what if Harness Your Hopes blew up because Gen Alpha heard people talking about agent harnesses and use TikTok to search for information and DJ Need A Stack had mastered the algorithm 10 years ago? i mean what if.

i have always heard you can get a coupon for a free cup of your own spit if you do this. i hope it worked

When hecklers from the liberal group Code Pink interrupted the Treasury secretary at a Washington restaurant in December and criticized the Trump administration’s economic sanctions policies, Bessent called them ignorant and erupted at the owner of the restaurant for not removing them. According to the owner and also a nearby diner, Bessent spit in his own food before leaving.

the best part about Big Walk is they let you buy it and zoink into an uncanny world with no people or challenges. i guess it would be weird to say "you have no friends" but they should probably block people from even launching anything! maybe someday i will meet a friend who wants to play a game

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

i guess enough time has passed (and culture degraded) that "earnest movie adaptation of 'Antkind'" is on the table. would be a wild 1. not my personal (very) white whale but a great choice if you hate movies

Retrospace is basically EXACTLY like Prey. right down to the unbelievably bland name. it is a pretty good game but mainly good if you really liked Prey

listening to Reasonable Doubt and trying to figure out if it holds up or if it's just pure nostalgia is one of the strangest human experiences i've had thusfar. probably 50/50 but i want to believe it's a zero-sum battle!!!

i think it's way worse than this. i think it's bc people increasingly refuse to meaningfully differentiate between real life tragedies and fictional tragedies, so long as they can appear aggrieved by a tragedy's impact on their emotions.

i consider myself a bit of a DFW buff (i am just being honest, believe me, it is NOT pride) and i had totally never read This is Water until right now. stopped after the second paragraph the tone is just so bad. i believe it sounded ok back then but now it sounds like larry king scolding me

i think this might be an mondegreen, but either way, never put "now i'm reaaaady to sing" in the lyrics of a song you are singing. sends the wrong message

been thinking about/watching Ally McBeal a bunch. so many good things about that show but the theme song is not one of them.

10000 flowers to Rustie for somehow discovering that you can make music sound so unbelievably distorted that it sounds like your speaker is completely destroyed and they still let you post it to digital streaming platforms. this is my sliced bread

wait. so did netflix do the infamous UK Wonka popup too? seems like they would have sued whoever did it, it it wasn't them, since they own the IP? maybe i am forgetting that The Unknown was inserted for differentiation purposes. variety.com/2026/tv/revi...

Netflix Competition ‘Wonka’s The Golden Ticket’ Is a Ghoulish Misuse of AI Gene Wilder: TV Review

A Netflix competition show based on Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' uses an AI-generated Gene Wilder in a disastrous gimmick.

i guess the new move is "AI slop that was probably made by a specific team of humans led by a verified celebrity" but that's also the oldest move of all

finally heard choosin texas on Spectrum NY1 News and i can't believe how unremarkable it is. catchy enough as these things go, but god the "billboard music == AI slop" merger is seemingly fully complete. it's not real™

got a text message from "J Cole" announcing his new brandmark (iirc it is "Indies 5000") and i clicked through and had no idea it was shoes until i read a press release about it on a news site. i guess this is the future of commerce

i can tell you one person who revealed himself to be non-mud to his core: al jourgensen, who demanded the lawn fans stop ripping up and throwing sod during Lollapalooza 92 at the World Music Theater. a true mud man would have cheered them on. the REAL al jourgensen would have been their king
