Just an incalculable loss from which we won’t soon recover. Alice was the best of us and I hope we all do (or keep doing) the kind of good work that burnishes her memory. Fuck ableism. “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

Rogue Rogue Taps Out … a damn shame.

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

It’s a sign, Jerry is risen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the people’s republic of china and to the wings for which I stan, one nation under xi, autocratic, but with drums and flats for all.

SUNday! eh, eh, see what we did there?

Such a ridiculous setting for an Adam Silver interview. Knicks city dancers parading by. The game going on in a split screen. Great get, but why is this not during the half.

"You are who I love, throwing your hands up in agony or disbelief, shaking yr head, arguing back, out loud or inside of yourself, holding close yr incredulity which, yes, too, I love I love yr working heart, how each of its gestures, tiny or big, stand beside my own agony, building a forest there"

Shakedown > Skyrizi on the fox broadcast. Good stuff.

Streaming services are going after shared accounts like Micheal Corleone at the end of Godfather II. Prime, HBO, and Netflix shutting things down within a few weeks of each other. Damn.

So many inflatables at the protests, I’m starting to worry about a false frog attack.

While we wait for the 9th (and now 7th) Circuit to address the issue of guard deployment, I keep coming back to this. If Portland's "facts on the ground" are legally sufficient to deploy military on our streets, the days of whimsy as protest are over. Because why bother. 🧵 1/x

Please end this game so I can walk my dog and go to sleep.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

I love it when people try to say bad stuff about Portland but we just end up sounding rad as fuck.

Eric Collins calling that win is the Panthers super bowl. Gus Johnson is doing AMSR compared to Collins.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

A few other lovers of East Portland and I are starting up a local news source called @eastportlandvoice.bsky.social. We are still warming up, so please subscribe, share, and engage! <3 #eastportland #portlandoregon #localnews

If people just got comfortable saying disabled and disability and reckoned with these as neutral identity markers, without the implied pity and assumption that they’re some kind of punishment that remove a person’s possible contentment or humanity, we’d be better off. But instead we get ableism.

Given what happened to Lot’s wife, shouldn’t it be Sodium & Gomorrah? Na

Amazing stuff.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means

Mike McDaniel right now.

It’s very Gob Bluth.

Lots of people bringing up the jokes made about Paul Pelosi. Those jokes were very bad. Except for the ones that referenced Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. Clang! Clang!

It really sounds like he is sending Melania to the widow. Weird time to be cracking don rickles jokes.

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Mike McDaniel right now.

I’ll be tired of it soon enough, but this steady Portland drizzle feels great.

I’m moved by this story

Want a peak behind the SLM curtain? Co-fiction editor Anne Rasmussen @whatll-i-do.bsky.social talks all about her journey to Split Lip and the stories that excite her in this interview with SLM intern Ella Schweizer: buff.ly/VBPD7Zi

It’s so good. So funny. Art.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

It's some bullshit that they named it "The Golden Bachelor" instead of "Statin Island" and whatnot.

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

I know a man that don’t have custody of his kids not talking 🤨

Happy birthday to Night of the Hunter, which inspired a story in which I imagine Mr. Peanut to be the embodiment of Robert Mitchum in this creepy, iconic role: barrenmagazine.com/application-...

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Please don't let the sound quality stop you from watching these videos (like I did). So grateful to the folks in District 3 that voted for Councilor Morillo. Imagine if all our elected officials had the courage and ability to speak to and WITH the people they represent. bsky.app/profile/jere...
