It's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know.

“It’s only fascism if they manipulate elections!” “It’s only fascism if they disappear people off the street!” “It’s only fascism if they take over the media!” “It’s only fascism if they jail their political opponents!” Is there even anything left?

I wish every video game company a very nice UNIONIZE

hhhholy moly

Me, a stomach type: I'm gonna write some Halloween poems Robert Bly, an iron-type: I don't understand that

"We've all found a rock relatable at some point in our lives." It's true, and if you haven't found a rock relatable yet, that rock is out there for you

Watched The Batman (2022) last night and they really just deleted all but two notes from the Star Wars Imperial March and called it a day

This is such a bonkers fantasy to me. Preferences? Bro I barely HAVE preferences. It's the art which creates the desire in me, not the other way around

This will be the moment David Lynch II uses for Bob Jr to enter our reality

I love that for the whole 5 minutes she's got at least one hand on her reality hat, which keeps threatening to blow away. That's poetry for ya

It was probably that Rosalia review that sealed the deal

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.

I was sold on seeing this already, but Matt Berry and Peter Serafinowicz in the same place is just cheating

Need something to play this weekend? Here's a selection of indie games we've been into lately: 🧵

I hadn't read Larissa Szporluk before and this collection absolutely floored me. This poetry is wild and mean and transformative

obsessed with this poem by CAConrad. the empire will tax your soul! I prefer the forests making blankets from themselves!!

I'm proud of every issue, but each time feels new. Love this project and these poets, brave enough to do the anonymous poetry-essay exchange!

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

"Can I show you a strange room, Whitby?"

If I were emperor for a day, one change I'd make: In every political race, at every level, at least the *first* debate would be replaced by a simple test of knowledge. How do taxes work? What agency is responsible for what? Is your area growing or shrinking in population? Just basic stuff.

I am getting WAY into Vholume. The mechanics are so simple and smooth, each level is like falling/flying through someone else's dream. So good, dudes. AND it's like 8 bucks

I reviewed Twin Peaks Season 3 Episode 8, the greatest television episode of all time, for @popheist.com. Drink full and descend.

when one finally reaches 35 years old, they go on a journey around the kanto region to teach pokemon how to smoke

It's Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks. The show takes place inside the cavern of her absence. bsky.app/profile/tims...

Everyone calling him Tony Stark in like 2013 broooke his brain

to have your men eaten on one island may be regarded as a misfortune; to have them eaten on two looks like carelessness.

Got to see the Melvins play in Detroit tonight. They seem to have discovered the true note beneath all other notes, and they are not afraid of JAMMING on that thing

I'm way more likely to pay extra for the Geology Lecture version of a flight than for checked bags

I have never seen someone so flummoxed by the concept of feeding people lmao
