He/him. Overeducated, failed academic. I'm into books, movies, videogames, tea, and wine. I sometimes write things. Video games: http://medium.com/@untimelygamer Films: http://letterboxd.com/untimelygamer/ and http://watchestoodamnmuch.wordpress.com.

The way people talk about Mormons and Mormonism is a little wild. Don't get me wrong, all religions are kind of dumb, and Mormonism is one of the dumbest around, but it gets a lot of criticism that also applies to Catholicism but people don't say out loud because Catholicism is a "real" religion.

Uhhh, I don't want to put a particular big account on blast, but it's awful weird to begin with "I have white-hot frustration with people refusing to abandon their toys for trans people" and immediately go to "and now I understand why people murder innocent civilians."

How "is it morally right to boycott the New York Times" an actual topic of discussion in August 2026? Of course it is morally right! Next question.

1. This did not happen. Leftists did not cost Harris the election. If she won every leftist in the country, she still would have lost. 2. I'm sorry, I am not taking political advice from some YouTuber named Johnny Bananas. You cannot admit that into evidence.

Harris only lost by a few percentage, thanks in part to leftists not voting for her and promoting voter apathy, but you got what you wanted right? youtu.be/4PoO5ajrHtI?...

I've said this before, but I am getting a little exhausted boycotting every company, every band, every newspaper that are shitheads or support Trump. I don't know what to do.

This NYT–Dana Rubinstein hit job on Mamdani is quietly hilarious. The headline and main text of the article clutch pearls about why there are no Jewish representation on the team. And then the piece admits that the Jewish judge that was recommended was rejected ... for representing Ghislaine Maxwell

The CIA may be problematic, but they do get stuff done.

All wines are going to taste like California wines.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Congrats dude, you found the two things no one with even a rudimentary understanding of class and economic structure really cares about.

Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax will work, because anything with a French name is fancy and OK to tax.

Just two days ago (from the only pollster to show Stevens ahead).

Honestly this. It's nice to say "the Dems need to be taught a lesson," but the lesson they always seem to draw is "we should be more transphobic," whether they win or lose. "Lose, it's the pesky trans' fault. We need to be more transphobic." "Win, wow transphobia works. We should try that again."

I really hope I'm wrong, but i can't believe but feel like Amy Acton is going to lose, Democrat voters are going to blame it on trans people and call us Trump supporters, and the lesson mainstream Democrats will take is they weren't transphobic *enough*

Lots of takes about whether to vote for Acton or not, and I suspect they may all be besides the point. This is obviouly a campaign in shambles. If you can't clear the low bar of placating people on your own side, how are you supposed to convince others to vote for you. Incompetent. She's gonna lose.

It's honestly amazing how much Homer anticipated Weird Twitter stock characters. Odysseus is the original wife guy; Telemachus the original failson and "large adult son." Heck, I would argue that Agamemnon and Menelaus were the original "blowjob brothers."

People complaining about the Odyssey discourse just prove that people will complain about any discourse.
