This is obviously because I spend so much time worrying about water usage at data centers

A social media thread consisting of two connected posts about extreme hydration.
• Top Post: A text post by user Lauren (@lauren.rotatingsandwich...) that reads, "crushing your hydration goals isn't enough. you need to ritually humiliate hydration goals. enact such heinous crimes against hydration goals that hydration goals' children swear an oath of vengeance".
• Bottom Post: A reply by user Jonathan Slater (@jonathanslater.b...) that reads, "The cat drink". It includes an extreme close-up image of a white and tabby cat aggressively licking at a rapid stream of running water, captioned at the bottom with the misspelled word "dring".

Aimed at investors, so it misses what's actually important about this trend, which is the death of the public accountability standard. Business, even valued at billions, will be operating in realms totally outside public reporting/scrutiny. A capital-formation shock doctrine response to COVID & 2008

An informational graphic or social media post by Emily Zheng, a Senior Research Analyst in Venture Capital. The text details a structural shift in how startups approach Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and private valuations, particularly driven by changes starting in 2022 and the rise of AI.Transcript:By Emily ZhengSenior Research Analyst, Venture CapitalFor decades, the math was simple: outgrow private capital, then go public to raise more.Yet starting in 2022, when venture activity first slowed, startups found ways to stay private longer: round sizes got bigger, and secondaries made pre-exit liquidity easier to attain.Now, IPOs are no longer simply a capital-raising event, a change rooted in structural shifts in venture rather than a temporary side effect of the market’s sluggishness.Underneath that choice is a pricing problem.AI has pushed private valuations into another stratosphere, while public markets are still pricing off revenue and margins that have not kept up. Median Series D+ valuations went from $137 million in 2016 to over $2 billion through H1 2026. However, public markets are not paying these prices. For example, Chime went public at a 63.4% markdown from its private market peak.

From now on when I say things "have gone pear-shaped," I mean I've made a horrible mistake and I'm covering my ass by making things up. Also that I'm a blood-gargling monster

An outline drawing of a pear-shaped globe with grid lines representing latitude and longitude, labeled with 'N', 'S', 'E', and 'W' at its extremities. Above the drawing, text reads: 'Christopher Columbus was so convinced he had reached Asia that, when the evidence didn't fit, he proposed the Earth was shaped like a pear with the Garden of Eden at its highest point.'

From a Little Free Library, a scholarly take on the absolute *wild, argle-bargle crazy-town* history of a man who vanishes for years only to turn back up *with a wooden leg* at the trial of his *impostor*! Not enough popcorn in the entire world to get me though this one

With the success of The Backrooms movie, been happily proselytizing House of Leaves (does anyone else remember what a *phenomenon* it was when it came out? Young folk thinking it and Poe were going to change the world), which drew me to Danielewski's latest, Tom's Crossing. It is toothsome...

Book cover for "Tom’s Crossing" by Mark Z. Danielewski, designated as a New York Times Bestseller. The background features a high-contrast, black-and-white, close-up photograph of a textured cowboy hat catching strong light from the top right. The title text, "TOM'S CROSSING", and the author's name, "MARK Z. DANIELEWSKI", appear in white serif font centered on the hat, with faint, offset visual echoes or ghost reflections of the text printed directly underneath each line. A circular silver sticker in the top right corner reads "author of HOUSE OF LEAVES". At the bottom, the words "a novel" are printed in a small, lowercase serif font.

I was never able to stress enough how diversity diverged from social justice

I think it would shock the hell out of most people how much richly prophetic gonzo artistry you could find on cable in the 90s.

A lone figure walks through a vast, reddish desert landscape under a cloudy sky. The footprints in the sand and the distant dunes evoke solitude and endurance.

Futuristic robot with a skull-like head painted with an American flag design, glowing red eyes, and exposed wires, set against a red-lit background.

Man and woman embracing passionately under a shower. The man has a robotic arm and is covered in char and grime, the woman clean. The mood is intimate and emotional.

A tense scene shows a man in sunglasses aiming a gun and a woman with disheveled red hair holding a baseball bat, conveying intensity and urgency.

A while back a friend posted this prompt, "Ruin a movie title by adding the letter r," and because hyper-focus will make you extra for no apparent reason, I made posters. Just stumbled on them again, glad they still make me laugh

Parody movie poster for The Devil Wears Prada, retitled "Dr. Evil Wears Prada"

Parody movie poster for Funny Games, retitled "Funny Gamers", with the tagline, "It's about ethics in game journalism."

Parody movie poster for Moon, retitled "Moron"

(Speaking of Benno Fürmann, went for a walk in tonight's winter storm with The Princess + The Warrior soundtrack on the headphones. Absolutely perfect)
