With my finger on the pulse of current events, I ask, how do you say “hodl” in Korean

This is what insomnia gets you. Poasting a banger like CHAI HULUD at 1am

Really looking forward to the DUNE 3 Dunkin Donuts DUNKIN IDAHO promotion featuring classics like CHAI HULUD and Cronutz Haderach

I think that in the hypothetical using a time machine to kill baby hitler, I would instead aim mine at whatever fucking fish creature first crawled from the ooze whose genetic material would some day birth the fucking monster that invented the leaf blower.

In 1994, my sister wasn’t a huge trek fan like me, but she LOVED Patrick Stewart. So for Christmas I convinced our mom to get us tickets to see him perform his one-man Christmas Carol. We took the train into NYC, saw the show, met him outside the stage door in the freezing cold. Unforgettable night.

There’s a squadron of #teen girls in dunks at my usual afternoon break time, having the fucken time of their lives, very loudly, and some punk ass old lady tried to enlist me in being mad about it and I was like fuck no, they rule. Let them have fun, they’re off from school today. It’s a party.

Bank of America Email: Hey, ai is dangerous and you shouldn’t let any acting on your behalf have access to your online accounts. Me: okay, how do I disable your ai assistant Erica and cut off its access to my online accounts. BofA: lol u can’t, obviously, IDIOT

Committing to the bit by mispronouncing Israel directly to Jonathan Greenblatt’s face, and then having the ADL thank him for doing it

JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

My local republican party just sent me a text about the election, (I’m a registered democrat) and so I asked them why they continue to support a child rapist, and let them know lol jk, I know the reason

The Atlantic figured it out?! The Atlantic?!

Trump's anti-Muslim remarks about Abdul El-Sayed at a recent rally in Michigan are astonishing—even by recent standards, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. In The Atlantic Daily, he explores the damage of the president's bigotry:

Chris Smith (R NJ-4) has held his seat since 1980. NJ-4 and NJ-6 (Frank Pallone D) were gerrymandered to be a solid R and solid D seat so neither of those guys would really ever have to campaign. This year, smith put up blue yard signs. His opponent, Rachel Peace, put up trans flag colored signs.

Say what you will about cheesecake factory, —some of my favorite flavors are too much salt, too much sugar, “light brown” and 3800 calories— the decor is absolutely bonkers. For almost 50 years they’ve looked like you asked a toddler what ancient egypt would look like if it was delicious.

Sad news today about Walter Koenig. His work on Babylon 5 as the psi cop Bester is maybe of of the best written and performed villains in scifi. In all of his appearances, his goals are engineered such that he loses to the home team every time while still also achieving his objectives.

I love @blumineck.bsky.social, and he remains right about everything. Here he is talking about some screen archery I also love, specifically Robin Hood (2018), and Hawkeye (2021). I had no idea Taron Eggs really trained for the archery, I figured it was more Katniss/Avengers cgi arrows. Amazing.

Archery in Film/TV that I actually like!

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

I mean, they had to use AI to make this because the original image from the movie is the hands of a black guy and that would turn off too many of their boosters

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

Golf sucks, and the entire concept of a huge green park where only old rich white men are allowed to hang out is an abomination unto god, BUT I just saw an old man’s three-wheeled golf bag handcart drive across the green to where his ball landed on its own. And that tech is interesting and useful.

Has a Silicon Valley idiot invented a childcare startup called ISENFORD yet, where you can send your precious only child and heir to your kingdom

This morning I had to see a substack guy reposted into my stream who says when musk threatens congress and says he’s going to go after the ones pulling the strings, he means “the voters”. Fucking shit man are you serious. The guy that loves hitler salutes using an antisemitic trope means voters? Ok

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is pretty close to being a good movie, and The Wolverine is so close but not quite, but after almost getting there with The Wolverine, James Mangold dials it in for LOGAN which I think is one of Hugh Jackman’s best performances

I was walking two dogs from different houses on the same street together at the neighborhood park today and we met a new puppy from around the corner and he was a perfect good boy, they all immediately decided they were best friends and he decided I was also his best friend.

For as long as I’ve known about him, Brad Lander has been on the front line absolutely daring fascists to kill him. I may not get to vote for him, but I’m glad this guy is going to be one of my congressmen.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

I had such a fucking miserable experience at Wendy’s tonight that I deleted the fucking app and I’ll die without ever eating another spicy chicken nugget. The shift manager leaned out the drive through window and shouted at me all the way across the fucking parking lot, it was incredible.

We deserve to live in a world where the Ellisons canceling Stephen Colbert’s lord of the rings movie motivates him to run for president to destroy Skydance and salt the fucking earth

One of my older clients had a beautiful 4 bedroom house on a half acre lot at the end of a cul de sac, and when she told me she was moving into a retirement place, I was like DO NOT GET A REVERSE MORTGAGE!!!! and she goes lol, no, we’re selling, we have a good financial guy who already warned us.

Only a writer for the Atlantic could possibly be upset that his mom left him a $1.7mil inheritance and a home.

The third piece I’ve read in as many days “concerned” that Americans are ”sitting on capital” that needs to be “freed up”. www.theatlantic.com/economy/2026...

This article is a fascinating look into what the american right wing hopes to achieve with the SAVE act. 130,000,000 removed from the voting rolls, causing upset electoral wins in opposition strongholds, allowed to happen by a compromised Supreme Court working for the interest of the strongman

For Time Magazine , wrote about the story of the protests that have convulsed India this week: time.com/article/2026...

Three and a half days is an incredible amount of time to work at the White House especially when you have all this administration qualifications for the job! A blonde (store bought is fine) woman who lies about everything all the time, even stuff that’s VERY EASY to verify?? How fucked are they?

There are two things about my new car that I find incredibly annoying. Every time I turn it on, it distracts me to touch a button on the screen to pledge I won’t drive distracted. And if I turn the car off with something in the back seat it says HEY YOU DUMB IDIOT YOU LEFT SOME SHIT IN THE BACK SEAT

There’s an article about how six flags magic mountain just installed a ton of solar panels over its parking lot, and the one here in New Jersey seems to have done it too, although not over the lot that’s closest to the main park entrance.
