Also looks an awful lot like this guy

Michael Emerson from Evil. Who is a cool actor and doesn’t deserve this comparison, but there you go.

I'm sure it's just preference

NYT headline and subhead:

‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ Lenders Pitch Loans for Needs Like Electricity and Rent
The rapid growth of pay-later loans raises questions about whether their popularity is driven by consumer preference or desperation.

Canada just scored, but according to Google AI search they have 9 more goals coming! Exciting time to be alive.

Here on Lenglen watching Khachanov and a new favorite, Marco Trungelitti. He’s fading a little now in the 4th but first two sets were fun, and I love his shaggy pool guy vibe.

Why does every photo of Mike Johnson look like this.

Guardian headline about Congress passing 10-day extension of FISA. Meanwhile Mike Johnson is slipping quietly away with his hand tucked inside his suit jacket pocket, as if he's just received a bribe.

When you know you've made poor online choices and the algorithm is probing to see just how poor

A "finish your look with" collage of stuff. The high-top beige shoes are fine. The bracelet (I think it's a bracelet) is maybe fine, whatever. But there's also some pretty awful clutch-type thing and then some kind of loafer that may be snakeskin, I don't know. It all just says "you have enough money to be stupid, why not be even stupider?"

What I think every time I go on LinkedIn because I know I should promote my book, and also every other time I go online

The "What a stupid time to be alive" comic. It's nice. A woman standing by a window looking at a cityscape, arms crossed, lost in thought, saying "What a stupid time to be alive." What nobody talks about is that there are what appear to be faux shutters lining the window *on the inside.* It's distracting but only if you think about it.

The answer to every headline is always no.

Two side-by-side op-ed video links from the NYT, with these headlines: "Trump Says Opening the Strait of Hormuz 'Should Be Easy'. Will it?" and "Did Jesus Rise From the Dead?"

Cover of Invisibilia, with an invisible guy whose hat just fell off, and maybe his head is a cloud of smoke

Guardian’s shade game is top notch.

Guardian text: “Michael Rappaport, an actor who in 2001 appeared in Dr Doolittle 2 and now hosts a podcast, has been a frequent critic of Mamdani.”

ARC and cover drop. Invisibilia, coming from Slant Books in April. Coffee is extra. #booksky #writingcommunity #coverdrop #shortstories

Book cover for Invisibilia, short story collection. Cover shows an invisible guy in a blazer with his hat falling off. Also a nice looking mug of coffee. All in all, looks like something you’ll want to read.

Something uniquely sad and eerie about coming across an abandoned playground in the woods. But also this is just what all our playgrounds in New Jersey looked like when I was a kid, so it takes me back.

Watching ManU and Bournemouth, and every time it's a solid blue v solid red match-up I think of the objectively greatest toy of all time.

The greatest toy of all-time, the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

I don’t know why people say macarons are sooooo difficult. Note the characteristic feet on these pistachio garbage cookies.

What I like most about this monkey lamp - and there is a lot to like - is the way he seems to be turning back to look at you before entering the room, as if to say: Come with me if you want to live.

Light fixture that looks like a very serious monkey holding a torch

I saw something about sharing the published work you’re most proud of from this year. It’s been a quiet year. So here’s a note I took in April. I never wrote the story but I’m proud of the note.

Note which reads: Old guy story. From red notebook. Something about dogs. They weren’t allowed as kids. So they had an imaginary dog they took turns caring for. Then one day he told Roger the dog was dead."

"It’s Tuesday." I’d want to move to Oslo because of this, but even more I want to see this as not crazy right here. To just take care of each other and happily pay for that kind of world. Because it’s f-ing normal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s been said before but one of the best things about BS is the intoxicating weirdness of the contextless reposts. I refuse to go deeper because I like the mystery.

It’s more than 30 years old but this is such a wild and brilliant scream of a book. Each page hums with intelligence and rage. But it’s funny too, and raw, and like nothing I’ve ever read.
