I think a reason we get so many edits like this is because there’s a type of person - of which I am one - that thinks in chunks of Simpsons dialogue and can place them around to make art like using legos.

Not me, recording another podcast episode about one of my favourite movies with @chatzpod.bsky.social !!!

most of a book about The Shape of Water, "..
ting a fairy tale for troubled times. Foreword by Guillermo del Toro, written by Gina McIntyre." The border of the cover features bmphotos and logos from the movie, and a centerpiece drawing of the Asset embracing a woman underwater with hair flowing. Around the book is a microphone, a glowing keyboard, and a bit of background of a second monitor. "cking do it" is visible at rhat screen's right.

I’ve been kept up late for two weeks now almost every night trying to finish MGSV. Hitting a wall on the literally final mission feels both very defeating and also, strangely, freeing. I’m basically done, I could just walk away!

My main value for the MGS podcasts is having never played these games before, only knowing major plot beats but nothing small. I’m assuming I should go back and save Quiet and also hate Huey? We’ll find out!

I've been really enjoying cozy music while I work, mainly Tiny Habits' new album. But I GOTTA recommend Ziad Rahbani to y'all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4q4... This whole album, Houdou Nisbi, is a staple of the Arab jazz world, and the political message of his work resonates today.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

Allen Ibrahim @aibrahim.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

We’re all really mad right now about the Harry Potter show casting actors we like, so let’s aim that anger at actually not watching the show or covering it, and instead just let the franchise die? Maybe? Get back to me in December when it breaks streaming records and every outlet reviews it.
