I write books (I AM NOT A WOLF), games (Magic: The Gathering, Who's A Good Boy), and jokes (The Onion, my many beautiful posts) but I mostly post turtle pics and scream

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

As promised! In today’s article, I write about contemporary culture’s interest in “civilizing” monsters, how Magic engages in this work, and whether the game’s narrative and mechanics might hardwire essentialism into its worldbuilding—give a read!

Not a single episode of detroiters on this thing
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

If I were writing current events right now I’d do a running gag where everyone who profiles RFK Jr falls in love with him and he sends them all the same poem

A funny part of getting older is that while time does pass faster, you also forget how little of it has to pass for younger people to start getting nostalgic about something so you’ll see someone opining about 2021 and look at them like they just waxed poetic about this morning’s breakfast

Funny and alarming that the media immediately capitulated to this idea that fascism was ascendant and we were at the start of a thousand year reich and then we had one pretty good election and now they're like "wait okay maybe not"

When Abe Lincoln said "As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide" I feel like maybe he knew about the Titus Andronicus song or at least heard the drums drop in for a second

I find this particular bit to be one of the most exhausting recurring gags on the internet but it genuinely does seem like a lot of men were emailing sex criminal Jeffery Epstein in lieu of going to therapy
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.
