I often use this book when talking to real life friends about the wild things going on in certain corners of independent literature. One of the now many I point out, to show where I personally think the hands are on the clock.

Especially funny (and true) in light of how those exact two movies were literally two of the biggest "hits" with our kids. They actively disliked Encanto and Turning Red, which are very pop-psych
There's only like one type of kid anymore in these movies.
Imagine taking the kids from Stand By Me or The Sandlot and injecting them into a Pixar movie. It's such an alien concept it hurts the brain to try.

Not the same place, but I have fond memories of going urban spelunking with some friends in 2006 and climbing a Lady In The Water billboard in Red Hook
Fbf to the unexpectedly perilous water tower at my old building in Brooklyn at 132 N 5th. If you ever attended a roof party there circa the late-2000s, it was basically a rite of passage to at some point attempt a drunken climb up the 30' ladder. Only there was a surprise -🧵

Saw someone say, “The internet was once a library and they turned it into a store,” and if you’re young I don’t think you can imagine how different the web used to be.

In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, any member of parliament could exercise a veto to end the parliamentary session and prevent it from doing anything. The nation's enemies simply bribed members to use their vetoes, paralyzing the country.
Fun fact: The woman pictured here credited the viral success of her campaign to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a China proxy organization operating here in the United States.
PSL is the political arm of the Shanghai-based Neville Roy Singham, an avowed Marxist multimillionaire who has bankrolled anti-American, pro-CCP nonprofits to the tune of $278 million.
Singham’s political foot soldiers have been boots on the ground in dozens of anti-data center fights across the country. But striking down the $5 billion data center campus in Landover, MD, was by far their biggest scalp.
In the ongoing campaign against American AI, cui bono?
More than anyone, it’s our chief political adversary.

This iconic 15th-century manuscript illumination depicts a blue-faced demon playing a horn while perversely acting as a "fisher of men" in the turbulent sea of human vice. ca. 1490.
I wear one of these at all times. I have vibecoded an app to translate my neverending tuneful tootlings into my posts. My family begs me to stop. This only encourages my puff-cheeked reedy honkings to become louder and more dissonant. My eyes twirl in independent spirals
