And now, a few things that have been on my mind, but not enough to fill up their own posts.

ain’t it fun

Grace Helbig is returning to YouTube. She made a video about it, and said something that resonated with me: we start out doing something because it is fun, and we keep doing it because we enjoy how fun it is. If we’re lucky, the thing we are doing for fun...

That young Republican group chat reminds me of every single police group chat that’s ever been leaked.

Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda.

We won’t back down.

On Oct. 18, we’re telling this wannabe dictator: America belongs to us.

They played the Whisky -- THE WHISKY -- before I knew they existed. I'll be bummed about that for the rest of my life. They'll never play a venue that size, again.

If you're going to condescendingly shake your head at me when I am celebrating something that's bringing me joy, you could at least make the effort to correctly spell my name.

No matter the team, we all got to experience a whole range of emotions in this game.

I love playoff baseball so much!

I absolutely love Rocky Horror. Weirdly, I don't categorize it as a musical in my head; it's more of a cultural touchstone for me that goes beyond a lot of definitions.

I've never seen the play, though. I'd love to do that, someday.

I feel like I need to go walk off all the stored up tension from that Dodgers Brewers game. Holy crap.

Literally the first time I've ever heard it, and I'm obsessed with Robert Preston's performance.

And I get the reference in your handle, which makes me feel neat.

I forgot to type that I was on my way to The Music Man.

Robert Preston oh my god. This is so much fun.

I'll be back on my punk and goth bullshit soon enough, but until then, today's musical theater kick is filling me with more joy than I ever thought possible.

As a longtime gamer who loves tabletop gaming so much I created a show to celebrate it, I am so grateful to our friendly local game shops. They are the cornerstone of our hobby, and I love it so much that you're spotlighting them. Play more games!

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”
