I was too, but this is the same method used by a 109-year-old Japanese man who pees like he's 20!"

Hey ya’ll. Pleased to say Inverse now has a Bluesky account, and I will (largely) be running it. So if you’d give @inverse.com a follow on here, I’d tremendously appreciate it.

I feel like I'm witnessing a modern Lovecraftian horror where everyone who witnesses an object goes mad and scribbles their wild thoughts down with no regard for how they'll be perceived, and that object is Taylor Swift's new album

If this is true then we *really* can't trust this place anymore. (Shouldn't have had much trust anyway, it's still not clear where they get the money that's keeping the place operational.) Start planning for exits

I was just trying to reference a psalm, and now Martin Luther is going to punch his way out of his grave Kill Bill-style and hash out a bonus thesis

Saw an NYT article today about "How Video Games Are Shaping a Generation of Boys, for Better and Worse" and while I have zero evidence to support this I think it was probably better for men/society when video games came with gigantic manuals that you had to sit your ass down and read first

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

I wrote about the 90th anniversary of Bride of Frankenstein, a film that's one of the last gasps of both an era of horror and of Universal Pictures. It's a gorgeous, tragic story of a world populated by "gods and monsters." www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

It kind of got lost amid everything else but it came out earlier this month that in 2019 they sent some SEALs into North Korea for a botched mission that ended with fishermen getting murdered, I guess that's just like their signature move now
