idk dude seems kinda like you’re lying
It is July of 2023. My terrible girlfriend is having a birthday party at my house. Being terrible, she has very few friends, so the guest list is six of my friends and two people she just met. I understand that I’m laying it on thick here. I hate this girl.

Weezy but make it Walu
Screenshot of article’s ending, including beginning of author bio: This is not a matter of another online post sparking debate, but a testament that young professionals with fresh ideas are willing to speak boldly for their rights. The simplicity of this intern has sparked conversations about fostering openness and creative problem-solving in modern workplaces. WHY? Because such situations are a reminder that insights from a new perspective can be straightforward and impactful. Surprising it is. Aditya Farrad Aditya is a seasoned business expert and the founder of Moneymint. With years of experience
German cover art for The Player of Games, under the title of Das Spiel Azad. The art is reminiscent of Giorgio de Chirico, with a black and white checkered floor surrounded by mountains whose distance seems somehow both near and far. Floating above the floor are a metal sphere and a column with three floating, disconnected segments. This contemplative vibe serves the book better, I think, than any of the other cover art I found for it online.

“It’s the new botox. Celebs seem to have zero sense for what is a healthy level of use. (I don’t judge people for doing things to their own body, but overdoing it in the public eye is so irresponsible).

Al Columbia drawing. A young boy and girl drawn in an old fashioned cartoon art style frantically filling buckets in a room filled with buckets, living brains with tails, and an unknown liquid. Both the situation and their goal are unclear.
Mid-thread post from Bechdel Pest: I mean, it’s at least debatable-what do you think the Marines do? More or less what ICE does in Minneapolis and Los Angeles? A senator can at least plead ignorance (which is probably why Platner wants the job, lol) Reply from bukee.bsky.social: ??? What the fuck are you talking about? You understand the chain of command, right? You understand that one acts over the orders of the other?
Shot from Michael Clayton. A gray-haired white man walking purposefully down an alley. Tucked under his arm is a large paper bag from which emerges the ends of at least fifteen baguettes.
Shot from I Saw the TV glow. A CRT screen within the frame shows a bizarre face looking straight into the camera. Its mask-like, humanoid features are emerging from a larger surface that looks like the moon but also fungal, with strange and irregular edges.
Shot from The Company of Wolves. A closeup of a bird’s nest containing some downy white feathers, four small, mottled, blue and grey stones shaped like eggs, and a small circular mirror which perfectly reflects a young girl’s face.
A 4.5-star Letterboxd review: This probably isn’t actually better than Wrath of Khan I’m probably just in a better mood but I had a blast with this, I love Christopher Lloyd’s weird lizard dog thing, I love the alien barcade, I love that McCoy thinks he won all those arguments with Spock, I love all my friends doing a little scheme, I love Uhura’s big moment, I love finding out that Vulcans fuck with their hands, I love when Kirk’s masterful maneuvers are just like “What if I told a lie tee hee hee,” I love Star Trek. However, I will say that my ultimate measure for a Trek installment’s quality is “How much profound shit does Spock get to say,” and by that measure thus far The Motion Picture reigns supreme. Suck it, everybody else in the world.
The world that’s been built up around us, the selves we’re asked to inhabit, are such tie-your-wrists, steal-the-air-from-your-lungs bullshit that they can only be dismantled by gouging, gashing, slicing, slashing. The potential for this violence suffuses every moment, and its suppression is just another kind of violence. A more honest society would just peel my fucking skin off.

I know what the problem is. This insight is not a remedy. Just let me do this.”

Your opinion
“it's one thing if you have an allergy or ethical principle against eating animal products, but otherwise saying you don't like mayonnaise is like saying you hate the color orange, or can't stand musical quarter notes”
“The music is lovely. Slow, simple beats on a drum kit with fuzz bass and guitar creating a meditative atmosphere while doing as little as possible. Some of it feels influenced by Eastern musical traditions, but none of it feels touristy. It is clearly a product of genuine reverence and passion, an egoless creative drive rooted in a need to provide something of spiritual value to the world. Since 2021, they have released ten albums and EPs, ranging in length from 18 minutes to over two hours. Many of the Bandcamp pages for their releases have a few explanatory paragraphs illuminating something about the underlying Buddhist ideas. I have used Dhyana to meditate a number of times. Each time, I must rise to meet the music where it is. Each time, I am rewarded. I’m especially fond of their album Satori, and the 48-minute single-track album Dzogchen is a marvel of rigorously patient simplicity.”

Poster for The Humans
“If guilty pleasures are out of date, perhaps the time has come to conceive of a guilty displeasure. This is not like the nagging regret I have about, say, never learning to like opera. My aversion to Dion more closely resembles how put off I feel when someone says they're prolife or a Republican: intellectually I'm aware how personal and complicated such affiliations can be, but my gut reactions are more crudely tribal.”
“All of this will be laid down in our subconscious. My personal experience is that once I became adept at spotting the glimmer, I noticed that most of the women that triggered it fit into broad categories defined by the adult women who were present in my life as a child. I’m beginning to notice the clusters of traits that I now realise are evocative of a certain notion of womanliness, which can be anchored to an important role model from my youth. This is in a non-literal sense. I don’t actually seek out versions of my old teachers or family friends. I’m not weird. I am normal.”
