The Plague fucking rocks
Niche post for critics and movie-awards-season nerds: Don't sleep on The Plague, a superb, excruciatingly tense American debut film--not horror, but in its way terrifying--about being a 12- or 13-year-old boy among other 12- or 13-year-old boys. Opens next month; it's haunted me since I saw it.

She is SO CORRECT about this. Get that poopermint OUT OF HERE
My holiday hot take is that I hate peppermint in drinks. Coffee, lattes, hot chocolate. It's disgusting and unnatural.

Could not agree more
I'm going to be selfish for a minute, and say that my life personally is so much better, and so much grander, and so very beautiful, because trans people are in it. Fascists can fuck off, trans people aren't going anywhere.

happy trans day of remembrance. you all deserve so much more than this 🏳️‍⚧️

I read Nick Harkaway's Gone Away World some time in college and learned the line between Literary Fiction and Genre Fiction was totally made up and writing can be anything you want. It sent my love of stories into overdrive and it hasn't slowed down since.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

in the fast paced world of retention editing, i made a video about a book and then went to the woods to talk about the book, and included slow shots of nature.

it's not going to crush the algorithm, but it might make you feel something?

Softball ... trivia ... mahjong
as the husband of a mahjong addict, dudes need to identify an activity that can be done relatively easily in groups with minimal financial commitment so they can get out of the house for 2-3 hours on a school night, have two beers, and shoot the shit with their buddies.

It won't be mahjong tho.
This is excellent, and great fun to read. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

You just very publicly stopped fighting! What the fuck kinda thing to say is this?!?!
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

There is going to be a best selling book about how Chuck Schumer killed America and we'll all get to read it in eight minute chunks during our break from mandatory data center maintenance

There are so many instances of this weird thing where people just project a meaning and "ideal version" onto a movie and then when the movie does anything else they get mad about it and sometimes even make up fake versions of the movie to be mad at! it's WILD
It's become this thing online where people claim Abuela never apologizes to Mirabel or the family in Encanto and I need you all to stop projecting your childhood trauma onto this movie because Abuela does apologize specifically to Mirabel and then later to the family.

this is Very True - it is also a lesson for Dems. If they're going to campaign on Trump Bad, they have to be prepared to deliver on cost of living, pro-democracy, pro-environment, and real anti corruption policy or they'll have THE SAME PROBLEM
not to be that Hamilton-quoting lady but
winning was easy, governing's harder. turns out when you're in charge of everything, voters know that.

It's kinda clown shit to post this article without engaging the question of why the reality of Mamdani makes the attacks their talking about (which they've been making on every dem since Obama) more effective now than they were last week. It doesn't make any sense!
