This year has been the most “Mom, he hit me back!” year I can recall.

And there's a great blog about this text here genizahfragments.lib.cam.ac.uk/2026/02/02/a...

It’s awesome because, conspiracy trash aside, InfoWars is a helluva brand name.

Wait, the same person making short videos where she’s “gentle parenting” horrible politicos is *also* the one who brought down Swalwell?!

Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best

Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON

really good images of the model of NYC they made for the hudsucker proxy from an old issue of cinefex

My reaction exactly.

A photo of a London barbershop called “Adam Grooming Atelier.” The illustration in its plate glass window is a stylized big-chinned man with a beard.

“High and tight, with the barest of undercuts — very good, sir. Would sir also like to inspect our boutique selection of facemaxxing hammers?”

*banging on table* AN-TI-POPE! AN-TI-POPE!

Waiting for Karoline Leavitt to assure us that this was merely a typo, and that the President meant to say “Happy Easter.”

I Am Here to Watch the Birthright-Citizenship Arguments but Not in a Threatening Way Can’t a president go watch his justices?

This is, frankly, bullshit. Read the article more closely: it's an advertisement for a political position, the so-called "balanced budget," which is the sort of thing you write about when you don't understand the difference between your household and the fucking planet.

“Should I kill myself, or not?” —Hamlet, in the original Klingon

Somehow, when my editor sent me the questions, my brain didn’t quite connect the dots to “Hey, you have an author interview in the New York Times!” Which is probably why I told them my biggest inspiration is spite.

Done!

Good lord. The French have gotten control of the 7th Sea RPG and as a result the swashbuckling levels are off the charts!

The Submarine of Czechia: Or, The Life of a Spy at Mar-a-Lago A version of this short story was originally published in Flaming Hydra, an art collective I'm proud to be a part of. This is most definitely a work of...

so what happened was, i read nine john le carré books, then i saw the pictures of the preposterous drapery SCIF at mar a lago where the iran war was being conducted, and then i thought about how many spies there must be at that place

and then i wrote a short story

Co-signing this. I find it easier to step away between acts now than in the original.

That said, in STS1 I am usually carrying the entire deck in my head. There is so much new stuff going on that I am constantly reviewing my deck anyway, so it’s no bother to review it after restarting the game.

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026

Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

What an auspicious day for my teenage son to receive recruitment email from the Marines.
