Time and Tide

It is still okay to make fun of someone who dances like absolute shit in the Good Dancing Olympics. It always was and always will be

just heard the wandering gambler and legendary blind swordsman Zatoichi is in town so i'm gonna go get a bunch of easy, consequence free money by blatantly cheating at dice. can't believe no one else ever thought of this

NUTRIA for Christ's sake #spellingbee

Fuck robots. I hate robots. Robots are our enemies. I will never root for a robot

Hemingway's baby shoes has nothing on the economy or affective power of these two words. I'm in pieces.

Leftists need to think twice about acting like the Tea Party did against incumbent Republicans! All it got them was complete control of the party, ironclad support within it for their views, and every branch of government.

James Dolan waited until the NYPD has secured all the Knicks parade attendees in their "viewing pens" before taking out his guitar and performing the single most appalling version of "When Doves Cry" in human history.

Just heard @davidepstein.bsky.social say on a podcast: “At this point, if you aren’t actively structuring your own attention, someone else is structuring it for you.” This is a familiar sentiment, but the framing feels revelatory. Our brains are being deformed. By massive companies. For profit.

No matter what you or I might think about the editing at the NYT these days, or how much Trump pretends he doesn't care, he *does* care a lot about what the Times says. So I'm really glad they are saying this. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

We can’t afford to take any chances. It’s time to sink the hantavirus ship, and all other cruise ships. No survivors.

What's wrong with BRUIT? #spellingbee

EXIGENCE for fuck's sake #spellingbee

Come on, Spelling Bee. “Concomitant” is a perfectly good word! #SpellingBee #NYTSpellingBee

CATAMITE, you cowards. #spellingbee

The Dept. of Appearing to Take Things Rather Seriously While Wearing a Navy Sport Coat and No Tie is actively searching for a Dean of Comfortably Ordering Wine in a DC Steakhouse Where Denny Hastert Used to Sit Right Over There. The position will pay $580,000. The history department is abolished

Living in the trump era makes me feel very connected to my ancestors, who lived as serfs under a succession of insane moron god kings

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

"But they're sweet things. And in the spring, it's touching to notice them making their first discovery of love. As if nobody had ever known it before." -Blanche DuBois, "A Streetcar Named Desire"

Cannot even comprehend the mind that doesn’t find the idea of the “AI actress” completely repellant not to mention stupid

Gutted to hear that Kaleb Horton has died. He was a generationally talented writer and a great guy. This fucking sucks.

Fuck debate. Debate is stupid

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa have been hired by a high society dowager to move a piano up some stairs in time for her stately dinner party

Twin Peaks, 30 Rock, The Comeback, Mad Men

LODEN is too recondite for the NY Times? #spellingbee

AI folks have now discovered “thinking”

A very cool technology that allows students to interact with John Maynard Keynes’ ideas as he develops them is called a book

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

CHILBLAIN, goddammit. #spellingbee

Hey Siri, what’s the NBA version of Jonathan Safran Foer divorcing his wife because he thought he had a chance with Natalie Portman?

They say the worst podcast episode in human history doesn't exist...

The letters I cannot write in cursive anymore because we live in a degraded society are J, Q, and perhaps most embarrassingly: Z.

Unless their demands are met

I just don’t see how an Executive Order saying Mike Love was the real genius in the Beach Boys could be legally binding

The problem with American political discourse is that you can’t explain the impact of tariffs to people dumb enough to think DEI programs cause plane crashes.

I've tried every spelling variant of POPPADOM I can think of to no avail. #spellingbee

It's kind of amazing what happens when you cut news out of your life. I have no idea what people are talking about on social media now. I don't care about RFK or whatever. I have my own life to live and that doesn't help me live it in any way. The *only* tangible thing it does is generate anxiety.
