I am a children’s book art director, and that’s it. That is my entire vibe. Oh, and pop culture stuff. Right right right—I’m also drawn to politics like a mosquito to a bug zapper.

It’s also crazy they want to try to re-litigate this thing they fucked up colossally. So desperate.

i want to emphasize that the vaccine misinformation and covid denialism we are seeing on live television today, at this level of government, aren't due to a lack of critical thinking skills, but are a result of years blatant lies and corruption

The magic of Hansard, I think, the pulse that captured us all—is this layered feeling of loneliness and community. That the human heart can ache and still be so full that it wells up in your throat and spills out. That’s where his art came from. And he was so generous with it.

Brutal news about Glen Hansard. Every once in a while I'll rewatch this opening scene to Once, which is obviously of a time, but is still awfully beautiful. Watched this at a little movie theatre and had no idea what it was about and was just blown away by the electricity of it. RIP.

So tired of beauty fleeting and passing while malice is just thriving. So very tired.

Toss all of big tech into the sea.

AI is making everyone's life more expensive, according to CNN. "Households must spend just over $375 more to purchase the same goods and services as they did this time last year due to AI’s inflationary impact,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, says. www.cnn.com/2026/07/28/e...

This is why we will never see proper healthcare coverage in this country. The powers that be want us sick, poor, and dependent on their garbage system.

“Almost a quarter of all U.S. workers say they want to leave their current job but won’t because they want to keep their health benefits, according to a new survey of more than 2,000 employed people... up significantly from 16% in 2021, the last time Gallup measured job lock among working adults”

Here’s what i don’t understand. A giant company bribes their way to deregulation, only to definitely poison everyone. For what? How is this worth a bit of extra profit for a short amount of time?

Taylor Farms, the lettuce supplier at the center of our explosive diarrhea outbreak, has spent millions to oppose food regulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans:

Ah, yes. Who could forget how one must show a valid passport and original birth certificate to get some pesto at the Olive Garden. You got us again, republicans! Stay cynical.

Scalise: "For God's sake -- you can't get pasta at Olive Garden without a picture ID! Why not be able to show a picture ID to vote?"

One thing that always strikes me particularly about a World Cup: it belongs to everyone. Literally, people all over the planet, at home, gathering in parks, porches, bars, or back yards on weathered plastic chairs. You don’t need 13 grand for this game to be yours. Unless you are Argentina.

The New York Times

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “So much attention is paid to the business of physically being at the World Cup,” Mark O’Connell writes, “that it is easy to overlook the extent to which it is a televised spectacle, perhaps even primarily a televised spectacle.”

Really great piece:

Earlier I was discussing the current state of middle grade book publishing with an author I represent, and I mentioned this Substack by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social that offers a lot of insight into what is currently happening with that market: vickyweberbooks.substack.com/p/middle-gra...
