i hate decluttering my place because it’s just gonna collect clutter anyhow plus when it’s my time to go then it immediately becomes someone else’s problem

inside every gay man there are two halloween costumes

hearing the oscars and grammys described as “gringo awards” really is the spiritual child of bong joon-ho’s “very local” comment 😭 youtu.be/y5SC_sCQEr8

had brazilian polenta com cupim desfiado (beef brisket with cheese on top of polenta) and it was comforting that i’m already mentally slotting in eating this often during winter

Now that I am in my 40s I know Sex and the City was a lie because Samantha never, ever cancelled from her digestive system acting up or her neck being fucked from sleeping the wrong way. Those bitches were LYING to you all

i’m not sure which films cathy means here. sure, PAST LIVES. but, MINARI? EEAAO? DIDI? TURNING RED? JOY RIDE? neither FIRE ISLAND nor WEDDING BANQUET were immigrant trauma stories

a TÁR / MADDIE’S SECRET double bill would be fascinating, because they’re not an obvious pairing but they feel spiritually related to me

i am honestly a bit astonished at how reregulating the warmth and ritual of playing vinyls has been mac just sounds so good this way

i’m puzzled why ford, carney, and other elected officials are working so hard to convince people datacentres are good (“people are misinformed” etc.), compared to when they usually just ram things through without a care for how the public responds

The media wouldn't be making up lies about her if they weren't afraid of her.

Insane that AOC is being quoted as saying "Woke 1 was crazy" when this is what she actually said. youtu.be/SFwAnMLBSOw?...

ok emily hampshire in s2 gets me interested. i’m still weary of how the show treats people of asian descent but at least it’ll still be an entertaining queer romp

the toronto subway system is subpar but the silver lining is we get a 2 hour transfer window so when things break down at least you can go grab soup noodles while you wait out the delay 😅

like, why am i following the japan 2 year government bond yield rate? how come i am tracking distillate inventories? i hate this era, trying to discern how far we are from a system collapse

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym. It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.

shocker!! the potentially asian/latino/indigenous person is one of my types?? nooooo way lolololol also, you have a one-in-five shot with me but if you tend to look like you’d be featured by queerty i’ll probably decline

i think we are in the process of seeing sites like this and twitter die out because if the prediction of non-human web traffic swamping human traffic soon comes trues every and any post will just get swarmed by bot replies, and noise will so outweigh signal eventually everyone will just leave

if you make it a repeated practice to do things to remind people they’re on your mind and in your heart, it’s really hard to go wrong

puerto rico is in deep water crisis, and it’s only the indie artists speaking up—probably because they’re the ones actually affected by it, sigh

I wrote for @xtramagazine.com about the fantastic CATS: JELLICLE BALL—my favourite thing I’ve seen this year—and how its early closure is a sad, but urgent reminder of the ephemerality of queer and trans joy, especially racialized queer and trans joy xtramagazine.com/culture/cats...

winnipeg is really delivering as a food city. this pickerel fish and chips had the perfect amount of batter, was moist and firm inside, and i got 2 pieces, fries, and a bowl of seafood chowder for $23 cad all in

“Life has taught me that when something is this glorious, this bursting with queer and trans joy—especially racialized queer and trans joy—it will be ephemeral. You have to catch it if you can.” xtramagazine.com/culture/cats...

‘Cats: The Jellicle Ball’ deserved better | Xtra Magazine

While way too short, the ballroom-inspired adaptation’s run has been a much-needed beacon for the queer community

a few years from now we’ll read about how the taco trade at first kept him in line as he prioritized the stock market over anything, but as it normalized and became the expectation the euphoria kept the market at all time highs and buffered him into catastrophic mistakes globally

if the democrats weren’t so spineless and paid for, they’d run on SPEND IT HERE to harness all this voter anger

it seems like we’re playing this out until Anthropic and OpenAI go public, as there’s seemingly nothing that will stop this market euphoria unless bond yields rocket to historic highs sooner rather than later

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

ok learning that vinyls are mixed differently is fascinating because LA MuDANZA is absolutely thrilling for me now in a way it didn’t grab me digitally—like every smack of the drum just hits so crisply and evokes nights listening to live music in san juan
