Probably not untrue

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

This whole section really.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Just out of morbid curiosity, I calculated how long I could live off a million or a billion dollars based on my current costs of living. A million dollars covers me for 23 years. A billion— 23,000 years. I know it’s old news, but it’s literally impossible to imagine anyone needing that much money.

Anything to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.

GOP medicine: abortion is bad, but letting pregnant people suffer and putting the baby in danger is good.

Weird how “we should blow up the UN” isn’t considered encouraging political violence. 🤔

Thoroughly enjoyed the Alien: Earth season finale. Thought it ended in a great place, and hoping for an eventual Season 2. Some events I hoped to occur have not yet come to pass, and I need some characters to meet particular fates they have deservedly earned.

Universal Basic Income studies have shown it's good for every aspect of society: People benefit, economies benefit and society benefits. It's a boon for small business development, the lifeblood of many economies. A boon for artists. The rich and powerful hate it, so we'll never get it.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

The folks who think their reason du jour causes autism is because they don't understand the difference between causation and correlation and they don't understand that increased ability to recognize a thing doesn't necessarily mean higher prevalence of a thing. To wit: they are not smart.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Not just a good breakdown but also more thoughtful and understanding about this situation than some other people on a different platform

Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

Tylenol is about to own the United States after they are through with these bozos in court holy shit.

The trailer has me excited for #TheMandalorianAndGrogu, even if it ends up being an extra long episode of the show. Fandom doesn't always need to be serious and gritty. Leave room for whimsy and fun. All that being said, Disney still needs to get its shit together over the Kimmel situation.

Nada. Zip. Nothing. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Bears top the Cowboys 31-14. Bears looked really good on both sides of the bal. DEF had 4 turnovers! Really hope they're starting to gel and put it all together, and it wasn't just cuz it was Dallas. As always, all in on this team. #BearDown

Caleb Williams w/ 239 yds and 3 TD is the first half. Bears up by 10 against Eberflus's defense. Dare I hope? #BearDown

Holy shit! Bears with a 65 yd flea-flicker touchdown! #BearDown

Chicago doesn't fuck around. Send ICE packing. ✊️

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

Finally got a chance to listen to the new The Sound of Animals Fighting album, The Maiden. Digging it. Still have their signature complex arrangements. Sometimes discordant and heavy, sometimes melodic and even kind of hypnotic. Will have to dive back into their older stuff. Been too long.

Can we project this on to the moon, please.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

It was never about FREE SPEECH. It was always about the protection of HATE SPEECH.

Exactly this

The Conservative project to control and operate the media as a way to eliminate even the most gentle of opposition ideas, using threats or lawsuits or just any molehill they can mountain-ize, is in full swing. We are careening toward a monopolitical media ecosystem.

Hell of a cliffhanger for Alien: Earth. Excited for the finale next week!

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Our horror film DEAD MEDIA premieres in Minneapolis October 20th. The story of a troubled young woman, her aging hipster uncle, and a haunted DVD. The event will feature pre-film entertainment, a Q&A, photo op, and more. Tix & info: deadmediamoviempls102025.eventbrite.com

Just finished "The Claw of the Conciliator". This series continues to baffle & captivate me. I have no idea where this is going narratively. Wild SF/F elements (& characters) get dropped in casually, w/ little fanfare or explanation, and typically for only a brief period. Truly a unique experience.

funny who is and isn't allowed to be targeted with "hate speech"

They’re treating the murder of Charlie Kirk like the 9/11 terror attacks, as an excuse to go to war. But this time they’re going to war against the US.

All the people being fired for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk—many of them women—in the aftermath of his death demonstrates that his legacy was never one about universal free speech. It was only ever about about straight, white, conservative Christian men spouting bigotry without consequence.

Glad I'm not watching this Bears game. Jesus.

Can't help noticing that the actual content of the walkback is him saying not ALL mentally ill homeless people should be murdered

Spewing garbage & hate like this is why none of the memorials and talk pieces from the GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) include actual clips of Kirk.

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.
