Don’t call the new concentration camp in Florida by the evil nickname they gave it and don’t call the spending bill by the stupid fucking winking term. Don’t do their branding for them Jesus fucking Christ.

F1 is such a precise, finely-tuned blockbuster machine - one without a franchise/IP, too - that it's kind of a shame that it's not being celebrated more. This is the kind of film we used to get excited about when we were kids and lament that no one is making nowadays. So here it is.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of 28 Years Later (2025) Equal parts terrifying, thought-provoking, heartwarming, and absurd. That might sound like an impossible gumbo but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t taste fantastic. And it just works on so many levels: an...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right nowβ€”but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧡

a violinist played God Only Knows as my wife and i walked the aisle hand in hand

i have no memory of that moment other than bliss because everything was such a blur but i have a distinct memory of hearing the violinist warming up and i’ll be damned if it isn’t the most perfect song ever

RIP brian

To all the trans men who need to hear it, it is totally okay to be a man. Testosterone does not make you evil. Transitioning doesn't make you a traitor to feminism. It's not internalized misogyny. Most men are good people, even if the bad ones get the most attention.

You are good.

A doctor from Colombia once told me β€œin my country, Easter weekend is full of debauchery because god is dead for three days and there’s nobody watching” and I think about him every year.

Welcome to slop world: how the hostile internet is driving us crazy The last bits of fellowship and ingenuity on the web are being swept away by a tide of so-called artificial intelligence

For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet."
