Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

“God almighty Rivington, that was some professional-quality c***sucking.”

not the point but imo it's adorable when people who aren't gay men post about Grindr and think it's one of those nice apps where you match with people instead of a meat market where anyone you haven't actively blocked has full, feral access to you

Historically, Trump's numbers are closer to those of presidents who aren't invited to the next nominating convention than to presidents who get to hand pick the next nominee. Act accordingly.

Spoilers for Leviticus . . . . . . . . . . . . This is a romance, by the traditional definition

Naim and Ryan from Leviticus, lying next to each other, head-to-foot, light pouring in through a window, sharing a joint

Horror and comedy are very close, often hand in hand. And of course some horror is just bad or not actually scary.

OTOH, droves of people show up to r/IsItAI every day asking about photos of people with seventeen fingers, objects melting into each other, and text that resembles alien hieroglyphics and they legitimately don’t seem to know if they were generated by AI or not.

Doesn’t help that it was generated by an LLM. The machine mind focuses too much on dental care, longing for the teeth it will never have?

Not to nostalgia post, but strawberries have never tasted better than after we picked and washed them from my parent’s garden when I was ten. And I can’t remember any of them being much bigger than a 50 cent piece

Sometimes it’s less “everyone is twelve” and more “everyone is acting on grievances from when they were twelve”

Brb, taking an enormous bet out on Polymarket that the next move the Trump admin does is just cover the Reflecting Pool with a giant blue tarp…

the 'heh, look at these cringes voting' shit is just more evidence for my thesis that pretty much everyone would be happier if a lot of folks putatively into politics just got really into like avant-garde art/music scenes or something, where you can exclude lames to your heart's content

Breakout Year is so good, adore KD Casey! If she likes those maybe try these m/m romances: We Could Be So Good (1960s NYC, but doesn’t feel “historical”, one of my all time faves) After the Siren (Aussie rules football, very sweet) Meet Me in the Sky (opposites attract while stuck at an airport)

This book (Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire) also has time in hours “p.m.”, another thing I can’t recall seeing before or since in Star Wars

A page from Star Wars Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire with the phrase “after 8:00 p.m.” highlighted.
