush out to buy it rn! www.amazon.com/Little-Wolf-...

Justice for Croatia

Just heard an announcer say that France might be “too bad to be true,” so maybe the World Cup is worth watching after all

I’m going to be looking for an artist for some book illustrations soon. Anyone have any recommendations? Happy to pay money or trade for editing

We as a society would solve a lot of problems if we stopped following trends that originate in Utah. What has Mormonism given us but ugly leggings, expensive cups, and bad cookies? It’s a symptom of a sick culture that we participate in this delusion

New idea for a movie: instead of Like Mike it’s Like Ike and the ghost of Ike Eisenhower teaches a young boy how to play basketball

A kernel of quinoa just fell out of my beard

Does anyone speak Italian here?? What offensive thing did I say to the language-learning AI? Have I unknowingly sexually harassed the AI cameriere (or is it just wrong again like it’s wrong about everything)?

My dad sent me this message about Will Anderson's contract extension to my work email. It is a matter of professional import that I know how much my boy is getting paid ASAP.
