Sam is here to clarify a few things before the season four premiere tonight... @samreich.bsky.social

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Some nations split their highest courts across different areas of legal responsibility (e.g. courts of cassation vs. constitutional courts), which makes it less likely that the composition of a single court will result in widespread rulings with a specific ideological tenor.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Yet again, someone who stays up for multiple nights in a row, slipping into mania while the chatbot does nothing to disengage. The easiest safeguard to add, and it seems none of these companies have cared enough to try.

It’s soup season! #art

i’m grateful that they do these focus groups because i think it’s useful to understand how much of politics is just people making up a story they tell themselves based on absolutely random details they synthesize into something, and then make meaning out of that

Oh so sleepy

you know how you solve the problem of trans and autistic children? you love them, and you listen to them, you raise them with the support of a community that supports about their well-being. you work to build a world that accomodates their needs. you give a shit.

An overwhelmingly common reason people give for enjoying this type of work IS ITS SEPARATION FROM REALITY. People are ENJOYING A FANTASY, not planning their weekend. This deserves protection.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Gentle reminder: everything is awful so you may as well go ahead and start dressing like a wizard in public.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Authoritarianism is scary and dangerous but so very far from invincible. And if you let yourself be convinced too much of their power, then they've won. Authoritarianism is built on fragile illusions of control and competence. It's hard but brittle and shatters readily under even a little pushback.

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

Everything is awful right now but reading this for the first time last night was awesome and I recommend doing the same if you need a boost. 5 min read

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

the capacity for state violence is vast but that does not mean it is infinite

This is the most detailed look inside Tyler Robinson's Discord community I've seen and yet again, it gives us absolutely no clear motivation, political in or otherwise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Every time something like this happens and I think of all the people who should be standing up to it and aren't, I think of this tweet

anyone who doesn't buy all the video games i direct will be at a cognitive, social, and spiritual disadvantage (they will go to hell).

news orgs really need to have people on staff who understand terminally online gamer culture, the amount of uninformed nonsense going on is breathtaking

there is something so disorienting about living in a world with miraculous progress in all kinds of stuff, including an Industrial Revolution-scale transformation of industry and energy, while US politics is *consumed* with the dumbest, most pointlessly awful shit imaginable bsky.app/profile/ryan...

Every single solitary thing any of them say they want to do "because" of Kirk's killing is 100% something they wanted to do anyway and have been hunting for excuses to do. If it wasn't this it would be something else. Fascists are gonna fascist. Quit blaming other people or events.

it's kind of jarring watching Americans fervently reject political violence when almost every national holiday in this country is a celebration of a previous act of political violence.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
