MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1961)

Goatse hands on an anus-esque flower with an American flag motif.

These spare covers are getting weird

“You can’t arrest him simply because he’s a bloody immigrant! …You filthy goddamn fascist asshole, take your hands off my lobby boy!”

I object on aesthetic and maybe quasi-moral grounds to language like “devout” and “deeply religious” in this context. If his fanaticism adhered to a different faith, he’d get “fanatic,” “extremist,” “zealot” etc. Perverting the Cross to commit murder exempts you from “devout”

The Battling Memoirs of The New Yorker A host of accounts by the magazine’s staffers covers a full century of its history, but the trove of recollection is fraught and jumbled.

The New Yorker is now 100 years old. Anthony Lane takes a backward glance at decades of material written about the magazine, published by New Yorker staffers. #NewYorker100

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

nathan fielder uses the rehearsal budget like the pentagon. use all of it so it doesn't get cut next season.

nathan fielder’s “rehearsal” is a modern peak for television. the artist has carved a statue where others simply see a block of marble.

Sunday vibes.

This reference is for like 17 people on the internet, but it’s a pretty good one.

“As a child, I did not know how special libraries were—I thought it was just how society worked—I thought there always were and always would be public libraries.” Brewster Kahle Digital librarian, Internet Archive

This #NationalLibraryWeek, we're celebrating the power of libraries to endure—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.

In our latest Vanishing Culture essay, @brewster.kahle.org shares why preserving the library system matters now more than ever: blog.archive.org/2025/04/07/v...

As the markets fell, Trump putted The stock markets have lost more than $6 trillion in value since Trump imposed sweeping tariffs last week. But on Sunday the president won — at golf.

NOT CHELSEA!!!! #TheWhiteLotus

I think I watched a different White Lotus than everyone else because I thought this season was pretty good and well-paced. But also I never care about the murder mystery plot! Beside the point for me. I just wanna watch the actors bounce off of each other.

Above and beyond our willingness to tolerate the astounding stupidity of tariffs and the gutting of government function, if there is a rube still out there who thinks Trump and his cadre of oligarchs didn't short the stock market two months ago, I'm curious to meet the precious, moon-faced wonder.

Unfortunately, liberals have paved the way for this disgusting accusation. Now in mainstream political discourse, sufficiently Zionist goys can become the arbiter of Jewishness

This is the fallout from years and years of maliciously conflating anti Zionism and antisemitism, smearing as a bigot anyone who supports Palestinians, and allowing Jewishness to be equated with a fascist ethno state

About to watch Serenity (2019) with a chat full of people that have no idea what they’re in for.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

I have nine children living in a $9,000,000 life-sized replica of the Titanic and if they develop psychic powers they don't die 🥰

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much
