Another day, another cold-blooded murder.

We live in a dictatorship.

wow it sure is hard to get around this city without a car...but I'm sure the city, our local transit authority, and leadership for the city's transformational beltline project haven't formed a secret cabal to shut down public transit. Time to take a big sip of coffee and check the news....

Heroes are real.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

I've spent the last three weeks wrestling with Wake Up Dead Man. Here are some of my thoughts—I have many more. I am wildly grateful to talk about art that deals seriously with the world we've created, and somehow still holds on to hope. reactormag.com/entirely-too...

NYT EDITORIAL DESK "did you do that Nuzzi profile?" "sure did, boss, real fuckin sexy, just like you liked" "you're correct, i did ask for that, now time to search for my name in the epstein emails"

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

Do the right thing @ossoff.senate.gov and @warnock.senate.gov. Stand and fight now - it will only get harder if you cave again.

Phew. This is the best thing I’ve read this week and is absolutely worth your time.

I immediately texted this to somebody and then realized I surely, surely must've fallen for a fake screenshot. But no, this is where the NYT is. Jaw dropping, even for them. @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social "if newspapers could kill" spinoff when?

Right then, right now.

Mamdanimentum

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

October 30, 1982: During his second career NBA game, Atlanta rookie Dominique Wilkins dunks on Larry Bird of the Celtics. Wilkins scored 22 PTS. Bird had 21 PTS/14 REB and Cedric Maxwell added 21 PTS in Boston's 112-97 victory. Dan Roundfield had 22 PTS/15 REB for the Hawks.

The worst people doing the worst things.

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call “real Americans” engaging in protest.

No Kings ATL!

Still my favorite band.

Damn.
