JK Rowling’s transphobia has ruined Harry Potter. That is a shame, there was a real magic in the fantasy of it. As a kid, I always loved imagining going to private coed boarding school. Inheriting a big pile of money. Drinking non alcoholic beer. Owning a little slave guy

X has made a comeback with some communities, namely AI and tech, but it is not Twitter of old. On X, users have been spreading the name of a woman they think is Cornell's Jane Doe. One particular post doxed a woman's address and phone numbers and was viewed 1.4 million times.

I whooped, triumphantly accepted the little red Triceratops and handed it to my grateful son. Then I looked over at the line of 7 little children staring in surprise at the grown man who had just celebrated kicking their ass.

Please stop calling me on my phone that's not what it's for

In the land of bullet points, the Paragraph Man is king.

NEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.

In "The Good Place" or "Defending Your Life," afterlife statisticians compile meticulous data from your life. If ever given the chance to ask, I would want to know exactly how many times I have ever tapped the "Delete" key.

If you are dying to have this as a poster, I'll make some tomorrow: www.etsy.com/listing/4582...

Wrote it with Rob Smigel. And yes, it was pulled from reruns.

I thought an important aspect of being a sniper is camouflage and stealth. Will the guys manning the arch be outfitted with white uniforms and gold helmets? Maybe they’ll be all silver like street performers.

"60 Minutes. More like 60 viewers!"

“Mr. Six” McConnell.

To mark the 60th anniversary of the debut of Star Trek and the 52nd anniversary of President Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon, I hereby pardon Paramount for Star Trek V, seasons 1 & 2 of Picard, and the puppet episode of Strange New Worlds. #StarTrek

just got arrested for going up to a police officer while wearing meta glasses and saying "computer, transfer $100,000 from this officer's bank account into my account" and then waving my hands like a magician

Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.

Happy birthday to a MST3K OG.

We need an annual summer holiday where stores start stocking up ten weeks early on pesto-flavored everything.

Ten weeks is too much run-up time to Halloween and ten minutes is too little time to take all that shit down on November 1.

“Hire me Phillip Eng” 🤣 www.reddit.com/r/mbta/s/4fq...

Mamdani is succeeding in part by projecting joy Ossoff is succeeding in part by projecting steely ferocity We’re in a moment when attitude is nearly as powerful as ideology, because we all need courage. And these are two ways of summoning it

“I was asked not to mention the Times at all. I’m choosing not to honor that norm, b/c silence abt how accountability journalism gets suppressed is itself a form of suppression.” Read the back story of how @nytimes.com and @thebulwark.com killed @adambonica.bsky.social’s piece. What a mf badass.

Woke 1 this morning The world turned upside down, Thing's ain't been the same Since the Blues walked into town.

Dr. Strange’s spell includes everyone in-universe forgetting that Peter Parker is 23 and looks 33.

Yet another distraction from bad news. If he starts going to events dressed in a tan suit, head for the bunkers.

If Fauci had come back with "I'm a guy who would never ignore his son-in-law beating the shit out of his own daughter," I'd have asked for his hand in marriage.

@joshtpm.bsky.social Another O.G. writes from the trenches about what 2026 has brought to the news websites. "Over the past 5-10 years or so, social media platforms went from prioritizing news traffic to burying it."

A "60 Minutes correspondent" is a full-time investigative journalist who researches, writes, and hosts in-depth segments. Ross Douthat will fail not due to his headful of lazy ideas but the demands of a full-time gig. He hasn't put in a solid 40-hour work week in decades. It will break him.

Think of the saddest thing that happened in your childhood, multiply it by 100, and see how it compares to these 36 seconds

For God’s sake, Siri, I never say “gonna.”

Can someone explain what “prime time” is, as if to someone under 60 years old? Is it an Amazon thing?

Why “brief and sudden illness” but not “unexpectedly”?
