This is obnoxious to say but the Panda Bear and Sonic Boom album that was released only physically and not on streaming might be my favorite album this year

It doesn't appear to be on Bluesky yet but there's a video circulating of Vivek Ramaswamy trying and struggling to lift a child that's one of the funnier things I've seen this year

Again is there any way democrats could have more than one skilled communicator deliver this very effective line? Like all at the same time? Like coordinated in some way?

The second sentence exclamation point is probably my least favorite internet-speak thing in the world, and it's been happening for like 10 years. "I've noticed a lot of people dip their veggies in ranch dressing. And maybe that's fine! But..." Shut the fuck up

Gross looking red and pointy mushroom growing out of grass. I don’t feel like looking up what it’s called.

A lot of people are on edge today and the vibes are not great. Why don't we all just relax, kick back, put on the hit song Choosin' Texas by Ella Langley, and chill out.

Extremely possible (likely) that Trump is the only very special boy who can get away with this but the next Democratic president should at least attempt, for the first couple months of their administration, just making shit up

OpenAI announced today that the company had made the difficult decision to discontinue ChatGPT after the controversial artificial intelligence chatbot claimed to have never heard the chart-topping hit “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley. “It’s either lying or pretending to be cool,” Sam Altman said.

my tiny story about chili is up at @matchbooklitmag.bsky.social
Chilly Chili

by Benjamin Niespodziany

I asked the staff how many types of chili they have. Texas red, I said, of course. Cincinnati, I'm sure. Chile Verde, white chili, classic. But do you have Frito Pie as well? Am I missing any? Do you have any others? Are you out of any at the moment? Please, give it to me straight. Sir, said the shy employee, this is a Sweetgreen.

I wanted to scream. I could tell I was annoying him. I know it is, I said. I know it is, son, but I also know you have some chili back there. Stop lying to me.

He hesitated, started his sentence five times, then replied, I have some white chili my mom packed me for lunch that I didn't finish. How much? I asked. How much did she pack me or how much is left? He said.

No, I said, how much to take it off your hands? Your mom's chili is in demand, son. I'm begging you.

$4.42 will do, he said. I paid in pennies. He hated me. There was no one else around. He went in the back and brought out the chili. He told me to eat it there because he needed to bring home the Tupperware. I thanked him again and again. The chili was delicious. It didn’t need to be heated or seasoned. It didn’t need anything. It was perfect exactly how it was, in a Sweetgreen on a Tuesday evening, slightly buzzed, in love with the hell of the world, eating the last of a new friend's chili as he counted my pennies, his pennies. They're his pennies now.

The recently discovered new cat has disappeared. "There was never a new cat," a visibly nervous zoologist announced, speaking from prepared remarks. "There's no such thing as a new cat. Everyone needs to stop talking about this immediately."

Just in terms of sheer chaos Threads remains unrivaled as a social media platform. Logging on is such a uniquely deranging experience, I've never encountered anything like it in all my years of being on the internet
Threads post with photo of Capitol One Arena in DC filled with people, which is in Chinatown, which has existed for like a hundred years. Text: I’ve never been this far up in this place. Also: Since when does D.C. have a Chinatown? That wasn’t a thing last time I lived in the area.

There’s a typo in the new trailer for Nathan Fielder‘s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, but then I thought maybe that’s part of the bit somehow? And then I realized that’s what I’m trying to achieve as well. To be able to make a mistake and have everyone be like oh maybe that’s just on purpose.
