In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

We've got a little over 2 weeks until the SubClub closes. This has been the slowest year for subscribers since I first started it. And that makes a lot of sense given everything that's happening around us. It's a strain on our year too. This is our call for help. (Picture: last year's SubClub)

I was a Weirdpunk sub in 2024 and it improved my quality of life significantly. Banger after banger. I highly recommend signing up (and picking up last year’s books while you’re at it) if weird radical queer transgressive horror and speculative is your bag (and if you’re following me it prob is)

Researchers believe they've recorded potentially the first-ever sighting of an adult abyssal fish, Melanocetus johnsonii, in broad daylight. Normally found at depths between 200 and 2,000 meters, this predator was spotted just 2km off the coast of Tenerife. Full story: tinyurl.com/5j37dnmw

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
