conversely you’ll learn about the dangers of being too laconic in your approach by simply observing carlos mendoza

If the "how can you post about SPORTSBALL when we're LIVING under FASCISM" scolds paid attention to sportsball, they'd know what happens when a manager tries to get through a series using only his high-leverage relievers. There's no better example of why you can't go through life in panic mode 24/7

you may find lowest common denominator theatre, music, or comedy to be formulaic and devoid of originality but i can promise you it’s better than the shit your average trust fund baby is putting up at the new school

my hot take, while we’re at it: to claim that the only “true” artists are they who don’t calibrate their output to the demands of a commercial marketplace is vacuous and bourgeois. the only thing artists who can afford that level of risk have in common: they don’t need to make a living on their art!

i hate writing without an editor. please destroy my shit and build it back from the ground up. i want to be accessible and intelligible, not prosaic and annoying

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

1) this is not going to happen
2) Trump's convoy eating an IDF mortar round would be probably the funniest way for his Presidency to end

*TRUMP: I'LL BE GOING TO EGYPT MOST LIKELY
*TRUMP: I'LL BE MAKING THE ROUNDS IN THE MIDEAST
*TRUMP: WOULD CONSIDER GOING TO GAZA

The fate of an unfortunate jetpack courier not careful enough in a corporate tower swarming with geometric biological horrors and rogue defence systems.

“he ah-matized me” is a terrible lyric for many reasons, not the least of which is that it makes it sound like “he traumatized me”

The unbearable contradictions of the neoliberal order are tearing everything apart and driving everyone insane, and the massive human rights crimes of the last two years have really accelerated the process. Every liberal institution has lost all credibility.

We recorded for almost four hours with @mattielubchansky.com on the Stephen Sondheim musical INTO THE WOODS and on Wednesday you’re going to hear at least three hours of that conversation. See you then.

Hey do you like @bosh.worstpossible.world from @worstpossible.world and @illconceivedpodcast.com? Do you want to see him do live comedy in Chicago in two weeks? Perhaps a stupid live bracket with @dono.bsky.social from Radio Free Tote Bag? Then you must go to GENIUS NIGHT Mon Oct 20 or I'll die
