Great pools, beautiful pools

I tried to read (but only skimmed) the Current Affairs piece that's setting everyone off and what I think is a bummer is that there *is* some commentary worth making on what the PLUR messaging of the Israeli EDM scene means within the context of apartheid, occupation, and genocide, but the writer...

As someone who was in late teens/early twenties when the US began the “war on terror”… yes.

i do think you could make a weird metaphysical argument for the idea that the pop culture of certain countries is informed by their youth's desire to sublimate and not think about the evil things the country does but the thing is... this is kind of normal

What is the polling miss in Michigan I keep seeing people reference

Back in the 1940s they hadn’t discovered parenting yet

Parents in the late 1940s separated two twin girls when they divorced? Yeah okay people were fucked up back then, I get it. Parents in the 1980s did this?? HELLO POLICE

I just saw an IG about how the entire instigating incident that sets up The Parent Trap is deeply fucked up and honestly this is why they shouldn’t have rebooted it

I feel like if you’re drinking a white chocolate mint chip matcha you might need to consider that you don’t like matcha

Still absolutely insane to me that Robby Hoffman could “joke” about bi men “bringing home AIDS” and still have a career

Yes to ripping challah, no to ripping bagels

Every time I see people go nuts over a person going on a blocking spree I feel even more justified in my “mute first” strategy

ME: Don't do discourse don't do discourse don't do discourse ME: Well this Ken Jennings thing is a mess isn't it

“Unlike KOSA and many of the other age verification laws that have spread across the country, the SCREEN Act does not have bipartisan support. It’s the latest in Lee’s repeated attempts to criminalize content he and his co-sponsors personally consider immoral.”

The SCREEN Act is a Christian Nationalist Nightmare

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the arc...

Okay so maybe the Jimmy Neutron thing was just a similar "here is a picture from a cartoon we've never seen, doesn't it look like a nice white family"

Bragging about missing the message of a movie for seven-year-olds

BTW "is fucked up and inconsistent" is not the same as "is the hardest to learn." There are languages that have phonemes that are very difficult to pick up — sometimes even difficult to *hear* — if you didn't grow up with them, that can make a language hard to learn even if it's consistent.

Is there any language more fucked up that English when it comes to lack of consistent pronunciation and grammar?

When I first heard this song my appreciation for it was rooted in the fact that it sounded like what you would get if you asked a robot to write a pop song. Feels appropriate that it's gone platinum in the age of LLMs writing pop songs.

I must inform you that Rebecca Black’s “Friday” just went platinum, according to the RIAA. www.riaa.com/gold-platinu...

Feels extremely obvious that Pedro Pascal is not heterosexual and even if he is he's a passionate ally so I do not get why people are obsessed with finding out who he is dating

What was the last really good episode of Game of Thrones? Was it The Winds Of Winter (S6E10)?

Have realized this past week that my own personal trauma reaction to COVID is that I don't want to talk about COVID

How do I explain this resume gap? Well, you see, that's when Jesus was carrying me.

IDK I think my neighbor’s dog being too loud should be national news

As a writer I try to remember that the fact that something annoys me personally does not necessarily make that thing important enough to write about

The box I normally store my lox in Had its lock spinned and its stocks in- Vaded by a sock-shinned dachshund (Loud and pox-thin, like a coxswain). (@luxalptraum.com doesn’t allow quotes so my dumb quatrain gets a screenshot sorry)

Tell ya what I want as a democratic litmus test Bodily autonomy

I had this revelation late one night and it is the greatest thing I have ever known

Dachshund rhymes with coxswain

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

I do think that it’s really funny that the reason Jadzia Dax looks nothing like Odan is because someone was like, “Terry doesn’t look hot enough in the Trill makeup, let’s make her look like the sex worker alien instead”

Every time I wear my Jadzia Dax “Old Man” shirt I am reminded how few people have watched DS9
