the editor must have felt like a little bird had alighted on their finger when these two came in the same batch
Discord screenshot with username removed. "1st letter: 'my wife doesn't want to have sex with me. she says this is because work and parenting are wearing her out too much to have much enthusiasm for it anymore, but I asked people on Reddit and Quora, and they told me I'm probably smaller than a favorite ex of hers. Jessica Stoya how do I get my wife to acknowledge Redditor truth' 2nd letter: 'my ex was big and gave me good orgasms. my husband tries hard but he isn't quite as good. what are my choices here'"

GOOFUS reflecting, briefly, on his relationship to GALLANT
Screenshot from Riley MacLeod's blog, which I liked and enjoyed, about Blue Prince, from Aftermath When the headline for this blog popped into my head after playing Blue Prince all Sunday morning when I meant to go outside instead, I realized I’d written a not-dissimilar blog about Balatro early in its popularity. That was another game that 1. noted sicko Chris Person loved, and 2. has a depth that gobbled up players’ time in a manner similar to Blue Prince. Both games appear straightforward on their surface but hide a ton of discoverable strategies and secrets. This is a good thing: It rules that we’ve been getting such a wealth of unique indie games these days. https://aftermath.site/blue-prince-beginner

dressing Michael Cera to look "36 in the 50s" constitutes a jumpscare
a shot of Michael Cera from the trailer for The Phoenician Scheme, directed by Wes Anderson. he looks the way 36 year olds looked in the 1950s rather than the way they do now

@gregerskine.bsky.social flexing in this way on a beloved actor's death is so brazen I have to respect it

the panel from "Steven Universe vs. Hitler" edited so that Garnet, whose name I had to look up because I've never seen Steven Universe, is saying "I think we're gonna have to primary these guys, Steven"

yep, that's exactly what was going on there
"Memories of Murder" is such a taut, effective thriller it's a shame you have to read subtitles to gauge just how good a movie it is. If you don't speak Korean, that is. The problem isn't the film's South Korean provenance or that it centers on two detectives tracking a serial killer, perilously overworked terrain. The problem is that persuading audiences to watch foreign-language films by directors they've never heard of has never been easy even if -- and here's my shameless hard sell -- the movie in question works better than most Hollywood thrillers and even those "Law & Order" procedurals with Vincent D'Onofrio. The comparison with "Law & Order" is misleading but not entirely specious. Like Dick Wolf's workhorse franchise, "Memories of Murder" relies on the nitty-gritty of investigative work to reveal the story rather than the personalities on either side of the law.

I love Stereogum's Number Ones, and I like Tim Breihan, but he has never given any indication of living the kind of life that lets you make pronouncements about the great ladies' men. That kind of writer doesn't dig into sample histories www.stereogum.com/2294594/the-...
The great ladies’ men of the world are the ones who love women. They love the way that women walk, talk, smell, think. They love being around women. They like to flirt because it’s fun, not because it’ll get them something that they want. Too often on record, Drake has not been that type of ladies’ man. On something like “Hotline Bling,” he’s a bitter ex who can’t believe that his old “good girl” would be so crass as to go out and have fun and maybe fuck someone else. But that’s not the Drake that we get on “Nice For What.” The Drake of “Nice For What” is one of the great ladies’ men of the world. You can’t write a song like that if you don’t truly love women. It’s hard to believe that this Drake and the other Drake could occupy the same body, but I guess that’s the human experience.

Screenshot of a 4chan greentext quoted in a Sam Kriss review of right-wing "alt-lit," used as an example of a native-Internet form that refers to real everyday life as opposed to alt-lit pseudo-irony.
