Upsetting Social Media Ads for Mobile Games A cartoon king is dangling over a pit of lava. He says, “If you don’t match the colored shapes, I die!” Time runs out and the screen blurs, so you ...

I wrote for @mcsweeneys.bsky.social about one of my online obsessions: completely deranged ads for phone games

Tweet by Molly Conger should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians

Gonna have to say, that’s a “yes” from me, dog.

so you’re telling me some people don’t listen to the same song on repeat for hours on end to really savor all the individual pieces and how they come together?

It’s the 30th anniversary and it’s never gotten an album show, we deserve it!!

A John Henry show is my biggest hope and dream and I am officially manifesting my 2 biggest pipe dreams, live “I’ll Be Haunting You” and “The Neck Rolls Aren’t Working”

Hello I am positively vibrating out of my skin over TMBG’s newsletter—give me ALL the deep cuts, boys!!!

I always figured that it was a droid thing, but what's very funny is that it's become what fic writers will put for characters of any species so I like to think that everyone is praising some droid deity when they say "thank the Maker."

Love + Work underground music is an experience that cannot be replicated in capitalist language

my first piece for @flaminghydra.bsky.social is here! it is about the blurred boundaries of creative work, losing yrself to yr job & reclaiming yrself, and the importance of the underground

Your hobbies don’t have to be side hustles. It’s ok to enjoy doing things just for the sake of doing them.

Astarion was created in a lab to appeal to tumblr fandom. elf. silver hair. complicated relationship to sex. fruity. subject of the deepest most acrimonious bad faith discourse possible.

Why isn’t AI doing the tedious shit for creative people instead of doing the creative shit for tedious people

Instead I will probably continue to manifest "Withered Hope" on this upcoming midwest tour, which I think is in the same sonic family and far more realistic

Today in utterly unrealistic daydreams, I'm thinking about how much it would rock if TMBG played "The Neck Rolls Aren't Working" live.

Push alerts from three news outlets, in reverse Chronological order: WS.J: Breaking News, 27m ago SpaceX's second Starship test flight ended in another explosion, but the trip made it farther than the previous attempt The Guardian: SpaceX loses contact with Starship rocket after second launch attempt 30m ago NYT: SpaceX launched its Starship rocket, making progress toward some of the company's most ambitious goals. 42m ago

perfect news alert NYT, really captures the relevant facts, 10/10 no notes

with Flans saying They’re releasing a vinyl of old EP material, i am now manifesting the Back To Skull version of “She Was a Hotel Detective” being on it. i need it!!!

Fifteen years ago researching LEVERAGE corporate villains it was always “how will we defeat this cunning predator?” and now every techbro article makes we wonder “how do we keep this demented manchild from running with scissors big enough to murder Earth?”

I had brunch with a prof from undergrad who has a 7 year old and I gave him my copy of Here Comes Science, only to find out the kid’s currently obsessed with dinosaurs… It took everything in me to subdue my stanny weinkauf mode (but I still gushed about “Paleontologist” a little).

I’m planning on listening this year but I’ll be at work so I probably won’t be able to chat with folks much 🥲

finally got The Else on vinyl… I swear every TMBG vinyl reveals this glorious intricacy that I don’t hear as much on digital and for this one it’s “Careful What You Pack.” truly makes all the little pieces jump out and mesh in a new way, it’s glorious

what do you want!!!!!!!!

no notes

anyway what movie would you want to be watching while your tesla kills you

Consider: your cat purring just because it is sat next to you on the sofa

ep 4 of Dimension 20: Mentopolis just like
