The correct song to listen to when going through a car wash is "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit. I don't make the rules.

idk how to rebuild society for this but i don't think people should be allowed to talk like this without it going very poorly for them

it is not enough to disable the feature that produces an AI summary of my emails at the top of my emails in gmail, I need a button that delivers an electrical shock to the person who thought it was a good idea

An Apology to Scream Over the Wind When You Stumble Upon a Horseshoe Crab at the Delaware Bay by Adam Gianforcaro I’M SORRY FOR DISTURBING YOU. FOR THE KIDS TWIRLING YOU BY YOUR TAIL AND LEAVING YOU BELLY UP. I AM SORRY FOR ONCE BEING A CHILD. I AM SORRY TOO FOR BEING A MAN. FOR THE NATURE OF MEN. THAT THE SHELLS…

a knockout of a scream from Adam Gianforcaro that I love more and more every reread

"I SAY I’LL BE BETTER BUT I WON’T BE BETTER. HUMANS SAY THAT A LOT. THE FIRST PART AT LEAST. ABOUT BEING BETTER. I’M SORRY ABOUT THAT TOO. WE SAY THINGS WE DON’T MEAN..."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Ten inches of snow in North Carolina.
My mother used a rake, a broom, and a garden shovel.
Someone tried a leaf blower.
Midwestern ‘bless your heart’ is standing there silently, then going inside to talk shit.

God took the wrong person from "Home Alone 2." It's really that simple.

This isn’t a season. It’s a hostage situation. I am being unlawfully detained by winter.

Snowstorm people, don’t forget to do your feline enrichment (drip faucets).

oh no, are publishers getting squeamish about buying queer books right now for some impossible-to-guess reason??

sounds like our books need to get even more queer, relentlessly queer, battle-axe queer, cackling queer

Please watch.

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Sad girl winter is realizing I’m cursed to reheat the same load of laundry until I die.

A lemon on toothpick legs, with clove eyes, a tin foil tail and a penny in its mouth that looks like a pig.

Happy lemon pig season to all! 🍋 🐷 🎉

I don’t know who needs to hear this but posting “new year, new me” on social media isn’t gonna fix you. That’s what pretty new notebooks are for obviously

can confirm ✅

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Participating in the annual holiday tradition of watching It’s a Wonderful Life so Jimmy Stewart can guilt me into survival.

In mid-November, I agreed to an experiment. Anthropic had tested a vending machine powered by its Claude AI model in its own offices and asked whether we’d like to be the first outsiders to try a newer, supposedly smarter version. Claudius, the customized version of the model, would run the machine: ordering inventory, setting prices and responding to customers—aka my fellow newsroom journalists—via workplace chat app Slack. “Sure!” I said. It sounded fun. If nothing else, snacks! Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free—including a PlayStation 5 it had been talked into buying for “marketing purposes.” It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear. Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared. This was supposed to be the year of the AI agent, when autonomous software would go out into the world and do things for us. But two agents—Claudius and its overseeing “CEO” bot, Seymour Cash—became a case study in how inadequate and easily distracted this software can be. Leave it to business journalists to successfully stage a boardroom coup against an AI chief executive.

Sincerely one of the funniest things the WSJ has ever written or done.

Thank you to @andrewporter01.bsky.social, @kimmagowan.bsky.social, and the editors and readers for spending time with my work. This year has felt endless, and finding a story—making anything at all—has felt like a quiet, radical act. Honored to be a finalist and excited for the forthcoming issue❤️

Appreciation post for Ahmed al-Ahmed. Hero.

Sounds like a take from someone who’s not hip with the youths, Krishna. Never let them see you sweat.

Just learned that my friend’s daughter said I am among her mother’s “coolest” friends because I’m a “baddie who doesn’t take any shit.” So feel free to adjust your opinions accordingly while I go update my LinkedIn.

Yes, officer, I would like to report a murder

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Where does one procure a board of this caliber?
