Just once I’d like an athlete to say “hail Satan” at the beginning of a post game interview, is that too much to ask

You ever think about how conscious time is basically the most valuable thing we have and it’s been commodified for us to labor for other people’s benefit and all the objects around the world are the embodiment of people’s lives spent on this process :)

I knew all along it was called the Butt Pan. Even when it was called "Bundt," I knew.
Cleaning up is as simple as washing, rinsing, and drying in less than five minutes—no heavy scrubbing necessary. No need to deal with those caked-on bits that get stuck in the hard-to-reach areas of a roasting pan. nyti.ms/4a9w2US

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

All the obvious too-on-the-nose dystopian sci-fi ideas are becoming realized in our Stupid Future™️
I'm a strong advocate of the idea that death's inevitability is what gives meaning to life and that a fulfilling life is impossible without accepting one's mortal existence.

Which is to say: if I meet anyone behind this product and its ad I'm gonna kick 'em in the nards.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people):

Not sure if “changed” is the right word, but Cixin Liu’s “3 Body Problem” trilogy surprisingly did the most for my Trump/pandemic-era anxiety. Positioning human life within the vast cosmos and deep time puts today’s grandest worries in perspective. Cosmic insignificance therapy.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Bond multiverse incoming
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

That’s crazy, and so is seeing a public life commemorated with birth and death dates both within the 21st century.
Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland died Thursday morning, the team shared in a statement.

Kneeland, 24, was in his second season with the team after being drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
