@energystate.bsky.social Just heard a song on the radio that reminded me of you: "I Can Ride My Bike With No Handlebars". I remember you rocking it at karaoke one time while I was out visiting you. Hope you're doing well. Miss you, friend.

Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.

At what point does the New York Times get charged as organizationally conspiring to abet human trafficking of minors.

One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*. They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.

America, in 25 years: "Many places may become uninhabitable. Many people may be on their own." Good reminder what's at stake www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Another close up from last week's page #art #BadInfluenceComic #OCSky

As I've said, we're in a federally mandated relationship with the worst person you know. That's fucked up.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Got a little bit of mod work done today, after too long away. While I'm glad to be getting back in the saddle, I just hope I can finish this port to 1.21.latest *before* 1.22 comes out. Porting to new versions of Minecraft isn't nearly as fun as adding new game features.

Finally finished Strange New Worlds season three tonight. Not sure how I feel about the finale this time, but the rest of the season was great.

I am so eager for a generation of Democratic politicians who have no institutional memory of what Republicans were like before Bush. Give me the ones who call Cheney "Darth Vader" thanks to The Daily Show, who saw their old relatives stand with a man who said "grab them by the pussy."

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

Democrats helped Republicans kill a ten billion dollar industry in order to cave on the shutdown.

I love Choppy! Chop chop!

Have you considered kicking out the people who gave up the fight and picking a new leader who is capable of leading the same

Even AP is like "they caved for no reason" Like Jesus. What are we even doing. apnews.com/article/gove...

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate

It’s clear no one in DC has any kind of plan to improve American healthcare. The Republican plan is to buy it yourself, while Democrats can’t organize a fight for Medicaid or the the ACA. Medicare for All is the only plan anyone has offered, and anyone who doesn’t support it needs to be primaried.

You, too, can become "talented" if you hyperfixate on a skill for years and years and years and years and years and

Dear Seattle friends:

With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans? Ugh.

quisling-ass senate

both sides are human beings that deserve the same things: great schools, affordable healthcare, ample food, a livable climate, and a fair shot at upward economic mobility one side will carry water and chop wood to get us there, the other side will keep putting holes in their buckets the whole time

Seeing a whole lot of Dem senators rushing to get their heartfelt, “I voted no” posts up. Remember that those 8 yes votes were carefully selected bc they aren’t up for reelection. The caucus picked who would take the fall so the rest could claim to be on our side. I don’t trust any of them rn.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Schumer would sell his soul to the devil for a box of Cheezits and a promise that Satan will totally think about torturing him less.

The thing about ACA is that if an American describes how it works to someone from literally anywhere else, the other person will be utterly horrified at its deliberate cruelty. The way the horror of pre-ACA healthcare sounds to an American, is basically how ACA sounds to everyone else on earth.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

I'm in wait and see mode right now but it comes to mind that the reason you don't have to quarantine for covid anymore was the airlines.

Republicans took away your healthcare. We refused to fight back. Please rush us $3

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

this actually still fucking sucks because it’s still mocking disability and framing it as punishment. this dem influencer account posts shit like this regularly, and it sucks that some of my oomfies still follow it

“Ok, 700% of what you’re asking for, but that is my LATEST offer. Take it or leave it and I’ll offer you 800%, and that is IT unless you ask.”

Some of my recent favorite what in the sam hill pieces. As always, a big thank you to @peculiarityshop.bsky.social for believing in my (very) weird work.

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

Rosalind Franklin was only 37 when she died of ovarian cancer and she had ALREADY discovered the shape of DNA. She did not live to see her erasure by the Nobel committee in 1962. Anyway, fuck this guy and restore funding to the cancer moonshot, so the next Rosalind Franklin can live.

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes.
