(I do have some idea. The lion's share of the hits are coming from Google, but I have almost no idea what people are googling to get it!)

The repulsive sexual realism of Chainsaw Man One of the era's top anime defies expectations with the horror of being human.

I wrote this Chainsaw Man essay completely on a whim while watching the first season, mostly on a lunch break at work. As of today, it's my first Substack to top a thousand hits!

No idea where the traffic is coming from, but I'm very grateful!

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

Man shot by federal officers during Minneapolis immigration crackdown has died, hospital record shows Federal immigration officers shot and killed a man Saturday in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

Over 100 priests have been arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE.

They gathered to demand airlines to cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

We'll miss Pitchfork when it's gone. The villain of music media was more of an anti-hero.

I was SUPPOSED to take a Substack break this week, but Pitchfork decided to go all-in on fast-tracking its gradual demise. So I had to dig this out of Google Drive.

So let's talk about something not-so-fun: criticism is necessary for a healthy art ecosystem.

Various muzzy characters looking at each other

So a lot of the time when I'm trying to learn a new language, I will look to see if there is a Muzzy variant already on YouTube.

This stuff used to cost you hundreds to watch in one language, now it's gathering so much cultural dust that you can just watch most of them online for nothing.

This one particular sentence changed the prudence of this post from "I told you so" to "mea culpa"

Don't worry, I'll start calling Queens LGA until it catches on

love to see father and son bonding #heartwarming

get away from her (how to train your dragon 2)

I think we're running out of culture wars.

Starting a new cardio routine where I just put on "Stop Making Sense" and mirror everything David Byrne does.

Now normally I'm opposed to Disney flexing the iron grip of its excessive IP litigation.......

It absolutely has, but it's been a long time coming. This has been fomenting since at LEAST early 2022.

A still black and white image from the Addams Family, with Wednesday Addams holding the hand of Uncle Fester. Text overlaid on the character of Wednesday reads “Wednesday phone zap”, and the text overlaid on the character of Uncle Fester reads “City Council funding libraries with at least %0.5 of the city budget”

Wednesday phone zap time!

Join NYC PLAN in calling our city council members every Wednesday to demand at least %0.5 of the city budget be dedicated to our NYC library systems.

Hockey players are not worth this much lust My favorite sport is being marred by the tragedy of me not getting it.

This week on Substack, I take offense not with "Heated Rivalry," not with BookTok hockey romance in itself, not with the traitorous scallywag John Tavares... but with the fact that they point to the idea that we've wrongfully deemed NHL players compelling.

My Submittable overview is like Rejected Rejected Rejected and my TBQ In-Progress is the pea underneath all the rejection mattresses. It’s quite beautiful.

I remember buying Your Love and sitting around at my summer job looking at the single art on my iPod and hoping she'd be a huge worldwide star. I remember that one moment every time I see her pull some new stunt, and no matter how many stunts are pulled it never stops being a little sore.

"A Barb is accustomed to deputizing themselves to an outside entity. We call that entity Nicki Minaj, but Barb scholars know it’s not her. It’s Something Else. Even the name “Minaj” implies a third presence."

Stunning!!!!!

I saw this in 4DX and it was like being beat up and hosed.

They can feel shame at doing something wrong, but they will not feel it for being whatever the dog version of cringe is. There but for the grace of God go we.

Dogs exist in an enviable state of cognition where they can experience guilt but not embarrassment

What's the over under on a man reflexively saying this to a woman he's mad at in a real life conversation within the year
