Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Du Bois basically did a version of this in his bibliography in Black Reconstruction

1. lets start with the PM doesn't clearly name either domestic or global fascism, doesn't link the two, or draw a values contrast, anti-trans rights, - holding him to the standard of an average US dem its hard to award many points

I have a spreadsheet of all the takes and correspondence I said I'd send people but never did. In 30 years @daviec.bsky.social will get a 5 page essay on why The Florida Project is such an amazing film.

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! 🪶

A conversation with a friend reminded me of this old article by Paul Krugman. It aged poorly for a while, but now is trending back towards prescient. www.nytimes.com/1996/09/29/m...

Because it's delicious?

honestly 2020-era Sohrab and John Milbank should be treated as postliberal dril tweets

Ezra Klein has become Fox News. You will have a better understanding of the state of reality by actively avoiding him rather than listening to his show

My daughter is really into Pokemon GO. I was helping her pick Pokemon to fight Team Rocket. She wanted to use a 600 CP Rialu and I told her not to use that Ria-Loser. She burst into tears and shut herself in her room and won't come out

Wife and kid are asleep. Time to spend Thursday night reading about the technical definition of what exactly makes a regime. www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Far right researchers: Uh, don't know if you can call this guy a chud, kind of makes you no better than the far right! The actual far right: So the shooter is a transsexual jew and the media is covering it up

My Spanish is better than I realised

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

Not a single elected dem is even going to come remotely close to what Lee and a whole bunch of elected GOP officials did. They’re all going to express sympathy and condemn political violence and we’re of course going to get a billion different “both sides” articles in the coming weeks

You don't need massive unloading facilities on your layout to unload various commodities. This specialty grain distributor has an auger unloader that goes into the corner of this large tilt-up warehouse, right from the covered hoppers. 8796 Rochester Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730

The president the United States using armed, masked paramilitaries to intimidate a political rival.

It's three years this week since the UK media reported that 1000 families were going to sue the Tavistock (Gender Identity Clinic) for medical mispractice. There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/

A very poorly reported crime against a regime loyalist leads to the national capitol being placed under martial law. What an unforeseeable development.

My daughter picked cat-on-cat patterns for a party today

We're still getting rid of a bunch of stuff before we move (less than 2 weeks now). I'm happy to give away pretty much anything to a person who'll full use of it, but if it's a rando who will resell it makes me angry. Am I prejudiced against folks injecting liquidity into the market?

Too chewed up to donate, and too unread to cross the ocean. Goodbye Whose Toes Are Those, you were well-loved

I can't ever remember caring what I wore as a little kid, but my daughter insists on picking out her own outfit about 80% of the time

This shit makes me feel old. This is the kind of feature I want, but I don't want to spend time messing around with new search engines, technology, etc. I've been thinking about switching back to Ubuntu and it makes me feel the same way

The Sydney Sweeney stuff has convinced me that prestige media (New Yorker, NYT Magazine) is using social media as it's assignment editor, so we're all forced to wallow in lowest common denominator slop disguised behind complex sentence structures

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

slightly over 3 weeks until we leave London for the US (with a stop in Spain). all our previous moves were exciting and held the promise of adventure, but this one has us, not bummed out, but apprehensive. there is a lot of uncertainty and no guarantee of better days ahead (although is there ever?)
