People are so desperate to feel like anything in this world is magic that they'll buy a lie over the, usually much more interesting, reality. These people are junkies without the commitment.

Today in "Welcome to the Horrors of Modernity": The toilet in my hotel room is leaking water when flushed and the only customer service option is an AI who "filed a ticket" with maintenance, doesn't have an ETA, but has the good advice to "just stop using the toilet and lay down a towel" 😬

MÅÅÅÅÅL

Big fan of us when we send a club banger dtf, especially on with the lyric "in my body parts" and "in every shart"* #melodifestivalen #melfest

*I know it's "in every shot," but that is NOT what it sounds like

If there are no Bengtsson haters, then I'm dead

Jag älskar att vara skåning så fucking mycket!!!!!!!!! #melodifestivalen #melfest

You have heard it, when it was called "Bar Song" by Shaboozy. Melo works overtime on barely tweaked plagiarism, but this Magic Mike Revue was next level 💀

This country is so deeply unserious and I love it #melodifestivalen #melfest

Abolish. ice. 💔

Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

My industry pass for the Göteborg Film Festival

The US government murdered a nurse today.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Digital illustration in a black and white graphite/charcoal style. The title character of Nosferatu (2024) is advancing toward you with his big mustache and one hand reaching from under his big furry coat. Probably with ill intent. You are free to imagine that Orlock is in fact about to really give the business to someone who actually deserves it. Whoever you like. As the scratchy lettering around his head says, ‘maybe it will happen today’.

He was legally observing
He was helping other legal observers
He was helping other potential victims
He was not brandishing a gun
May Alex Pretti’s memory be a blessing

Email from the US Embassy in Copenhagen warning of "multiple demonstrations by several groups" showing up on Saturday, Jan 24th to protest.

In 2004, Gavin Newsom tried to glad-hand me at the exit of the Montgomery BART station. My reflexive reaction back then is what everyone's should be to that sweaty, desperate little edgelord today: "Ew, no!"

Trying to Make a Website in 2026: I Am Going to Kill the Internet -The Jessica Forbes Story

😤😤😤😤😤😤

Yeah, it sucks ass. 😟

My family always gives me shit about how many locks I put on my ebike, but today I went to the grocery for like, 10 minutes ,and some asshole cut my cables when they realized they couldn't steal the whole bike 😖

2) In 2001, when my startup had a very legal MP3 server (powered by internal staff contributions that were 100% never pirated 😏) powering our hold music using Winamp on shuffle. In the days just post 9/11, we got so many complaints about that song playing that we had to take it out of the server. 🤡

1) Memorizing the lyrics by recording it from the radio and then rewinding it over and over, writing them down to commit them to memory

KEXP is playing "It's The End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M. which will always make me remember two things.
