I don't like the things you like, and I'm on the internet SPECIFICALLY to let you know that.

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.
Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.

J used her (quite decent) French to ask for a hat. Very nice woman directed her to hats. J clarified, "warm hat?"

Clerk switched to English and said, "No, only fashion. You have to have fashion."

I believe the garden center is the most honest place in the world. It's where we all openly admit we are trying to nurture something beautiful in soil that doesn't want it, under a sun that doesn't care. I go there to feel seen.

Home Depot is a cathedral of what-ifs. What if we retile the bathroom, what if we never speak again, what if this needs stitches.

Just in case anyone was wondering why there has been a spate of articles in legacy media urging women to just *settle* and stop thinking of their own happiness while the male loneliness epidemic is in full swing, etc.
The sharp decline in US teenagers’ aspiration to get married and have kids…

…is happening almost entirely among girls, not boys.

At some point maybe men will start trying harder to understand that.

Most food that is made well tastes good. If you can't make a food well, try making a different food you are better at making

This whole thread is so worthwhile.
Found my doctors appointments got less frustrating once I started going in like “I really want to play badminton again 😢 but I can’t even push a cart around the grocery store 😢 and I’ve hit a wall where no matter what I do I can’t seem to increase my exercise capacity 😢 and it makes it hard to work”
The rationale behind these studies, Seltzer contests, is [that] “it presumes that the patient had never heard of exercise until a doctor told them [it] exists.”

Thanks to Simon Spichak for putting this idea into print. I've said multiple times in interviews that it's the strangest part... 🧵

I am smoking 17 cigarettes simultaneously while waiting for fall 2026. Not because I'm nervous about how a romcom with a covid conscious MC will be perceived. For other, different reasons.

Can we get directions to the ones that are still in need of defacement
Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.

Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

It's dark so that means it's 10pm and I can go to bed.

This post is NOT about me, and I resent everybody who said it was. 😠
You show me your personality and I can tell you why you’re alone. Maybe. A parlor game.
