4/ Borsook divided the tech ”libertarians” into two main types: the Ravers and the Gilders. The Ravers are the ones who go to Burning Man and project countercultural ideas. The Gilders are the Peter Thiel types, more overtly focused on money and power. But they are birds of a feather.

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

Three people in ICE custody killed is an atrocity, yes. But if we agree on that - and not everyone does as this administration is clearly fine with who in fact was killed - then what is this? We literally disappeared people. People with families, friends, lawyers. No one knows where tf they are.

Name a 90s TV Show U Still Dig.

The Media is doing a piss-poor job reporting on the terrifying situation the Sumud Flotilla find themselves in. 11 ships, waving UK, Polish, Italian flags, attacked by drone, flashbang, projectile and chemical weapons. Please contact your representatives and departments of foreign affairs.

I read this garbage. They define their dataset by saying “it was a terrorist event if we say it was”, then claim there were 5 left wing events and only 1 right wing this year. Their conclusion by the end is “both sides need to tone down the rhetoric”. What a bunch of horseshit.

For a bit of cognitive dissonance, here’s the original “Near & Far” sketch from the first season of SESAME STREET - But instead of Frank Oz’s iconic Grover we all know, this proto-Grover (a puppet that had been used in other Muppet productions) is performed by Jim Henson…

I believe this is 1 of the most strangely cathartic things about BSG. More than ever, in reality people with power & influence are protected from the consequences of their actions. On BSG, almost everybody had to own what they did—with so few survivors usually there was no avoiding consequences.

This. Autism and pesticides. Have Bobby and Donald started the autism lies to protect pesticide corporations? www.theatlantic.com/health/2025/...

google has been trying for months to build a new data center not far from my house. tonight was the final city council meeting and they officially withdrew their proposal! the data center isn’t moving forward! public outrage works!!!

Hep B is transmitted vertically (from parent to child) & via fomites (it lives on surfaces for hours, & if you know anything about (drooly) children, you can see how they'd contract Hep B). Even if it was sexually-transmitted, a preventative vaccine is still a good idea. See also: the HPV vaccine!

honestly? ‘Storming New Caprica’ is getting me through current events. no one is coming to save us. we have to save ourselves. it’s gonna be rough. it’s gonna be weird. but we’re gonna win.

When you’re using an infrared camera… If the picture looks like the Downward Spiral cover, the wall is dry. If it looks like Pretty Hate Machine, you have moisture.

Do you September? The 21st night of remember.

The worst part of watching THE TERMINATOR with youths is having to explain the multi-level department store where Reese gets his clothes.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Our founders overthrew a king and created a new government on the basic principle that everyday life goes better when people have the power to choose their leaders - not the other way around.

Relatedly, the “dictator on day one” thing was ostensibly so he could expand oil production and build a wall, neither which has been a central part of this administration. Instead, as I and others predicted*, he’s just leaned into the dictator thing. * www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This incredibly credulous (stupid) article from BrieAnna Frank at Yahoo comes to mind as one example. www.yahoo.com/news/project...

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

In our fictional dystopia for NIN’s “Year Zero,” Hollywood had been destroyed and rebuilt in Florida where it was strictly regulated by the state & overseen by Evangelical groups, so news was state propaganda and entertainment was sanitized pro-Christian content approved by the US Bureau of Morality

It was never about FREE SPEECH. It was always about the protection of HATE SPEECH.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

something to keep in mind is that everything the right is currently doing to trans people is just what they have wanted for decades to do to gay people; they just can’t get away with doing the latter right now

People Magazine has joined the resistance.

Commentary: Ohio’s violent crime rate has hovered between three and four times that of Washington D.C. over the past four years. So Gov. Mike DeWine's idea that resources should be sent from Ohio to D.C. to quell violent crime is strange ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/16/f...

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

everything's a fuckin threat with these guys. you will pay, you will regret this, you have no idea the storm you've awakened. you know who talks like that? school shooters

This from @garbageday.email is a vital read on the chaotic meme-ified motives. The lack of a coherent political narrative means the media won't even try, thus the right's "radical left" BS sucking up all the air: they make the most noise to push their agenda. If only we had an opposition party!

Even before the Post's firing of Karen Attiah, I wrote about the unbelievable irony of an unholy war to silence professors, schoolteachers, journalists and others who dare voice their opinions about the murder of Charlie Kirk, the supposed free-speech hero My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Maybe Jimmy Fallon should have him back on to sing karaoke or some fucking bullshit

@mmorzz.bsky.social thanx for the RS!

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired
