The Man of Astoria

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November.

“I feel good about that,” Cuomo said.

New Yorkers won’t.

[seven minutes into a first date, getting weirdly serious] I just can’t fucking stand the way Tim treats Al on Tool Time

Andie are you spartan with it (split into two pieces, rotated so that board is perpendicular to the desktop) or are you a sentimental girlie (key tension level designed to match a specific pre-digital product, a couple fun keycaps)

Zohran's field op resumes tomorrow. While 50K volunteers for the primary is historic, there are hundreds of thousands more in this city who love talking politics, support Zohran, and are physically able to canvass but don't (yet). Here's my persuasion pitch for why it's worth your time to canvass. 🧵

I love that these guys are always like “Zohran must comply with this new version of BDS I came up with yesterday or he is a hypocrite. Also please remember that BDS is an antisemitic hate scheme I would never support under any circumstances”

I am doing a Brother check-in. Showing support for one another...I need SIX men to post, not share, this message to show you are always there if someone needs to talk. Pretty sure I know who will.

Come on down to the gig, dude. It’s in the back room of the bowling alley, under the Bifrost. There’s a guy dressed exactly like me in front of me, I’m terrified for when he turns around

And NOT as a format screw. Every new writer’s first piece now is a 15k word long format screw with a bunch of prose in it and it’s tiresome

I’ve been saying this about a lot of horror and sci-fi lately but Weapons really does feel very SCP-core in terms of the way things unfold and escalate. Honestly I think it would be a good writing prompt for new writers over there to summarize it in the form of special containment procedures

Weapons is pretty handily my top movie of the year, holy smokes

Weapons is a movie about falling asleep in the car

JAMES BOND (Tom Holland): (into smart watch) Alexa, I need your help! I can’t get into the Amazon fulfillment centre to save the Prime Minister! There’s a large group of pro-union protestors blocking the way!
MILF YOUNGLY (Lauren Sanchez): Perhaps I could be of service, Mr. Bond. I am 24 years old.

My adulthood is haunted by a European friend once having told me, “I don’t feel like my vacation has really begun until after the first two weeks”

reached out to a stripe company spokesperson about support team members claiming to some callers that the payment processor forbids LGBTQ+ content – not just of the adult variety, but in general. the spokesperson told me that is unequivocally incorrect
