nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario

Need some advice: The car's on fire & there's no driver at the wheel and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and we're on so many drugs with the radio on & the curtains drawn and we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine that's bleeding to death. What should I do

if everyone is done making weird posts about "conservative art" or its impossibility you can now listen to our ongoing year-long tolkien series in which we are pretty regularly stopping to assess the man's politics as expressed in text and paratext vs how he is reformatted by the modern right

I consider it a violation of my personal human rights to have to look at an ad at basically any time

Bungie is leaving money on the table by not selling little plushies of the Marathon med-drones!

A take that didn't make it in here because it was too spicy to air is that The Fever is the skeleton key that unlocks My Dinner With Andre and turns it into a black comedy

It will never not fuck me up that the best explanation of commodity fetishism I've ever encountered was written by the T-Rex from Toy Story (also thanks to Lenore and Jacob for a beautiful lovely discussion)

Yes, THAT Wallace Shawn wrote a play about reckoning with capitalism’s horrors as a privileged person in the imperial core. @utopologist.bsky.social of @peoplesnewrepublic.bsky.social joins us to discuss his own staging of this show and the brutality of the challenge it poses.

Guy who drove me to the airport was telling me he's moving to California and that he was asking Grok how many trucks he needs to rent for his stuff

There are probably two peopleon this website who will get this joke, which pretty much means it's a comedy masterstroke

As millennials, we like Gen X also drank from the hose, but the hose was ideology

I read the Alan Moore arc of Swamp Thing so I could re-listen to Shelved by Genre's episodes about it and afterwards I felt like drawing him because he looks so distinctive

Happy birthday to the big guy himself

Imagining some different worlds and what it might take to get to them.

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

I literally believe that the US should be partitioned like Germany at the end of WW2 after this. Balkanize the whole thing. Don't let any successor state have a military.

Not beating those "Great Satan" allegations

When Bluesky goes down & you want to find me, remember that where there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Where there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad & I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry & they know supper’s ready

I saw someone joke "I wish I could mute words in images" and you can with image desscription/alt text! It's not just for the benefit of screen readers

Got his ass, genuinely

I have no interest in this man’s problems

Ah fuck, someone stole my ebike

just learned that my piece on teaching Shakespeare at WTAMU is out in Borrowers and Lenders: on sounding country, Shakespeare voice, and the shame of trying. borrowers-ojs-azsu.tdl.org/borrowers/ar...

My coworker is a decade younger than I am and just moved here last summer and he looks at me in a way that makes me feel crazy when I tell him that this used to never happen

CHIMING IN FROM OUT OF FRAME: also hundreds of children were killed

You heard 'em

Definitely* have a good time

People's New Republic is, I think, genuinely niche but if your specific interests align, you'll probablyhave a good time

Until I looked it up a few years ago, I thought being hoisted with your own petard meant impaling yourself on like a halberd or something, but the actual meaning is so much funnier

Turns my stomach to see cities with millennia of history flattened by United States and Israel, two of the fakest countries in the world.

Liz Warren was clapping for this days ago. Harris and Walz villified Iran on the campaign trail; Chuck Schumer’s TACO bit is in part about Trump being “soft” on Iran. Make no mistake, Democrats love dead Iranians just as much as they love dead Palestinians

it doesnt matter. just like haiti there is one thing that absolutely cannot be forgiven, and that's winning

cuba is not any threat to anyone, they are not pushing global revolution and since the collapse of the soviet union hasn't even engaged in military internationalism, purely medical and humanitarian intervention; their doctors saved millions of lives globally during early covid despite the embargos

We said it in November 2023 but Gaza is not dividing the Left, it’s clarifying the Left.

They don't let you into heaven if you chanted "USA USA" at or about sports

If you're celebrating this (you should) and also wondering why the Democrats didn't do the same with Trump, just remember that the Biden administration wanted to nominate Yoon for the Nobel Peace Prize because they saw him as key to their Asia strategy, at the expense of the Korean people.

Fuck, it sure does

big bill shakes is goated. sorry but i will never entertain the argument that he’s overrated. to write something like this and have it ring with such tremendous clarity four centuries later would be incredible if he pulled it off once but he did it dozens of times

not the CIA world factbook! That's how we tell which dictators are good and which ones are bad!

The guys at the lab where I get my film developed are out of control; I dropped a roll off an hour ago and they just emailed me the scans

More from Reddit. Apparently, feminist playwright™️ Lauren Gunderson, who Jeff Epstein described as "great" and who is thanked alongside Epstein in her husband's 2011 book, is working on a very feminist musical™️ about Larry fucking Nassar www.reddit.com/r/Theatre/s/...

The replies to this are basically this image. There are liberals living in a completely different universe than we are, and it's pandemonium

“Are the arts important?” Humanity practiced them long before they had use for science and will practice them long after math is gone. Is the dawn important? Is dusk?
