God the #enshittification of the Cannes Film Festival in recent years has been terrible to watch. A trade show for tech companies rather than a festival to celebrate art and subversive filmmaking.
Definitely should not have turned off Egypt v New Zealand at the half. #wc26
“Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.“
Charles Bukowski
EVERYONE needs to stop self-diagnosing ffs.
I walked 21 miles yesterday…

Ivory Coast showing up in a big way. Germany definitely looking like chumps so far. #worldcup2026
A fascist police state is an NYPD more heavily-funded than it’s ever been and less effective and more mired in corruption than it’s ever been.
The US needs more holidays to shame white oppressors, enslavers, imperialists, and criminal capitalists. But there aren’t enough days in the year.
The book on American narcissism would fill volumes.
Banger.
I would like to give my appreciation to all streamers for having no good content anymore thus requiring me to return to reading.
“I lurk around the mystery murmuring maledictions on the feebleness of my words.”
Leonora Carrington, The Stone Door
Love Oura Ring’s software, but holy shit their hardware is garbage. I hope Brian Lynch fixes it
Honestly, I like almond butter, but holy shit there’s something about peanut butter that’s irreplaceable. And it’s not just nostalgia. It’s the taste and texture.
Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, and Belgium all drawing in their first World Cup matches against their respective teams (Cabo Verde, Congo, Japan, and Egypt) is completely bananas.
When the US gets on its high horse about China’s civil rights violations without recognizing the laundry list of its own.
The NYC mayor needs to see to it that retractable ballasts are implemented at all Prospect Park entrances to ensure cars can’t drive in it. Illegal driving in the park is getting out of control, the NYPD is proving itself useless once more, and someone is going to get killed.
Hey NYC pedestrians, stop giving cars the right of way when you are the one with the right of way. Your “politeness” is reinforcing drivers’ entitlement and perpetuating an eternal problem.
The spectacles of modern-day gender reveals, showers, engagements, and even birthdays and weddings are beyond comprehension for me. They celebrate nothing more than one’s self-importance and privilege. (Also def never ever been to a gender reveal.)
Does anyone know the Fort Greene cross streets for Spike Lee’s block party? I’m too hungover to wander around looking for it in this heat.
