I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Can you just start watching white Lotus season 3 without having seen any other seasons? Are they self contained?

An absolutely extraordinary essay on the history of the Gorton typeface and its origins in machine engraving, and dozens of subsequent 20th C printing techniques. Unbelievably nice read on a good-sized screen. aresluna.org/the-hardest-... You see something this nice online perhaps once a year.

Wanna speak to the dev who decided I get an onlyfans model on Instagram Explore every time I click “not interested” on a reel. I need to know if it’s supposed to be a punishment or a reward. Or a super-deliberate way to show this kind of content more surreptitiously.

my million dollar idea is a site like Letterboxd where people write about the books they’ve read with the same inventive, chaotic energy as Letterboxd

do you ever think it's weird that most of the movies we watch now are essentially animations, and if this was a real shot of a waterfall you would feel it in your bones

If every tech stack you’ve touched in the last ten years has felt like a bloated, sunk-cost mess, it’s hard not to feel a little happy about DeepSeek. Efficiency still has value if it can save you building ten thousand new data centres.

Have never seen a Robert Eggers movie, and am planning to keep it that way so I always have something to say at parties.

The order if the universe is somehow upset when you can make a better flat white at home than most of the coffee shops around you. It's unnatural.

A lot of guys go to extreme lengths to shave a couple of grams off their bike weight. But there’s this weird trick you may not have tried: you can remove your 20 kilo daughter and her bike seat from the back of the bike. You won’t believe the difference

I don’t mean disparage this fine website but why are the replies to popular posts so bad here?

I killed it. Feels bad. Being an adult is sometimes so weird.

There’s an enormous rat in our garden. Muscular hindquarters, glossy coat. Honestly a little charmed, a little envious.

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

My kid asked me to explain mules tonight and I was dredging up so much vague information from 20 years ago. A lot of parenting feels like this.

As usual I only have 35 free minutes after getting the kids to bed so I’m watching The Apartment at 3x speed.

The constant low-grade stress of every single person we interact with giving my kids a piece of cheap Christmas sugar that will fuck up both of our afternoons.

Feeling very under the weather today, so I slipped both my kids into the cryogenic chamber and got into bed with a good movie. Would like to thank the inventors of safe, affordable, child-sized cryogenic chambers once again for this modern marvel.
