I’ve said it before but I was once a D&D and paperback fantasy obsessed 15-year-old, and that kid would’ve been thrilled to learn that as an adult he would spend an entire day doing something called “doomscrolling.”
been said before but man it is crazy how bad slavery fucked this country up. nearly everything bad about Trump and MAGA is a direct lineal descendant of enslaver ideology and politics
the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom
When twitter was perceived as liberal it was a bubble and people should not take it seriously. But now that it's a cesspool of right-wing propaganda it's the Soul of America and the libs ignore it at their peril
Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok
Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside
This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...
It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.
an empire, if it is to persist at least, is a larger political unit. it isn't just the mere personal plaything of one guy. if it is then foreigners might easily bribe him to pillage his own subjects, which is what is happening
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
An image of HBO's The Pitt, where Dr. Robbie is cradling a child.
The cover for the 90s comic PITT #3, which features a monster holding a young boy aloft while the title character uh...crouches in the foreground?
The Pitt is a great example of how an adaptation can differ wildly from the source material and still be seen as a quality endeavor when judged on its own merits.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".
2026 basically
A digital illustration of an alpine meadow full of assorted wildflowers - asters, lupine, paintbrushes, cinquefoils. A unicorn lays in the flowers with its back to the viewer. In the distance, a stand of fir trees gives way to a bank of mist and a mountain rising in the distance.
Finally got around to finishing this! You bet your ghibli ass I had to put a unicorn up in this bad boy

Cropped phot of a black and white comic page while it’s being inked. In a corner panel, a young woman looks over her shoulder and says ‘Whuddup’. The shoulders of her blazer are torn open

Scientists should invent a Good Day clock that counts down to everything being fine
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"
Skeleton guy
living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be
every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie
