Today at Flaming Hydra, I interviewed film and media historian @alicelovejoy.bsky.social on her deeply-researched new book uncovering the role played by Kodak—the household brand that popularized the snapshot—and other film manufacturers in industrial warfare.

regarding Jay Jones, it's not just that Trump talks about killing and assaulting people and that every GOP staffer is in a chat called Hitler's Bunker. it's that Trump is actually murdering people: illegal USAID cuts killing poor kids, people gunned down in the street by masked ICE thugs, etc

if you can't handle journalists asking clarifying follow up questions you have no business managing reporters. go run a dick's sporting goods

one of the funniest things about all this is that when you read about the history of men and warfare it is an endless series of internecine feuds between the biggest fucking prima donnas you've ever heard of

I went in a sensory deprivation tank once but I got bored so I started drinking the water until I threw up

Any Dem electoral gains need to build up to the creation of an Untouchables squad that pulls ICE agents out of their homes, cars, Cracker Barrels, etc and perp walks them to their own holding facilities. Every single one.

Does man who spends 14 hours a day posting deserve one trillion dollars? Many posters say the matter is complicated.

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

no chief o'brien? i'm out. the disrespect non-commissioned starfleet officers face is one of the uglier sides of federation service

"ideological entrepreneur" is a great phrase for trad influencers and i for one can't wait to aggressively overuse it to the point of rendering it meaninglessness

marketing as an academic discipline is going to study tiktok like it's the atomic model for generations

over time i have just become less and less willing to forget or forgive trump voters

You can’t gleefully cheer on the demonization and firing of civil servants in the place they all live then be upset that your neighbors don’t care if you live or die. Vogt said he wanted government employees scared to go to work, this is the political environment they built.

Saw someone say that the enraged radicalized wine moms are going to impose Sangria Law and honestly that’s pretty good

this isn't rational, bikes should stay in the bike lane and not threaten pedestrians, it's a serious issue. but i've literally been knocked down by idiots on bikeshare bikes and i was less mad at them than drivers who keep creeping up on me when i'm in their turn lane, which happens almost every day

Mamdani went to a small college similar to the one where I work and majored in Africana Studies. From now on my answer to the microaggressive question of “what can one (even) do with a Black Studies degree from a liberal arts college?” is “You can run New York.”

Biden/Mayor Pete very rightfully took a ton of shit for barely caring about a large scale environmental disaster. The same standards need to be applied

yo bro is it safe down there in the woods? yeah man it's cool by Tomislav Jagnjic

this is b/c transphobia is a brain-melting cognitohazard. it's v. important to understand this. once you go down this path you cannot shut the fuck up about it, whether you're a republican reactionary or a beltway centrist, to the point where it resembles any other kind of net-induced cybersickness

each of them represents one of the five elements: Fire, Metal, Air, Water, and Anti-Trust.

the united states government acknowledges but does not endorse new york city’s claim on staten island, a strategic ambiguity political scientists refer to as the One New York Policy

the most boneheaded possible way to use AI i can think of is to give it detailed information about two or more options and ask it to summarize and tell you what decision to make between them. and yet that seems like precisely the thing businesses want to do with it the most
