Life is strange. One minute you're smiling and holding a weapon designed to tear human bodies apart, the next day you're laying on a slab in a temperature controlled room while half the world dances in celebration.

Save your brain. Read a book. Refuse to doomscroll. Read a book. Reject AI slop. Read a book. Fuck the machine. Read a book. Be the counterculture. Read a book.

To be disabled is to grieve. It’s grieving the body you’ll never have, it’s grieving the loss of capabilities over time, it’s grieving the abandonment from society as a whole, it’s grieving the lack of accessibility and inclusion. Grief is all encompassing if you’re disabled.

Social media actually has warped our perception of creativity and hobbies. STOP doing things to post them. Just write. Just journal. Just sketch. Just read. Just annotate. Just sing. Just crochet. Just do the thing you're going to do with the assumption no one will ever see or know you did it. Stop performing. Just enjoy it.

learn to disappoint people or they’ll design your life for you.

I think what I love most about reading is that it's the one place where your ego has no power. It's literally the only conversation where you're not allowed to speak. You just sit there and fully receive it and you can't cut it off or talk over it. You're just surrendering over and over again, and I think we seriously underestimate how rare and powerful that actually is.

Socialist innovations include libraries, fire departments and the weekend. Capitalist innovations include school lunch debt, microplastics and new aggressive forms of cancer.

I simply enjoy my own company, I am my first companion and friend. So eating out alone, traveling alone, attending shows or having a drink alone is a pleasure I deeply enjoy because my own company is all I need sometimes.

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Former Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams (who cast Craig, Brosnan, and Dalton) says rumored contenders Jacob Elordi, Callum Turner, and Harris Dickinson should not be cast as the next James Bond.

“It is absolutely essential that he retains a total enigma. I don’t want to see any of them as Bond because we now know so much about them. We want to know as little about them personally as possible, because that’s what spies are.”

Talking to someone with an open mind is seriously one of my favorite things because there is never an end to what you can talk about and learn

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Every summer for the rest of your life will be the hottest on record. Your risk of dying in a climate related disaster increases every year. Remembering that makes me so angry because this could all have been prevented.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

[Heated Rivalry News @heatedrivalnews]

Joel Kim Booster talks about the entertainment industry's "backpedaling" on queer representation, even in light of the success of Heated Rivalry:

'“So many gay spaces have become almost exclusively for high-earning, wealthy gay men,” he says. He sees irony in the fact that “the people who would benefit from being in these spaces the most are the people who are never going to be able to get there financially.”

He says, too, that despite the success of his own projects and other LGBT-centered shows like Heated Rivalry, the current wave of harassment coming from the White House is having a chilling effect on artists. “People are really frightened and risk-averse right now because of this administration and what we’ve seen in the way of censorship or retaliation,” he says.

Booster calls out the industry’s backpedaling on shows that put queerness center stage — despite important successes like Heated Rivalry, in which love between two elite players shifts the hypermasculine world of hockey. “There are now six hockey shows in development, none of them gay, and it’s like, guys, I think it wasn’t the hockey that was the big issue.”'
