it is possible to discover my answer to this question using only the materials in front of you!

I don’t know how this spontaneously generated a link to nothing, but I’m leaving it because it’s funny.

I would read 365 books, watch 365 movies, watch 365 episodes of television, go to 104 concerts, play 50 videogames, and still feel behind on all the good art out there.

A screenshot of a Threads post the gist of which is “Wendy and Captain Hook are not love interests in my book.”

I sniff the earth, gather a handful of dust into my palm, and scatter it to the wind, a thousand deaths and torments chiseled into my furrowed brow. “Something terrible happened here,” I intone.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026, dir. Nia DaCosta)

Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

This is single handedly the funniest scene from any Star Trek

But it has been probably the greatest honor of my life to represent indigent people threatened by the blunt hammer of the State, and I will never forget these years or the many wonderful people I worked alongside and for.

After about 7 years, I have officially stopped being a public defender. It is a very bittersweet feeling. I am looking forward to my new job, and am also looking forward to the greater work-life balance it will afford.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Oh I am so bad on the phone these days. Even with autocorrect my texts are full of typos

What I *am* is trailer trash who somehow became a lawyer, and so speaking as a member of that relevant demographic, JD Vance continues to be a tiresome, venal excuse for a human being.

I am not Catholic. I am unlikely to become Catholic. I try very hard not to talk about Catholic Stuff accordingly, as I am, alas, inherently a Protestant guy. But I think the adult convert JD Vance lecturing The Pope on theology is very funny.

It’s important for the POPE to be CAREFUL when he speaks on matters of THEOLOGY

Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

Happy Robert E. Lee Surrenders Day, everybody!

A Beefcake Sorcerer in King Arnthor’s Court On King Ludd, Tolkien, and Gene Wolfe's "The Wizard Knight"

Good essay on The Wizard Knight here: open.substack.com/pub/gnosticp...

Look down, DHS, and you will find that you clutch there the same hammer and nails that were used on the first Good Friday.

The episode is back on Spotify. It was automatically removed because of, and I am not kidding here, we were potentially infringing on the rights of "third-party literary material."

That's right: we read too much book.

Listen to Shelved By Genre, the show with so much book it's illegal.

Selling misc. bullshit looted weapons and armor to your local blacksmith. That lifelong craftsman does not want to buy 80 tons of kobold spears and rusty scimitars! He should banish me from the store for even suggesting it!

Great Journalism changes how you see the world. Old Man Murray's Time To Crate system was great journalism.

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

It’s genuinely a challenge for legal journalists to cover the birthright citizenship case, because one side’s argument is “the Fourteenth’s Amendment intent and text and a century of uninterrupted Supreme Court precedent all support birthright citizenship,” and the other side’s argument is “nuh-UH”

there's probably a less millennial way to put this but i think books about the civil war have a real "when do they get to the fireworks factory" problem before grant shows up

Grant biographies are like Grant tries a money-making venture, fails/gets swindled. skip ahead 30 pages. Grant tries a money-making venture, fails/gets swindled. skip ahead 30 pages. Grant's farm fails. skip ahead 30 pages. Grant re-joins the U.S. Army and becomes Mars.

We love seeing Frederick show up today! Thank you for being out there — every photo, every face, every voice matters. We are making history together. No kings. No Camps.
