@RadioFreeTom They are indelible in my memory for recording an ad for an Atari VCS game 40 years ago. https://t.co/XTNHrY7rVP

5. If the life of battle was one side of his imagination, the divine was the other. He was the William Blake of the Lower East side, always wrestling with angels, demons, gods.

1. Jack Kirby was born 106 years ago today. I often think about this photo from World War II, where he's on furlough from military training, standing next to his wife Roz (Rosalind Goldstein). He had a certain grim satisfaction at the job ahead.

There is much, much more to do, but from what I can tell it is not widely understood that US per-capita CO₂ emissions have fallen below WWI levels: https://t.co/WBiPUh7qSg

@TheAtlantic The life of the Internet is one of things coming and going, and Twitter was one of those things. Twitter was always difficult to use in a healthy way, but as Chris Hitchens or Winston Churchill or some other wit said about alcohol: "I got more out of it than it got out of me."

On Independence Day treat yourself to this lovely profile of one of a true miracle of American culture, Samuel Delany.

New Fogknife post about “Black Narcissus" (1947). I liked it! Among other things, was struck by how much it reminded me of the FMV video game "Immortality" (2022). https://t.co/sBCCcQLLeE

This is where I’m at. While it’s funny to laugh at the place falling apart, Twitter has been a critical part of my job and my life for a long time. I’ve met people I love on here, work contacts, grown a newsletter, and yeah it’s got me through shit which is embarrassing to admit

I have over 400 hours of experience playing Civilization V. Vladimir Putin should have known that when his national happiness fell below -20 he would start spawning random insurgents. Here’s what he should do next: 🧵(1/?)

[Sirsfurther @sirsfurther]

My sources tell me that Putin has asked his generals abt the possibility of restoring the save game from just before the invasion. His generals have advised him that his last save was an autosave from 2019

Happy #SummerSolstice! Installing a spray cap on a hydrant is STILL a fun way to cool off on a hot summer day in #NYC. If you ask your local @FDNY Firehouse, they'll install a spray cap for free. If you see an open hydrant without a spray cap, please report it to @nyc311!

this season of Black Mirror joins The Boys on the list of shows that make you think, is the argument of this show that i should cancel the streaming service it's on?

Amazing letter reflecting on massive institutional failure.
