Mike was one of the guys laying the framework for what good jokes would look like in a novel format with a strict character limit. 35 is so young. Rest easy good stranger

Love this book, and John Darnielle’s audiobook read is really great
Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. I hadn't read this since before it came out (my blurb for it was technically my first published work). Where most books move forward, this one moves in spirals, going over the same moment again and again, showing you just a little more each time.

Avatar 3: Imperfect, but still great. I wish it was possible to see in Imax in 2D. And I wish the group next to me in the theaters wasn’t giggling the whole time. It wasn’t *that* goofy… boxd.it/c8Ta67
A review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)
A fun spectacle. I want to watch again not in 3D, they have not figured that tech out still. What I liked: the combat in this one felt really high stakes and grounded, and it looked great. Some of the...

Wake Up Dead Man really elevates the Knives Out formula. The mystery is not quite as twisty as the first, and the ensemble and Benoit Blanc take a bit of a back seat, but that’s honestly a strength because it lets the story, Josh O’Connor’s priest, and the cinematography shine boxd.it/bYogZF
A review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Stylistically and thematically the mightiest of the three knives out installments. Blanc taking the passenger seat to Josh O’Connor worked swimmingly—the latter is a very compelling protagonist, and h...

Interesting: At an event, Bosboys and Poets owner Andy Shallal says D.C. should have some form of commercial rent limits to protect small/local businesses that could be priced out by landlords raising rents. He says he moved his NoMa location after landlord wanted 30% increase.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
