it's time to be worse

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

FINALLY IT'S MY TIME TO SHINE

Hello from a South Dakota State fan. NDSU is the FUCKING WORST.

I love Quentin Tarantino's movies, they're a vital part of my career and my life, and every time he does a podcast or gives in an interview it's a sharp reminder of the genuine intellectual danger of spending 30 years of your life with everyone around you treating you like a genius at all times

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

We may have listeners who are not lesbians but I have never seen any evidence of this

(They were, in fact, feeling a feeling. Perhaps many feelings.)

day 1 is "penzeys revolution blend" and i cant stop laughing at "we have to GET RID of this lying, cheating, CORRUPT SCUMBAG PRESIDENT!! RESIST! REVOLT! REVOLUTION NOW!! good on roast poultry and carrots"

“I AM NOT FEELING A FEELING!!!” our child screeches into the unyielding maw.

“‘After a few hours of sleep and zero signs of injury (other than maybe a hangover and poor life choices), he was safely released back to the wild, hopefully having learned that breaking and entering is not the answer,’ the agency said.”

By poor life choices they mean being a fucking rock star

Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami

I will now defend myself by paraphrasing jack nicholson in that scene from a few good men, who is the hero of that movie btw

I think you really need to know yourself to play this game well.

For instance, I never would have thought I'd pick Jonah Hill but he's in no less than three perfect, endlessly rewatchable favorites: (How to Train Your Dragon, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and Moneyball) so here we are.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Well, there's that one lost Bluey episode...

Kid: "That's mama's book!"
Me: "It is! You're so clever!"
Kid: "Where's your book?"
Me: "I..."
Kid: "Where's YOUR book??"

Woodworking by Emily St. James The staff picks card reads: An engaging, rich, profoundly human story about trans women living in South Dakota against the backdrop of the 2016 election. There are hard realities but also plenty of joyous scenes that will make you want to Pump your fist victoriously! An ode to trans solidarity delivered through damn good literary fiction. - SARAH

I signed a bunch of copies at Woodworking at Women and Children First bookstore in Chicago, where I am annoyingly stranded for 36 hours. It is in STAFF PICKS.

Also, it is my BIRTHDAY, so you should buy my book in MY HONOR.

The Husband and I may say "Toonces, look out!!" to each other with a non-negligible degree of frequency

Toddler is flipping through my copy of @paultremblay.bsky.social's Head Full of Ghosts to "read" it to me, and it's apparently about a very scary chicken who is purple but who gets to watch Ms. Rachel videos when she is good.

'F*** Off And Let People Be': David Tennant Doubles Down On Support For Trans People "People are trying to create division... and it's so f***ing unnecessary."

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

okay now I'm wondering if he was spawned by the presence of the shirtless ones. starter jackets are the spiritual opposite of shirtlessness

more concerned about the guy in the bottom left single-handedly bringing back the starter jacket

This is in the running for my favorite lecture slide ever

A little kid in a mauve coat, red tutu, and rainbow rain boots. They have their hood up and are hunched over against the winter’s wind. They are in a stroller that is too little for them.

The same child, riding on their mother’s shoulders, head bowed down so no skin is exposed. Their mom seems nonplussed.

Took a California child to Michigan, and it went well, as you can tell
