It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Death to Spotify ☠️

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

it's all just a matter of convincing and charading through equivocated wincing and parading all the plausible reasons for what you do past a kid on the sidewalk who looks a lot like you

Zohran says you’re trans now

this track is goosebumps-inducingly great. You gotta listen to it, right now

Please, Mr. Beast is my father. Call me Beastie Boy (this was the actual first thought in my brain as i woke up and i feel honor bound to post it)

I love cusp! I love cusp! I love cusp!!!! cusptunes.bandcamp.com/album/what-i...

As someone who grew up around a brand of evangelical toxic paternalism I must say, controlling men feel threatened when they see people living free. It asks them to challenge their stereotypes about masculinity in a way that is very uncomfortable—they learn how weak their version of a man really is.

Track 2: Do Not Go Gentle It is a boy painted red, mischief in his eyes, cliff-diving off the precipice of the yawning abyss, singing all the way down. It is a celebration of Sisyphus’s hamstrings. Listen at tobythetiger.com ♥️

Track 1: Bones Bones is a haunting echo wailed from the distant inescapable past, and it is a thesis statement for the album it inaugurates. @rosyoverdrive.com called it one of the best album openers of the year. ~2:17 is one of my favorite moments on the record. open.spotify.com/track/6Wjclm...

One year ago, I released my first album. I poured my blood and guts into making it. Last year i was Going Through Some Stuff, and couldn't put much time into sharing how proud I was of this record. More of that to come. But for now... give this guy a spin. I think you'll like it ♥️ tobythetiger.com

These people are fucking monsters

39. Is the writing part of the self a separate self that can lead the non-writing part of the self into a higher.. more resilient echelon of selfhood? 40. Even if that is possible, is anyone who even asks such questions too neurotic to ever participate in that type of transformation? 🫠

“I never thought federal officers could behave this way. I really didn’t,” she said. “I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong.”

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

tfw it fully dawns on you that Quietest Friend by Pedro the Lion is a song for his inner child and you just weep uncontrollably while you listen

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker bidoun.org/articles/hou...

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Today I was in a school library with a trained librarian. The school includes unhoused children and the kids of university professors. Watching how the librarian made all the kids feel welcome. Seeing the stiff, tense, worried body language soften. As they saw, maybe there is a space for me here. 💜

“Wow this Big Joel guy really deserves a million subs on YouTube!” “I knoooow, he’s so good” “What if, I don’t know, we did like an ‘ironic’ sub to Big Joel campaign online, to get people excited?” “That would be sooo funny and cool wow” Just a convo you guys could be having idk

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

The dead have a right to remain dead. An animated skin put over a computer model and given the same name as the dead son of grieving parents is a cursed golem and a full delusion. By interviewing the computer model, Acosta has asked us to accept this as true or real. Gun control deserves better.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest

I truly intended this just as an email and not a public thing but fuck it we ball. The New York Times is not alone in its culpability but it is deeply culpable and its near-monopoly status in our blighted American media ecosystem allows it to do what it does.

Reporter: The FDA has a new AI tool that's intended to speed up drug approvals. But several FDA employees say the new AI helper is making up studies that do not exist. One FDA employee telling us, 'Anything that you don't have time to double check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently'

Enter Sandman is a song about how scary bedtime is

feels like one of the main divides in how people view ai is the reaction to its ingratiating servile tone. when ai is like "ouhhhh i'm so sorry i got that wrong sir, let my try again, you were right my liege" tech guys are like "i like this" instead of "what the fuck is wrong with you"

saw a child in my son's group chat making fun of someone for putting an H at the end of hahah "like a millennial" and I have never felt so owned

i honestly do not know what to say, other than if you’re trans, i love you, and if you have trans loved ones, i love them too

I guarantee you’re a better writer than ChatGPT. Never butcher your own writing or relinquish your own voice to put your name on the dead-eyed, mechanical hallucinations of a bunch of 1s and 0s. People who know good writing and AI have no trouble recognizing AI-generated garbage.

on transgender day of visibility, i just want to say to my trans friends: i see you, i love you, i admire and respect you. i will always stand up for you and have your back. i am hear to read your writing and listen to your music and be your friend and whatever else you may need. love you
