Today’s my birthday! It’s been a hellish year but I’m hanging in there. I’d love if people checked out my podcasts for my birthday, or maybe shared some of their favorites with their own followers. I have bunches!

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

i don't mean this even to chastise. i mean i saw so many people extrude so many possible readings of what the cheesecake factory "means" to various normative but distinct ideas of "a person in the united states of america" that it was stunning. a million chalk sketches of society from the inside out

I do not know how many people I had to ask to finally find my way to S— Street, which is indicated on no map of the major metropolis in which I spent those inquiring months, but now that I have been there and seen for myself what dwells among their trashcans, I do not believe I shall return.

if my dad got disturbingly obsessed with spirals I’d probably do what I do for all his weird hobbies: buy him a cheap shirt off amazon that says like “Yeah, I’m A Spiral Dad”

Middle-Earth goes nuts as SBG's new episode on The Silmarillion introduces vampires and werewolves (enough to populate a whole island), princesses locked in treehouses making ropes out of hair, and evil recurring side characters and their talking dog from heaven: rangedtouch.com/2026/10/23/t...

my biggest impact on the internet is that i am the original inventor of the computer monitor. i got tired of having to print out every game and website on paper so in 2005 i invented a wire that let me plug my computer into a film projector so i could do "live visual computing"
