I’m thrilled to be married, because my best idea of a pickup line is “Don’t I know you from the cinematographer’s party?” and it’s Just Not Relevant.

I bought this and spent two minutes playing solo and I will not touch it again until the next pandemic, it is Worth It. I am a Prepper.

In real life I consider myself a pretty smart, prudent person--but I am a disaster in Big Walk, running off from the group and losing my items and constantly forgetting where we are. But it's these moments--and the fact that you aren't in them alone-- that have made the game fun so far.

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.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

if elected president, i will dissolve the Department of the Navy and hand their funding, and nuclear fleet over to the Internet Archive. They'll know what to do.

i know everyone has been dying for my take on emily wilson's review of nolan's odyssey and so here it is. it should be an embarrassment to whoever edited it. when a writer files copy like that, you should know how controversial it will be and go above and beyond to help them shore up their take.

I’m actually still hung up on Emily Wilson calling Himesh Patel’s Eurylochus ”the black best friend”

it seems like whenever i go on bluesky all i see is a bunch of people talking to each other and posting about stuff

the fun thing and problem with Rumors is that it proves you can, in fact, make art good enough to completely justify your life as a messy drug-addled maniac

The govt demands you believe the US completely destroyed Iran's nuclear program last year AND that the US must fight a war this year to stop Iran's nuclear program. Also, the US totally eliminated Iran's military capabilities AND Iran is unacceptably using its military capabilities. Doublethink.

and that their entire military was destroyed in June 2025. and then again in March 2026. then again in May. June. this week. even Wilson would've blushed at this stuff.

It is a funny situation to be in when you’re like “I wish world leaders could hit the same level of integrity as the mayor of New York City”

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

does anyone know of a "forest fires explainer" video for very young children? like from a vaguely waldorf-y angle, just very gentle images of small flames, all the animals find safe hiding places, beautiful animation of stratified seeds growing from scorched earth? "it's scary but nature will be ok"

Cursing myself for waiting so long to buy an impact driver. If you’ve been using a drill driver solo, this is your sign to add an impact driver. I will never forgive myself for these years of misery.

credit where credit is due, getting your cult addicted to tallow before importing screwworms is a good bit

Randy knows that he’s got a new life. Now he never wants to leave the jungle. Doug Shaftoe says something about the Battle of Manila and of how he saw his father for the first time in the wreckage of the Church of San Agustin, and how his father carried him up and down the stairway.

People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.

Well this post went a bit wild while I was off gardening over the bank holiday Sunday and here's the link for your enjoyment, esp for people unfamiliar with The Observer (or alternatively, in an international context, which Observer) and not sure where to look: observer.co.uk/culture/inte...
