Eventually someone's going to have to run on this. "I never said I wanted to defund the police. I only said I wanted to use the police budget for something else"

So now that the one dude has his show back, can cis people get that mad about all their trans friends and family being inside the political hydraulic press?

Niggas when you up pole:

Do y'all understand the power of boycotts yet? And will you take us seriously when we use them to reject genocide? Your activism *cannot* begin and end with Jimmy Kimmel's reinstatement And tbh don't resubscribe to Disney and Hulu

I also have concerns: I'm concerned that press outlets keep pretending like Harris has anything approximating charisma or political maneuverability

You're hating on him now but I just want to say that 6 months from now when he's already raised 10 million from Trump voters to "protect free speech" and pockets the money, you have to stay on that side

The Antichrist is here and it's a white man with a blaccent who lives in New England

He asked me to show me this more extended video. This sort of danger is almost constant, now. They really need money for transport to get to the south to survive.

Fighting games are proletarian. Puzzle games are bourgeois

In this month's newsletter, I return to Junji Ito's Tomie to talk through the familiar intersections of monstrosity, gender, identity, and the body that I find in the story You can read it here:

This does fuck actually

it's a mistake to use framing in which "sex = good, no sex = bad," because this is also framing that benefits rape culture. sex is neutral, it is not even really one definable "thing" but a cluster of social and interpersonal practices of desire, bodily interaction, and yes sometimes power

I haven't been around here much since I was warned by @moderation.bsky.app that my account was "violating (Bluesky's) violent and threatening speech guidelines" because I asked the CEO of Bluesky if she would give the same importance to the murder of Palestinian kids as to the murdered podcast guy.

"Meeting people where they're at" does make sense in theory but most white liberals are going to resist revolutionary action and will not assist on any action which seriously pursues progress. We don't need to engage rich and middle class whites nearly as much as we need to engage poor blacks.

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

Today, September 19th is the birthday of the late, great Tanith Lee. Called both the Princess Royal of Heroic Fantasy and the Mistress of the Dark, she gave us tales of the weird, sword and sorcery, gothic, vampires, darkness, and desires. Happy Birthday, Tanith!

Now that you're (justly) angry about Jimmy Kimmel, did you know that Palestinian Americans were evicted in 2023 and 2024 for flying Palestinian flags in their windows? It's true. I have a case before the Seventh Circuit about it.

With the news cycle focused on ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, a journalist with a valid US work permit and pending green card application is about to be deported for the crime of reporting www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It should be said there comes a point when you must begin to understand material conditions beyond the domain of the art you consume

Seems pretty convenient that white Dems keep reducing Kamala's loss to a racial issue rather than a series of strategical failures. Oh, no, guys, we just HAVE to run a white man, it's the ONLY way out, it's got NOTHING to do with strategy maaan

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Sahar asked me to share this video since her accounts are still being deleted constantly.

And a 5 star is the worst one you'll ever read in your life!

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

Seeing people doing another round of "ah, but the flower arrangements at the formal dinner were a subtle jab" or whatever it is this time and I'm so exhausted.

Ezra Klein's argument seems to be predicated on the assumption that speech doesn't really matter, which is weird, because if there were to be one person in this world truly convinced that their speech reaaaally matters, it'd be Ezra Klein

And, mind you, this place sucks

some of the replies to this are like a social experiment on what it looks like when a refusal to read the article and a profound belief that world needs your opinion on everything combine

Let's get that Balkanization started RIGHT up

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist And then once they got rid of the Communists Everything was fine after that Pretty simple honestly Don't know what the big deal was

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Samar. Before the war Samar’s husband went to Europe- he’s currently stuck in limbo in Greece and not allowed to work. Samar has been taking care of their five children alone this whole time Rooz, 15, Razan, 13, Ahmed, 10, Abed, 8 and Hoor, 5.

i cannot believe there are people on here still saying you should "sign up" and give your personal info to organizers of a protest. you do not need to do that. in fact you should Not do that

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

Here’s the thing about being a short story writer: there are a lot of you. A lot who started writing before you, and a lot who will start after. And depending on when you begin to send your work out, there may be a plethora of places to publish, or a paucity. (1/8)

BREAKING: UN inquiry finds Israel’s war on Gaza to be genocide aje.io/2h84g2

this idea that men are violent because they cant fuck or find long term commitment is so tiring and just false. women shouldnt go low just so a man wont shoot up a school. how does that not sound insane? lord have mercy i pray for straight women

I can't reply to compliments with "thank you" anymore it's always just "They're saying this"

horrified they weren’t quick enough to keep her from spreading this kind of vile hate speech on TV. for those who don’t know, “go birds” is a coded expression of support for the Philadelphia Eagles

I fear there may be very few things more annoying than a critic that feels themselves to be above the medium they're critiquing. Hate on the current state of the popular media therein if you want, but at a certain point it begs the question of why you're even reviewing it in the first place.
