I’m told that we can’t post our way out of fascism but they quite literally posted us right into it. Just another one of the many unfair things about posting and fascism. orbooks.com/catalog/we-h...

Valerie Cherish figured this out

Setting aside the implication and stereotype whatever Cambridge is becoming it’s more like uh… fuckin… lemme just look up “what tech guy city for shitheads sucks the most now.”

RIP to former NBA player Jason Collins, the first openly Gay, active, male pro athlete. Hard to explain what a big deal it was in 2014 when Collins signed with the Nets. He took number 98 in tribute to Matthew Shepard, the Gay teen murdered in a horrific hate crime. JC was brave and will be missed.

This sucks

Sure but The Curse, Chair Company, and DTF are three shows by creators with a very idiosyncratic style that is arguably paramount to what actually happens so trying to solve the plot is, I think, watching them wrong.

The DTF St Louis discussions were especially egregious in this regard. "Buddy I think it's just a show about how people are sad and lonely and self sabotaging it's not a mystery box."

I'm not fucking Baudrillard or John Berger either by the way, just invest a fucking fraction of effort on discovery and trial and error and thinking critically.

100% on both of these things. I heard a good song by xyz what should I listen to now? Fucking figure it out!! This is a different thing than people looking for recommendations of cool stuff if I’m not making that clear.

A big part of this, circling back to the OP here, is people asking how to most efficiently watch a series. "Which episodes aren't canon?" or whatever. Buddy if watching a TV show is homework to you what are you doing?

The dearth of media literacy thing has been around for a while, but never mind interpreting texts critically, a lot of people now just straight up do not know how to even watch a TV show or movie in the first place anymore.

"If you want to reach a lot of people you gotta post videos." Well then I guess I just won't fucking reach a lot of people. Not my problem.

They are gonna treat you either way but if you’ve already used up your physician empathy points and went and fucked around with medications then they’re not going to treat you as well or as effectively as they might have otherwise. www.welcometohellworld.com/they-want-to...

Have you tried stretching? Yeah man I tried stretching. This is especially an issue if you’re a person who has used drugs freelance.

I think the problem with posting, and we've got ample evidence of this now going on 20ish years, is that it's apparently a lot easier to make people evil and crazy with posts than it is to make them decent and kind.

I have constructed a very simple and badly formatted flowchart so that liberals can understand the position of leftists on the Democratic party

“No.” can be such a kindness

had a chat with @mikehuguenor.bsky.social about his new book 'Elvis Is Dead, I'm Still Alive: The Story of Asian Man Records' and the joys/struggles of documenting indie music scenes danozzi.substack.com/p/mike-hugue...

reading about they thought they were free reminds me of that harper's "who goes nazi" piece, in that the best distillation of the fascist mindset is probably someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to never feel humiliation again

Fattest, oldest, baldest, dumbest fuck president of all time.

It is pretty wild to see Zionists freak out about this article when, in 2024, there was a large "right to rape" protest in Israel. The protest succeeded in making the prosecution drop charges, and one of the perpetrators is now a star on Israeli reality TV.

All to preserve their inalienable rights to rape and torture Palestinian prisoners without the barest of limits. x.com/NTarnopolsky...

I was talking to my mother on the phone and being brought up to speed like an ER doctor’s debriefing at the start of a shift.

wow that sounds really useful

“Watership Down”

Hold on everyone shut the fuck up I never heard of this before somehow open.spotify.com/track/5qBeRY...

"Within social media platforms, offenses against straight white guys are considered especially heinous. On Bsky, the dedicated mods who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."

Ah crap cause to share this yet again. Gotta be the last time you’d think.

Today at @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Hell World: An excerpt from my book, If I Am Coming to Your Town, Something Terrible Has Happened. Great to share this excerpt with Luke, who I've written for for the better part of two decades now. I hope you'll read. www.welcometohellworld.com/if-i-am-comi...

Today marks 4 years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot & killed by the IDF while reporting in the West Bank. Both the Trump & Biden admins have failed to get justice for her killing. [1/2]

I love the convenience of ordering a thing of fuckin chicken wings and a hand-crafted cocktail to have during the first 10 minutes of a movie. From my phone. Delivered right to my recliner seat. Whole mess of napkins on the little tray the next two hours sitting there. $45 out the door. Simple as.

What percentage of elected Democrats do you think still don't know the Supreme Court is fake and the law is fake?

Sorry I got hacked

Greetings and well met weary traveler. Press X and to enjoy Luke’s Famous Spaget by the hearth. Press Y to kill me with that handsome broad sword. For surely I have it coming.

Happy WNBA season to all who observe!!!

For anyone who missed this one. Hell World is always worthwhile and you should always check it out but this one features an essay from me about the way society justifies suffering and excuses wealth hoarding by believing people get what they deserve/“choose”

Good shit. Read it 👇

90s-remembering had been going on since the moment the 90s ended, maybe before, but Yuck was one of the first bands to get the emphasis on guitar tone correct.

Pretty good nominee for # 1 song of that general point in time imo for all ages interested in rocking, dudes rocking, so forth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVC...

Still got one more to go but Beef season 2 is so good. They're all so fucking dumb and I love them all. Plenty of on the nose social commentary going on too, like The Pitt, but fuck it. "It's good." - Luke ✅ (verified good)

It’s hard to tell sometimes whether we’re actually experiencing something new or whether it’s just a repeated simulation of the bad stuff from before. This book helps straighten that out. www.welcometohellworld.com/if-i-am-comi...

Today an excerpt from If I Am Coming to Your Town, Something Terrible Has Happened - The Life and Times of a Domestic War Correspondent by @justinglawe.bsky.social. A gripping and heavy read about years of unrest and cop violence intercut with his attempts to cover it all while struggling himself.

I was just saying this to the boys down at the diner

"From the other end we often hear that we can’t tax billionaires, because that would be a form of 'punishing success.' The wealthy, in this binary, deserve their prosperity because of their 'good' choices and the poor deserve their suffering because of their 'bad' ones."

lol eat shit
