…on Friday nights or something, and it’s like no, I have the kids every other Friday so just when I’m free, and it’s like ok, so you’re looking for a call girl, and it’s like no, I would never pay, and it’s like ok, you’re looking for a free call girl and you’re lonely 👌🏻

It’s a male loneliness epidemic, but find a lonely man on a dating app and ask him if he’s looking for a relationship, and he’ll say no, just friends with benefits, so you say ok, like we go to the movies sometimes and also have sex and it’s like no, just sex, so you say ok, so we hook up…

does anyone need a sworn retainer. like a terrible instrument of your will who asks no questions and is more of a living weapon than a fully actualized human being

it is 2030. bari weiss is in charge of all major hollywood studios. movies are exclusively about brave truthtelling women who are universally lauded for their courage of convictions to say you should be allowed to kill brown children if you want

there was so little pornography in the 60s that a bikini from a james bond movie became so famous that it has its own wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_b...

i don't think they should reopen the government. it's funny that they're already talking about figuring out how to pay the soldiery. your majesty the mercenaries are beginning to grumble about their wages but im sure it will be fine

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

this is how the LAN Party book came about!

Kurt @ Hardcore Gaming 101 @hg101.bsky.social · 21h

For anyone lamenting how some goon was able to get a publishing deal - put together your own book! Create a solid concept, do some planning, create a design, and pitch it! Most publishers don't have open pitch seasons. They want to see someone that can see a full project to completion.

men used to get unrealistic expectations from porn and women used to get them from romance books. now everyone gets them from playing immersive 100 hour videogames where an elf with a shadowy past comes to know love again through your shared adventure and offers up their glistening elf body to you

im fiscally conservative but socially liberal. that means i think its good that there is rampant despair but i think people should legally be allowed to do drugs, gamble out of desperation, and kill themselves about it

There has always been a small, noisy minority of gay people whose belief in gay rights boils down to "I shouldn't have to give up any of my prejudices because of who I am." And straight people in media have always fallen all over themselves to hire them.

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”
