Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

we need a word for when a vaguely poor taste joke isn’t unfunny because it’s not woke enough, but because it’s just a poorly-written joke. “hack” isn’t it, since hack jokes can still be well-written but tired premises

A wooden box with the words “Sin Eater” carved in long elegant script across the top. There are red marks (fingerprints?) across the box as if it’s stained with blood.

Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.

there is a throwaway visual gag in the show Widow’s Bay where there’s an old 60’s era tabletop game called TEETH and the only thing inside of it is a pair of pliers and idk how to explain it but that is exactly the vibe i’m trying to capture with my games

The “direct relationship” line is such paternalistic bullshit. It just means “we prefer conversations where we can tell you to jump and you have to ask how high.” A union is still a “direct relationship” - just one between equals instead of one between superior and inferior.

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”
