My son has created a primitive pillow fort. My daughter, unable to break her way in, has wandered to the kitchen and is eating his half-finished dinner while he screams "NO! MINE!" from behind his walls. I could stop her, but I think it's important to let children learn important lessons like "When the enemy's fortifications are impregnable, pillage the countryside until starvation forces them out."

A lot of y'all are talking about your preparations for the "Super Bowl", but has your proctologist recently expressed admiration for your "superb bowels"?

Things Will Get Better Before They Get Worse For Bernard Lonergan, the drama of human history is—even right now, even in the United States—in the process of being redeemed by God through grace.

"Lonergan’s philosophy of history anticipates that, in situations like ours, things will get better before they get worse."

Conspiracy theorists, barely a month into 2026:

Let's be real, no one below a certain tax bracket "decants" anything

I've been enjoying video games since the Atari 2600 reigned supreme, but I can't remember ever having bought a game just from seeing the ad...for most of their history game ads seemed intent upon discouraging you from wanting the actual product

Nobody had any idea how to sell video games in the 90s (and well into the 2000s) so a good chunk of game ads were just sex/masturbation jokes that told you virtually nothing about the game itself. The prime example being this absolutely unhinged Goemon's Great Adventure (N64) ad:

Jimmy Build Wall
My Tactical Romance
New Border
Cute Is What We Detain For
Panic! At The Detention Center

touching grass is not enough i need eat god

Domino Effect Meme, starting with "Jeffrey is horny" and ending with "The end of US democracy"

This is looking increasingly likely

GOLDEN AGE!!!

I missed out on these but I was a huge fan of Keebler Pizzarias

we were wild in those days, just pizzafying everything

They had One Night Stand back in the early days, first place I remember seeing Ellen DeGeneres

Glow sticks hold the sins of all the children who forgot to release the fireflies from the jar

Dave Navarro probably doesn't avail himself of the services of a Blood Boy or measure his son's erections either, just sayin' is all

CHOMP

That's a cute opinion. Did *jeffrey epstein* give it to you?

Imma be real with you guys the "TESCREAL" stuff is basically the libleft version of rightist paranoia over "Cultural Marxism", where you just smash together a half-dozen things that annoy you and go "these things are all connected and being pushed by a nefarious secret cabal of my political enemies"

I've been looking for a new musical genre to be autistically fixated on, might be time to give instrumental hip-hop a go

Radio Free Europe or Drive, depending on my mood

You want a cheeseburger? How 'bout some ether?

Do I have a picture? Oh, I sure do

It's 1990something and I'm wearing black: Black shirt, black pants, black jungle boots, with a black leather jacket or trenchcoat for good measure

I was not a goth; I would describe my style as "skinny redheaded fuckboy/moody theater kid/nihilistic hipster"

Seeing the Fnords in the Machine I just read Michael Rock's essay "If You Don't See the Fnord it Can't Eat You" and it clarified something I've been circling around for months. Rock traces the paranoid history of subliminal messaging from Robert Anton Wilson's Discordian chaos to Madison Avenue's mind control fantasies. The fnord1 is typography that triggers dread without semantic content. You don't read it consciously, but it programs anxiety directly into your nervous system.

What if the ambient anxiety you feel scrolling feeds isn't random?

OUR BLESSED based THEIR BARBAROUS cringe OUR GLORIOUS meme culture THEIR WICKED brainrot OUR GREAT image macros THEIR PRIMITIVE slop posting OUR NOBLE neologisms THEIR BACKWARD meaningless slang OUR HEROIC funny number 69 THEIR BRUTISH funny number 67

A technology called X that slowly drives people crazy and makes them believe friends and colleagues have become part of a secret cult-like organisation called The Blob sounds like the plot of a high amphetamine consumption era Philip K Dick story rather than our current reality

this is how the WH works now
