I don't wanna work, I just wanna play the 1996 point-and-click adventure game with FMV and Jeff Goldblum, "Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland" all day www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS34...

Now that I'v got a new phone waiting for me in NJ, the cost of which fully depends on this old phone being in good working order to trade in, I'm constantly finding new and spectacular ways to drop my phone.

Going to physical therapy for chronic back and hip pain is a great way to find out all the various new ways in which you have "a very weak butt"--the medical term, I believe.

We're having a moving sale! We're selling physical items like vintage MFD gifts but we're also selling weird stuff like compliments. If you'd like an overly specific compliment from a MaxFun staff member go to maximumfun.org/movingday and get one for $10. Thanks to Imogen, who bought the first one!

Just thinking about how bonkers it is that medical offices still want stuff faxed. As if calling up a machine on a phone & telling it to just shoot out 30 pages of medical info into the room like that bouncing cards screen when you win solitaire is more secure than just uploading a PDF to a portal.

she's done it again boys! it = buying a mildly special food that she thinks is so special that she just never eats it because it is not a special enough time so then it expires and she has to throw it away

rihanna is smurfette is the new zendaya is meechee

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Tonight I saw a comedy show and ate a piece of pie for dinner, so yes, living in NYC again is basically just like it was ten years ago. Only I need twice as much sleep as I did then. (Also I've become a big fan of And Scene at @caveatnyc.bsky.social and tonight @ifycomedy.com was in it! Hi Ify!)

We have now twice driven past a sign in NJ with a lady silhouette on it that reads "Satin Dolls- Home of the Original Bada Bing!" an incredible landmark that you don't see in any of the travel blogs.

Now here's a sign I can respect. He does what he believes in--no exceptions.

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop. "A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day" Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/t...

Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals. What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research. Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out. zurl.co/YBGNy

‘Tremendous uncertainty’ for cancer research as US officials target mRNA vaccines

Amid Trump cuts and state-level backlash, experts worry that progress in messenger RNA vaccines could stall

I wonder how many times in my life I've said "I love potatoes" out loud while eating potatoes. I think enough that it would make the cut for the molski pull string doll.

I just called working out "muscle practice" and jacob is making fun of me but at least agrees that I am not wrong.

This is the least cool thing I've ever done and I was once in a choir that went on Blue Peter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bleC...

NYC folks, what airline do you like best? I'm a big fan of Alaska and have always flown them, but Newark is less convenient now (and I'm trying to avoid EWR for a while since things there have been a mess there). Do people still like JetBlue? Delta? Should I just go to Newark and do Alaska?

Who do I still know in London? And do you want to hang out with me in early October? I'll be there for a weekend before meeting up with a friend elsewhere. (That is, if people still allow Americans into their country by then hahaha 😭💀🫠)

I very much enjoyed the new dinosaur movie.

I took the mirror off my bathroom cabinet, and now murderers have no idea when to appear behind me.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Cool cool cool cool cool in the first-grade classroom of the future "Everyone Is Welcome Here" is not allowed but "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Wife" is mandatory

It's been two years of employee ownership as of yesterday, so happy belated co-op-iversary to us! Thanks to Project Equity, to Jesse, and to every MaxFun worker-owner past, present, and future -- and thanks as always to our Maximum Fun members, without whom none of this would be anything at all.

Overheard, a kid in the coffee shop I'm working in right now: "Some people like what other people don't. Not everyone has to like the same things." This kid gets it.

I regret to inform you that my newfound proximity to new jersey is directly correlating with a very sharp increase in the dynamic podcast ads I'm getting for tanning salons.

I'm so good at almost immediately identifying what has made the loud noise in the middle of the night and that skill directly correlates to an inability to fall back asleep after. Sorry my nervous system is always READY. I'd have been so good at sensing there was a sabertooth by the cave or whatever

Look if I wanted to constantly get a "storage full" message when trying to take a picture, I wouldn't be using my camera in Zelda TOTK, i'd just use any smartphone I've ever owned.

Right now I'm just repeatedly asking Jacob to take me to Jurassic Park. I just want to go to Jurassic Park!!! Why don't we build it? It is time. You think dinosaurs are gonna mess anything more up in 2025? No way. Bring on the dinos.

Jurassic World is a Christmas movie. (We are rewatching before the new one and just made this discovery. Get outta here Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Christmas dinos!)
