I’m tired of people calling Black voters moderate. No, they are *risk averse*, and they’ve got 407 years of reasons for that. My guess is they, like lots of other Americans, now see the risks of inaction and of the status quo.

In 10,000 years they’re going to look back on jokes and be like what a waste of laughter

through infancy’s unconscious spell, boyhood’s thoughtless faith, adolescence’ doubt (the common doom), then scepticism, then disbelief, resting at last in manhood’s pondering repose of If

jigsaw: you are so addicted to social media you struck and killed a child while on your phone and driving. your selfishness took something beautiful from this would. your beauty must also suffer. i want to play a game. me (on my phone): mhmm

I'm a big believer in freedom, which is why it sounds perfectly reasonable that the government should have on-demand access to genetic samples from any person suspected of pissing or shitting where we say they can't piss or shit. You know. Small government stuff 🫠🫡😵‍💫🙃 www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

There is a problem with the stories we tell & the way we perceive how change happens. The Union of Pinnacle Tenants, the largest tenant-led union in NYC—are the reason Mamdani took action. Organized people power is pivotal. Top down stories of elected heroes (even ones we like) are not sufficient.

the funniest NBA outcome is: 2-0 Knicks Trump shows up for g3 Spurs in 6

I hate the line that the Constitution is "colorblind." The reconstruction amendments gave the Constitution eyes with which to see discrimination, ears with which to hear the cries of the oppressed, and a mouth with which to speak the law against it. The Court made it a blind deaf mute for a century.

But I don't want my allegiance to be to Life in the abstract. There’s no such thing as a moral agent in an abstract sense. Our humanness is an inextricable part of our agency & even if we're not the most valuable species to The Grand Unfolding of Life™, we're valuable TO US. 6/n

one might ask why a free speech org is scrutinizing the small dollar political donations of private citizens

a bat is the angel form of a mouse

Requiring the parent of a SNAP recipient to provide a written statement clarifying that a birthday money transfer was not recurring support is so dystopian.

There’s a freaking unreliable narrator in the white house

I read bartleby the scrivener and I watched yes man starring Jim Carey and I was like ok, I think I understand all my options now

Everyone involved in this "discourse" is stupid; the panicked response to it and the soapboxing is pointless, the original interview was just boring, sophomoric philosophizing, the people pretending to not understand that are pretending to be idiots, and we're all stupider for being exposed to it.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Complaining about HR is also how capitalist would-be tyrants who resent the strictures of bureaucratic shareholder capitalism launder their class interests into something resembling populism. It's not about being pro-worker, it's about giving men like Elon Musk total control over their companies.

Folks, infrasound issues are fake. This was truly an insane experience to write and I hope you enjoy blog.andymasley.com/p/contra-ben...

this is because one of the primary aims of liberalism is to ameliorate the harms of racism and one of the primary aims of authoritarianism is to intensify the harms of racism.

I think that’s sarcasm below but yeah like, liberal racists aren’t ideal but the track record is so SO much better than authoritarian racists, a thing you will notice when you realize that the first half-dozen authoritarian racists that come to mind are just the all time genocide leaderboard

hi @christopherjhale.bsky.social, fuck you

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

I think the actual tension with streamers is that it’s a medium by and for dumbasses, and it’s simultaneously true that (1) you need to try and prevent the audience-dumbasses from finding worst dumbasses to watch, and (2) it’s bad for a streamer-dumbass to get anywhere close to policy or strategy

Nostalgia is a drug. Like most drugs, some people can probably safely engage in modest consumption with little ill effect. And like most drugs, it will destroy you, mind, body, and soul, if you're not careful.

Kat Abughazaleh showed that you do not need to be on Twitter in 2026 to be a competitive political campaign.

a little disappointed that nobody is handing Team USA stuffed animals right now. that seemed like a durable innovation

If the amount of suicide attempts you’ve had in the past year is less than 1 do not give me that FAFO reddit ally shit i voted for the genocidal liberal cunt

This is *exactly* what I was writing about in this piece I wrote a couple weeks ago. www.readtpa.com/p/the-first-...

I went to Delphi, strange place... smelly, place, [wafting gesture] smelly, and they told me... You know what they told me? They told me that all I had to do was invade Persia, and a great EMPIRE, an EMPIRE, would fall. Would you believe that folks? Would you believe that?

Perhaps diaspora communities should be given grace and also not granted the presumption of special knowledge or influence around shit happening in the old country, as a general matter.

Hi, it's me, the parent who is homophobic but not transphobic. I am working with the same doctors currently being threatened with prosecution by a fascist but are nonetheless beholden to trans activists. We want to create more trans women because they are universally heterosexual

I Saw The TV Glow and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. - the perfect double feature.

Whoever invented pop up ads on gas station pumps should be shamed and ostracized from civilized society. Literally not even letting me press cancel as my card info is just sitting in the system but also not letting me pump gas.

a thing that doesn't really get enough discussion about platner is that, even if you assume the latter here is true (and i do), it's going to make him strongly susceptible to malign influences if he gets elected to the senate; the framework to think about him isn't fetterman, it's gabbard

Trump’s 2016 criticism of the Iraq war was the US didn’t do enough war crimes. He argued that the US should’ve stolen oil and killed insurgents’ innocent family members. That’s what some prominent media figures presented to the public as isolationist, anti-intervention, anti-war, “Donald the Dove.”

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

conservative think tanks believe corporations should get to do whatever they want to *unless* the thing they want to do is ethical, in which case the government should get to ban them.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
