The feigned ignorance of how journalism, especially print journalism, works (particularly by big accounts) is irritating.

Like, isn't this the sort of thing they were supposed to be specializing in?

Post seems to be getting beaten pretty bad on the Iran attack. This is the top of their app.

HBO should adapt GRRM's "Night of the Vampyres." Some, uh, parallels to draw on there.

I am so, so tired of screenshots of articles marinated in rage bait. The article is about NYC/Mamdani's efforts to avoid homeless deaths during this storm. Read it for yourself:

Since everyone is talking about TV, I am trying to like Poker Face, but all of my fondness in the "P.I. With One Neat Trick" archetype is tied up in Psych.

This fruit discourse feels like a trap, like I'll name one and then get a million quote tweets about how I'm an idiot because that fruit is actually a vegetable or a nut. For all I know, an orange is a legume.

I always wanted to learn the broccolo.

There are some medium to big accounts on here that let their followers know when they're logging on and off and that's just crazy pants to me.

Yeah, I have a $10 bill from FedEx for customs and tariffs weeks after buying a laptop bag online. Same question.
