I think one of the undercurrents of our fractured political reality is that basically everyone has come to realize that the people who rule the world do not possess any particularly impressive level of intelligence or capability

This thread is *everything* to me right now, thank you

Exactly. Personal taste is on the chopping block here. This guy has never in his life had a playlist that was like 4 hours of screamcore interspersed with Tori Amos, the Lost Highway soundtrack and one random track of Portugese devotional music, and that's just SAD

Music streaming is indeed a problem in my humble opinion, but the solution is record stores, affordable live music events and music education, not some bot that makes doop-doop noises over a bass-line stolen from The Strokes till your eardrums submit to it

The saddest, emptiest, most miserable wretches ever to crawl the face of the earth are now trying to convince us that music is a "problem" that must be "solved."

I promise I'll stop subposting after this, but uh, dudes*: can you, like, NOT use the Cornell story to promote your book featuring "strong female characters?" In fact could you not use that story to promote your goddamn book at all please? *"Dudes" in the strongly gendered sense.

You don't have to like books that give you complicated feelings but the book is not necessarily malicious, antisocial or written in bad faith just because it made you feel bad. It just wasn't for you, and that too is OKAY.

I just love the implication that Professor Cline must have at some point gotten fed up with academia and started a new chapter in life as a haunted house operator. Living the dream, really.

Actually I do know who needs to hear this bc I'm subposting, but this message is for the general public.

Hey I don't know who needs to hear this but not all books are meant to make you feel warm and safe and secure in your convictions, some books are meant to scare you and then make you angry and leave you unsettled, and THAT IS AN OKAY THING FOR A BOOK TO DO.

The problem with the original film came down to makeup, really. Bc if Dr. Frank-N-Furter had popped out of a sewer promising to make me float, I would have been like hell yes

(I say to myself confidently, as I lift up the sewer grate to follow Garbage Kitty to my doom)

Children who are not afraid of clowns lack survival instincts. Something's gonna get them sooner or later.

Hesse Phillips @hessephillips.com · 29/09/2026

IT never resonated with me because even as a child I would not have followed a clown into the sewer. This guy, on the other hand....

The "social contagion" thing drives me screaming angry. When I was young I had no clue trans ppl existed. I'd never met anyone trans. I saw cruel caricatures in pop culture occasionally. When I realized trans was a thing someone could be, it hit like a lightning bolt. My life felt newly possible.

I'm relatively tolerant of grammatical/ spelling errors, but when people confuse "breath" and "breathe" it makes my eye twitch

Una selección de mis señales favoritas de este tarde en Madrid:

El reverso de una señal de cartón con algunas pegatinas, una con la cara de Ayuso con ojos dibujados como si fuera bizco

Una bandera enorme en el suelo en la Puerta del Sol pintada como un señal de calle en azulejos. Dice, si tocáis lo publico, tomaremos las calles

Una señal en una valla en la Puerta del Sol, con un dibujo de Carapolla. Dice, Almeida dimisión

Una bandera grande colgada en la Puerta del Sol, pintada con un cuadro famoso de Goya al fondo y el texto, Universidad publica

This story is harrowing, still infuriating, and completely relevant to my next book, so of course I have to share it. History is likely strewn with the bodies of women murdered by men for whom their pregnancies were "inconvenient."

Goodbye forever to everything enjoyable, interesting, or even remotely boundary-pushing in US media I guess. Hayes Code II but this time make it permanent.

This is not a brag, this is me, gossip-hound, likely to click on anything that promises juicy drama, saying even I had enough fucking sense not to touch that shit.

I don't think this is a specific threat to a person or group of people Aaron From Trust and Safety I just think you don't like trans women

It's true, the whole thing is just so evocative of that era

Also I want more fashion shows with models that do awesome flips. I might even watch them

What's truly amazing about this clip (and this suit) is that upon first glance I genuinely thought it was a scene from a film circa 1940s or 50s, for no reason other than the fact that suits do not move like this anymore.

You know that thing that happens when someone is actively freezing to death, and they fall into a delirium that convinces them they are really hot and should take all their clothes off? That's where we are as a species. Doomed, delirious, and running naked across the frozen tundra.

Seriously, this is like saying, "Twenty minutes after losing his leg in a random shark attack, Al Gore still thinks someone ought to get him a tourniquet." "After a full 24 hours of experiencing appendicitis symptoms, Al Gore still thinks maybe we should operate."
