The way I interface with the rest of the world seems somewhat off-kilter.
Why is my bank app offering me a ‘wrapped’ but iBooks and Kindle don’t? #books

I can’t find any information about the artist/sculptor anywhere.
FIFA: is the trophy ready yet
Artist: sure is boss; extremely embarrassed and cringing on behalf of the entire world just like you wanted boss
FIFA: ... what
Artist: ...
FIFA: maybe nobody will notice

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

The stunning FIFA peace prize trophy eloquently symbolises the unequal division of goods and labour in the capitalist world system, celebrating Trump’s life work in intensifying and safeguarding these structuring mechanisms. My compliments to the chef. #trump #fifa #trophy #peace

A chase across Paris; the madness of Ted Hughes; a painter goes off-grid in New Zealand; the hunt for a president's love letters; an odd woman and the city; hooptedoodle-free crime; and more.

Me on twelve of the best reissued books of the year:

Is anyone doing that horrible thing where they start reflecting on their year and think about what they want from next year yet? #newyear

This was a marvelous and deeply unnerving character study about identity, man vs nature. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something more literary with quiet shades of horror in the background.

I think I'll forever have a soft-spot for Analgesic Productions' games. No two are alike mechanically or even thematically, but they have a shared dreamlike feel to them. Fragmented worlds, strange prose and the *feel* of what videogames are below the surface.

Their next, Angeline Era, drops soon.
Steam Publisher: Analgesic Productions
We make adventures with experimental twists on classic gameplay, and worlds with unforgettable atmospheres and stories.

Every day, at any moment through the day, you can choose to no longer be a loser ass nigga. You don't have to be perfect not to be a loser. And not being a loser doesn't mean always winning.

But don't be a loser. Nobody wins when losers are around
