There’s a lot going on but this is seriously 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

The Secret Agent is bringing real human faces back to the Oscars (complimentary, obviously)

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

After about 5 years (!) of keeping secrets, I am so excited that Disney Pixar's Hoppers is finally coming out on March 6th!

Back in 2021, Pixar emailed me asking if I could give a talk about my research to their employees. Then another talk. And another.

The Pitt found a role for Rusty Schwimmer (Amelia Minchin in A Little Princess!!!) just for us elder millennials

He fired Kristi Noem while she is speaking live. Lmao

going to go see the new Ready or Not movie, but I’m
more than a little sad for the character Samara Weaving plays. I liked to imagine she was having a nice boring vacation somewhere, eating some sushi, reading a fairly predictable novel, looking at the ocean & so on

Helena the Danny Boyle answer is inspired, oh my god

Yorgos Lanthimos should have directed Wuthering Heights

fake barrelhouse university "MFA degrees" to use as prizes at the Barrelhouse AWP conference booth

At @barrelhouse.bsky.social University we care about education, and that's why we will be conferring these MFA degrees next week to lucky wheel-spinning degree-seeking participants at Booth 1185 at the AWP Bookfair. The children are our future, even the poets.

he genuinely posts about Zohran as if he's his Marxist son

I still want to know what exact sort of parent they think is uncomfortable having a gay child but totally fine with a trans one

Show me them

Setting aside the creepy (and not original, other companies do this) use of AI here to manufacture words from the dead, this framing also reinforces the Western belief that grief is something is to be cured, moved past, ended, with a terminal point of 'going back to how things were before.'

Yeah, speaking with the supreme authority of today being the actual anniversary of my mother's death in 2023: absolutely fucking not.

This was precisely my experience the week my dad died (which was approximately five years in internet time but was in fact only two weeks ago) and I came back to the internet and was just hopelessly confused. Our ability to function like human beings appears to simply be broken.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

OH!!!!

Should be called the Mandela Effect Awards

What. Thee fuck. Are the Actor Awards.

I'm so tired of these AI trash memes...

Bring back the poorly done photoshop memes of the past.

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

10000000000000%%%%

Mood.

So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other

Thrilled to be back in the pages of @havehashad.com today with a short one, about two brothers who find one of the Voyager probe golden records in their grandfather's field. Hope you like it.

But obviously I would take either over the change

With every year of my life I become more of a standard time truther. Light in the morning >>>>> light at night

Your bimonthly, unasked for opinion on The Music Man, romantic “I Want” songs edition:

Harold Hill: I only love sluts 💕

Marian: My white knight doesn’t think 1. reading or 2. liking “a few nice things” is gay 🥲

stanley tucci with members of the gold medal winning USA women's hockey team

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

I think it's just, not that interesting? I've read way more insightful essays about sex work elsewhere. Happy for her, though
