Taking time off from watching Stranger Things, a show I couldn't care less about, to play Mau, a card game I despise: being a parent.

Weird! Just the other day I was trying to remember the name of the candidate for, uh--borough president, maybe?--that I voted for just because she was so hot (she greeted me at the top of the subway stairs on time).
Menin says she'll work with Mamdani "on a shared agenda that makes New York more affordable."

This is, by far, the most sincerely happy I've ever seen Trump look.

They should reuse the green makeup for a series of PSAs where she plays a character named Cynthia Enviro

Dick Cheney just passed by. In a hearse, obviously: the first time a fucking noisy stupid motorcade for that jerkoff didn't bug me.

The Vince Staples Show veers wildly between funny, spooky, bitterly ironic, ridiculously charming, and unpredictably, suddenly, tragically violent, and as such my guess is that it probably does a really accurate job of portraying what it's like to be Black in America.

Are half the people on Bluesky aspiring novelists or is it just my feed for some reason?

I just heard an interviewer of NPR say "The average American voted for Trump," just a preposterous, radically inaccurate statement.

Nope. I refuse to look up who "Ryan Lizza" is.

Top five film genres:

• any Groundhog Day-type deal

• the Planet of the Apes sequels where other animals become super-smart and kill all the people that I wrote in my head

• Tarantino rewrites history

• post-apocalyptic hoo-ha and soforth

• the Aubrey-Maturin Extended Nautical Universe
Top five film genres:

- someone is so horny that they die

- more uh-ohs for the working class

- movies everyone thinks are boring but me

- science fiction made for as little money as possible and is sort of about social issues

- something bad is happening in Japan or possibly France
Top five film genres:

guy goes looking for Alfredo Garcia's head
guy joins the army and finds he can't die, uses this to figure out how to defeat the aliens after dying horribly about 1000 times
80s italian zombie movies
woman meets Cary Grant, he's an asshole, they fall in love
same but John Wayne
