The only hope for learning in the coming era is to make it the same thing as doing. 1/x

Culture is when you visit another family and they fold their towels differently

The tech industry just married itself to a paradigm that relies on cogent, well-structured, rhetorically convincing natural language, hyperawareness of social context, abstract thinking, and deep qualitative analysis skills. My hot take is the humanities are about to thrive.

If you see this, post a vampire

This is a bad headline

Just saw Tony Hawk on an ad for joint support supplements. We had a good long run guys

Maybe we don’t make fun of people with dementia?

Stone cold indeed I guess

A sunglassed, staggering Dave Grohl once bumped into me in a CVS in Hollywood at 2 AM

@pbsnews.org, the first mention of what happened to @padilla.senate.gov came 13 minutes into the NewsHour tonight. It should’ve been the top story.

RIP Brian Wilson. God only knows what we’d be without you.

Silt is…

No way

The Republican president: CORPORATE PROFITS ARE TOO HIGH

Happy for the new pope and all, but no one seems concerned about the smoke coming from the Vatican? I feel like the Sistine Chapel being on fire should be a bigger story???

We. Need. Basic. Research.

Man, times really are tough

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

You know what we do when this happens? We give them away for free

One more rant before I go walk the dogs. 🧵 There is a certain Type of Guy (person, I guess technically, but almost always a guy). You ask this type of guy about politics & they'll tell you they're independent, an iconoclast, & that "both sides" are silly & blinkered & don't see the big picture.

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Isn’t finding “probable cause” for contempt but not imposing it basically counting all the way to three and then just giving a stern look because you ran out of numbers?

If all these illegal immigrants invading our country weren’t selling their stock portfolios, the market would be fine. SAD!

@theonion.com you can retire now

Sweet, sweet victory

Talk about nominative determinism!

Ok, NOW it’s totally the bottom though, obviously. If not that would just be crazy, right

Our country is now run by the “You should’ve filed a ticket” people. Which is deeply ironic

Everyone in the United States should read this

Can we PLEASE make this a thing?

What I love here is the embedded assumption that the way to appeal to anyone is by appealing to their “image.”

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right.

I do think many are seeking catharsis in these times by making fun of neurodivergent traits. That is not the way to be better, friends. You have *so* much else to work with here.

Let’s just ban question marks in headlines.

“Here’s what they say”

Bread and circuses

Want to have an impact? Show this to someone in your life who supports the current regime.

It’s obvious that many right-wing commentators simply have no idea what they’re talking about when they attempt to characterize “woke leftism” at universities, but at least some must know better and spout nonsense anyway.

Higher ed in the US has been calcified by an administrative-industrial complex that has systematically dismantled its own societal mandate, and ironically, it’s now being punished for it

I went to a wedding last night so this really hits home

Legendary

I would pay big money for a browser extension to censor all instances of Tulsi Gabbard’s face

The irony of a resurgent “survival of the fittest” is that the narrow-minded are not particularly fit for the metamodern world

“Hantavirus” is such a cool word for such an uncool thing

Is the last viable play here a massive campaign to convince left-leaning people to move to right-leaning areas in overwhelming numbers over the next 1.5 years?

Dear manager, this week I: 1) Met a girl, thought she was grand 2) Fell in love, found out firsthand 3) Then I started to realize 4) I was living one big lie

tired: i’m tired wired: i’m tired, i’ll drink a coffee acquired: i’m wired, that backfired

@pbsnews.bsky.social I just can’t get on board with your platforming objectively evil people. I deeply appreciate @amnanawaz.bsky.social’s approach, but they’re able to spread more lies and do more harm with a microphone than any good faith actor can mitigate. Journalism needs to evolve for our time
