You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

The UFC is a great example of everything that's gone wrong in American pop culture, sports, and the economy generally over the past few decades: an organization run entirely for the benefit of its owners that leaves broken minds and bodies in its wake while catering intentionally to awful people.

If you paid money for a Bored Ape NFT you should be legally prohibited from publicly giving your opinions about technology. I realize that violates the First Amendment, but we can repeal this rule once we fix all the other unconstitutional shit that's happening.

DON HERTZFELDT, in this the year of our oversized spoon 2026, has uploaded a HD version of Rejected to his YT channel?!?!?! OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS I'M SO HAPPY HIIIIII

Blight's Race and Reunion is one of the most important books I have ever read and should be required reading in high school

Good answer Tom!

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

Controversial but I am pretty sure it's Oregon. The non-Portland population is relatively small compared to other states but hating Portland is their entire raison d'etre

This is wild: homelessness is now so intertwined with low-wage work that *proof of employment is actually a prerequisite* for housing programs like this one.

The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.

Modelo with a lime. Any other Mexican lager is good too, but Modelo is best.

🧵 Have I ever mentioned the possible relationship between Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, etc. and 17th-18th C. French storytelling games? It's more speculative than I usually comment on, but they're closer than you'd guess ... bsky.app/profile/ghos...

If you like winning — and want to learn how to organize for power — join DSA. There are all sorts of ways you can talk yourself out of taking the step, but ultimately we are proper fucked in this political moment and there are very few political outfits putting up W’s and exercising power. DSA is.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I want all of us to expect more and better from politics and politicians.

If I ever launched an Abolish the Senate campaign, I'd start by taking out billboards all over Texas with images of stereotypical Vermonters saying things like "we choose what's best for Texas" and Rhode Islanders saying "Thankfully, the Senate makes sure my vote counts 30 times more than a Texan's"

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

For posterity

"A game is more than the keys it asks you to push. It's the way its nouns ping around your skull; the ominous poetry of its lore tabs and weapon names; its ability draw you to a halt halfway down a New Pacific Arcology hallway so you can consider a rusted Golden Age logo."

We passed Green 3 which cut the sweeps budget by $1M. It’s a small reduction, but it earmarks those funds to support things like hygiene stations, expanded low barrier workforce programs, etc. It makes a small down payment on dignity by reducing slightly the violence of sweeps.

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws.

and IDK man but all these people talking about how the "open secret of academia" is that academics do bullshit work might want to consider all the academics - and I know plenty - who actually did do real work and quite coincidentally are now unemployed or adjuncting to the grave

You're so right Jeff, taxing your income isn't going to be enough

No one, no matter how strong or wise or great, can rightly own and use another.

MY IDEA - dashare.zone ADMIN

I wrote about how AI is destroying my career and what it means that highly skilled jobs are being deskilled with nothing to replace them Link below 👇

“We have made a technology that creates nothing but will ensure you have no future while we get richer and richer wait why are you boooing?”

Biscuits and gravy and twelve cups of coffee

Every week or so I think about the fact that the cops/government shot a white man, Alex Pretti, in cold blood and nothing has happened to his murderers. The murderers still have their jobs and the unarmed white man is a cautionary tale for white people to not challenge the white supremacist state.

When I was still an academic, I was MORTIFIED at the idea that I might have cited something incorrectly or imprecisely and boy has it been a surprise to find that lots of important people don't share that sentiment

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

in spite of every administrative roadblock this is going to keep happening, and they can't stop it

Haven't we suffered enough?

*solemnly, respectfully* Nate Bronze

Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century) aeon.co/essays/young...

I reject austerity. There's enough for all of us. I reject the "commonsense" scarcity bullshit espoused sometimes even by people who call themselves Leftists. There's enough for every single person to live in dignity.

Swolecialist caucus, our time is now 💪

Counterpoint: this place doesn't matter at all (complimentary)

Four indistinguishable middle-aged white dudes discussing grade inflation, that's our intellectual elite baybee

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Crossover episode!!!

New episode! "A Physical Education with Casey Johnston." We talk with @caseyjohnston.bsky.social about the structural barriers that prevent Americans from moving their bodies and why "at the scale of daily life, cars should be systematically discouraged." podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/a...
