Everyone should be so lucky to find a space to share their truth. This is mine. The world you’re living in is a lie.

What makes streaming different than past revised mediums is that when changes are made, there may be no older physical model to compare it to.

more of a publishing opinion than a literary one i guess, but books should come out in paperback first and then do a hardcover release farther down the road

The last Diane Keaton movie I watched was The Family Stone, and it is a difficult movie (IDK if bad or good, but difficult). Still, Keaton is so prickly and territorial, but so loving, she teaches you how to watch the movie, to manage the difficulty. (Also underrated SJP in a thankless role).

Every day after high school I’d have a glass of un-stirred chocolate milk and olives on the side.

We reached the 100 new subscribers we needed to unlock a Final Fantasy and politics issue for you folks! We'll start production soon with the goal of publishing it in early 2026.

Thank you SO much for all of your help with this drive! We couldn't have done it without you.

I also did a good impression of Nicolas Cage licking the Rosetta Stone to authenticate it.

If it does end tomorrow, I spent today baking bread for my friends, kissing my funny baby, and nailing the high notes on “strangers like me.” Not bad.

I insisted on the title for this.

My eulogy for And Just Like That… Come for the post-mortem, stay for my wish list of episodes that will never be.

"Because this is a show at least in part about aging, this made aging feel timid and apologetic as well."

@nochshorn.bsky.social points out the inherent exhaustion in And Just Like That…:

I'm So Bored, I Could Die - Unwinnable

And Just Like That… is a show that often feels in my brain the same way scrolling on the internet does.

I really cannot stress how much I was almost the only person I know who had heard of him.

can't stop thinking about stupid it would be if you were like, just some dude working at ace hardware and an angry right winger walked in and yelled "why isn't your flag at half mast for charlie kirk?" the funniest possible response would be "who's that"
