iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

GET ON THIS GUYS. I just checked and a standard one-year subscription in $50 which may be a reach, totally get it; if you want to try a 6-month subscription it's only $30 and you can see if it's a good fit. (Alternatively, hmu and I'll send you a gift sub for 6 months.)

Today in Girl, Dump Him: a couple is packing up an uber aka the woman is doing all the work AND wrangling their two very anxious dogs while the dude is fucking on his phone and telling her about his sportsbook. Uber driver and GF both look ready to drive off and leave dude behind

As someone who grew up going to Hawkeyes games (yes I lived in Iowa City as well as Philly when I was a kid, I got around) this was a real thrill on multiple levels. (Spoilers: GOP dipshit mixes up the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes and accuses Smith of perjury before Klobuchar corrects him)

My parents would take me to this museum once a month when we lived in Philly; I still have such intense sense-memories of the space. I went to visit it again as an adult (20 years ago yipes) and it was clear even then that the funding had dried up, but it was still magical to me. What a loss.

Rewatching "Death Valley" and it reaffirms my theory that GOT and HOTD got some of the best actors in the world and then got the absolute worst performances out of them, seemingly on purpose. Both Gwyneth Keyworth Steffan Rhodri were totally wasted on GOT & HOTD and are BRILLIANT in Death Vaelley

Am sick and sulking so I tried "A Woman of Substance" because there's nothing better than Brenda Blethyn Is A Turbo Bitch: The Miniseries. But I couldn't get over how all the "hot" actors looked like they had their iphones stuffed in their pockets and were aping accents they'd learned off youtube

Went to see PRIMETIME with @merelyn.bsky.social and the whole movie is like being unpleasantly high—not exactly a bad trip, but Not Great Bob—and having Robert Pattinson make faces at you for two hours. (Merritt Weaver was of course perfect, she's the best thing about the movie as per usual.)

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait — are you telling me that terrible-looking movie that Amazon's trying to trick me into watching is based on a Reylo fic? And the guy they got to play Kyle Benji is Daisy Ridley's HUSBAND?

The "I GUESS" meme: a grumpy looking guy with a button-up shirt and a tie has his arms crossed in the first panel, with a primo D-face going on, and in the second he has his arms thrown up and is saying "I GUESS." I sadly do not know who the original artist is responsible for this comic, for which you can feel free to chastise me at your leisure.

HEYO a whole other reason to try out Zombies, Run! is an AMA with Alderman, who also wrote The Power as well as Disobedience and a whole heap of other amazing books. Blows my mind that she's taking over the ZR app just because she loves it so much, truly a mensch walks among us.

OK the new Tommy & Tuppence show with Antonia Thomas (exact right mix of twinkly-eyed and freaked-out) and Josh Dylan (who plays 'concussed by love and also worry' very well) and Imelda Staunton (goddess supreme) is EXTREMELY charming, it's set in the modern day but still works beautifully

Every morning I pass one of those froufy bakeries that always has a line out the door (often down the block) and I think smugly "lol can't POSSIBLY be worth it" I deeply regret to report that today (due to rain) there was no line, so I went in and ordered something and it is, indeed, worth it

One of the few reasons I miss Old Twitter is that I, a Brooklynite, can no longer observe a dozen or so cops racing down Atlantic and search Twitter for "cops Atlantic" or even "cops Brooklyn" and get any definitive answer as to what is going on.

So does anybody have a language app they'd recommend? I used to really enjoy Duolingo, but its constant harping on me to upgrade my membership plus their use of AI turned me off a while back. I've tried Babbel and it just isn't very enjoyable. I'm looking to learn Italian if that helps at all

I wasn't using it much anymore but about two years ago I abruptly lost access at all to my twitter account and after FUCKING TWO YEARS of fighting Evilon I finally got it back (mostly to say "find me on bluesky lol") but man, 2-years-ago me knew exactly what I was in for:

Screencap of two tweets of mine from 2026/6/18:

The first is a quote-tweet of @westerosies that says "Bertie Carvel has been cast as Baelor Targaryen in HBO's "A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS" with a picture of the promo pic for the show and a random red carpet pic of Carvel looking somewhat constipated. My response is "I THOUGHT I WAS FREE"

The second tweet is another QT, this time of @snisktim that says "he's hot, enough for me," to which I responded "This person gets it"

I'm extraordinarily funny and also really really predictable.
