What throwaway Simpsons joke lives in your head full-time? For me it’s Dr Hibbert deciding not to eat at Moe’s and instead taking the family to the Texas Cheesecake Depository

Tomorrow, #InternetArchive will file their reply brief in the suit from major #publishers to end the right of IA and all #libraries to own and preserve spyware-free digital #books. Reading what they’re replying to, we’ve gotta ask: Who is the real “Napster” here? A thread.

Happy 5th birthday

I don't care what kind of weird shit he's posting or doing, it is unacceptable to show me Richard Hanania's face on here for any reason. He looks like he just hatched out of an egg. I do not care for it.

I generally think people should be able to do what they want, and that this is nonsense yellow peril stuff. But I also hate tiktok and think it’s absolute brain poison. So who’s to say

The House has overwhelmingly voted to approve a bill that could ban TikTok in the U.S. The legislation now goes to the Senate, where its fate is unclear.

It seems utterly fitting the current cultural moment that the presidential election is going to be a remake that no one asked for or wanted to see.

We gotta put Hans Zimmer in jail

A lot of people are practically tripping over themselves to explain why the uncommitted campaign doesn’t mean anything, but I’ve seen at least 5 elections in my life and not heard of anything like this happening before. Maybe it has, but it “seems bad” as they say

i am quitting, and although quit lit is kind of common, i don't know what i could say that everyone doesn't already know. but i also recently told someone - about grad study in the humanities - 'however bad you think it looks from the outside, it's worse', which might be the only thing still sayable

McCarthy was just one of the very best to ever do it - nothing else like it

a lot of my fiction writing is aimed at capturing the feeling of drinking warm beer out of cans in a place you're not supposed to

It also seems very true that there is a far bigger danger of state level GOP making it increasingly onerous to be a democrat on the ballot if you let the cat out of the bag on this one, so I dunno

We all know though that if the roles were somehow reversed, there's zero chance the Republican justices would have missed a chance to disqualify an insurrectionist ex-Democratic president from running again, right.
