Jeremiah stops. His eyes are wide and he is terrified. He looks down with outstretched arms at his legs. “Dude,” he says, voice shaking. “Where are my fucking pants?” CANADA VACANT by @jamdraper ↓

I don’t live in Michigan anymore but if I get one more call about Abdul El-Sayed I’m calling him personally and telling him to size up his t-shirts. Just one size is all

We all know Theranos is not real. That would have been a lame documentary if that is what it revolved around
jos@josiahhughes21h
loved YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING (2026) but... the film failed to conclusively demonstrate that any of the tech actually works. like... it kinda all hinges on whether or not Theranos is real

Had a dream that someone gifted me a Maurice Jones-Drew jersey but instead of “Jones-Drew” on the back it read “Sittin Sideways”

I think people often laugh at the wrong time during movies at the theater but, like… this is still Nathan Fielder lol
jack of all trade@notjacktwistOct 23
they should offer two types of screenings for You Can See Everything: one for normal people and one for people who want to performatively laugh at everything that’s humorous or awkward

"Strange to fictionalize a life whose veracity isn’t yet solidified, as if its goodness prevents it from crossing the threshold into confirmed reality. A danger, once mythologized, it will never be true." Don't miss @BSkergio's wonderful new story in The Bulb Region today.

I’m at the library right now monopolizing every desktop. They’re yelling at me, telling me to leave, threatening to call the police, but I am standing down and standing by

I'm hearing YCSE tickets are unavailable around the country because supporters of @alexL_E_I are going into checkout, selecting all of the seats, and letting the timer run down over and over.

The saga continues with Thomas McGuane’s most recent (and hopefully not last) novel. When people tell you to read McGuane, they always tell you to read early McGuane. Not sure why they exclude his later stuff, which includes tons of great work.
