quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

i.e. one is saying things relevant to the present situation and the other is confused and ignorant

I listened to the whole exchange between Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, and to the original "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way" column, and among the takes this piece is the best I have read. Long-ish, so set aside a bit of time. (Disclosure: I have been on Ezra's show...)

The sky never goes dark in Gaza it burns with fire from above. Towers collapse, families vanish in seconds, children scream with no one left to answer. My family is among those running with nothing but fear. Stand with us, help us donate to survive this horror 💔🙏🏻 tinyurl.com/mt7r9ka7

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

the oregon national guard is being deployed to portland they could be in town as early as thursday

PLEASE DON’T SKIP US🙏😭 WE ARE HOMELESS😞 WE ARE STARVING😞 ALL I AM ASKING IS FOR FOOD AND SHELTER FOR MY CHILDREN🙏 IT’S BEEN A WEEK SLEEPING WITHOUT SHELTER😭 770$ STILL NEEDED FOR A TENT⛺️🙏 gofund.me/cbb32bf8 @mommunism.bsky.social

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

i mean the whole country needs to treat this as the existential threat it is. this was Trump threatening civil war. He’s going to tear the union apart. We need to act against him, and quickly, or everything is going to hell.

you'll remember colbert got his start on youtube during the pandemic, a respected website, so he's an obvious target kimmel is old media, on some channel you need like, a uhf receiver for, idk. it's like soviet era tech anyways, if he's going after small fries like that, it's open season

i think kimmel has really made people wake up, colbert was one thing, but now he's firing random c-list comedians on defunct broadcast networks. he could come for any of us now even @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social is keeping the charlie jokes to just the bullet points

Here is a drawing in my sketchbook of a food delivery worker who was too fast to be caught by a whole gang of ICE gestapo pieces of shit. Way to go! September 28th 2025. Pen and ink on paper.

pro tip if you're cold: put heat inside water, put water inside your body. like microwaving yourself but slower.

Sometimes I enjoy sunning myself on a rock. 🙂

if i ever doubt the validity of anarchism as a framework, i just have to witness the yearly school abolition discourse children are an oppressed class of human you condescend because you can, it is allowed socially but it still makes you ugly

hrt should be stored in vast underground reserves like dune

i like when people say things like, "you can't spell dysfunctional without fun" because it implies that we'd really like to, that people are trying and failing, and becoming frustrated

Rowling is a huge example of “never meet your heroes.” Her words helped me during my dad’s sudden death and my first heartbreak. As a young adult, I thought she was like me, a kindred spirit attuned to human empathy and seeking magic in the real world… but it turns out she was not like me *at all.*

CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. Seriously, all hands on deck, this is going nowhere good and is going to be a stain on our country forever. Call, please!

good show, good book

"I never fully realized before how a small mind, allied to unlimited ambition and without scruple, can destroy a country full of clever men." Aired in 1976 based on books from the 1930s, I, Claudius is the show of 2025. (gift link)

loving how much interest the Kingdom Come Deliverance rpgs are generating germany was really neat before bismarck and all that stuff

of all the dumb shit that sucks these days, the dumbest and pettiest shit that sucks is the way people fetishize debate. i would like to revert to the old roughly agreed-upon cultural understanding that debate club is for boring friendless nerds

those dang anarchists, always demanding basic human rights. why do they always harp on the "violence inherent in the system"? give homeless people houses? right after you explain how you'll manufacture sunglasses on your hippy commune! rights for children? whats next, animals?!

In case we forget because so much happens every day, I think it's pretty clear they knew EXACTLY whom they blew up because Vance said as much and I hope someone will report on this

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

lot of good jokes on the timeline today. this place is a lot better with some good jokes scattered about rather than an unending scroll of News

LOL "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place... www.kgw.com/article/news...

oh girl! you have no faith in medicine!

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

i've got this one, it's one of the best things i have on my walls <3

What could one bad Chicago cop cost the taxpayers, Michael? $90M, 200 years of people wrongfully imprisoned, plus his salary, overtime, benefits, retirement plan, guns, cars & everything he can fit in his pockets out of the evidence room for over a decade?

when one lives inside a corpse i suppose it's appropriate to become a maggot. look at all this rotting flesh for us to consume. don't balk at it, it's good nutrients

debatign a third cup of coffee. thsi fucker is being so bad faith right now

for me anime and anarchism are the things where i have to get a solid signal that a stranger is in the same headspace as me before i let them know i'm a fucking dork ass loser

I really do think people saying "children need bedtimes" is both admittance that you fail to critically challenge your assumptions about society and that you inherently agree that some people don't deserve autonomy.

my problem with genders is like, i order some gender donuts at the store, and instead they give me cookies, and i'm like oh i wanted an apple fritter, and they tell me that's not even a donut, and that i need to leave the wendy's
