The world is obviously bad and getting worse and I wish it weren’t so but it is so the only thing I can say is it’s important to love and to make art and to raise your kids with punk rock attitudes because they might find a way to save us.

Played Warhammer underworlds for the first time today. I think I prefer warcry for small model count games but damn this is still fun!

Listen: I talked with Jewel Rodgers about how she became Nebraska’s first Black state poet, growing up there, and she gives a taste of her poetry at the end!

There’s been a lot of shit in Trump 2.0 that’s been enraging or upsetting or obviously corrupt or frankly insane, but this is the first time I’ve genuinely been scared.

I hate how they only play the Super Bowl in warm weather states or domes. Give me a Super Bowl in Green Bay or Buffalo in a blizzard. I want to see Post Malone slip on an ice sheet and tumble twenty feet before a shirtless man with a beer gut catches him. That’s my national anthem.

Don't doom scroll. Make art. Celebrate art made by others. Find new art to share. Refuse to let these monsters touch your soul.

If you’re tired of screeching in the void, if you want to put your despair into your art, if you’re ready to scream for something to change, we want to see your story.

Bad news, gang: I just watched DUNE for the first time and I'm about to be completely insufferable about it. Tried reading the book a few years ago and it just didn't click for me, but this? This was EXTREMELY my shit.

Yes folks please process that what’s happening right now is that Mr Nazi Salute has access to the personal information of every Jew in America, along with every person who gets/has gotten disability benefits, and so on The Holocaust was an administrative process that included lists of targets

Nothing happening right now, no matter how horrific or upsetting or illegal, can change the fact that these dorks are all giant fucking losers and everyone who comes in contact with them recognizes that on a cellular level.

Congrats to the nominees - I've read way less eventual nominees than usual this year, but I'm stoked to dive in to these.
