This was my very bad attempt at trying to do the Leo Great Gatsby champagne bit to my former intern.

How is it only Wednesday?

*10/1/2025 noncooperation thread* Pritzker calls on Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a President for physical or mental incapacitation. That'd be right & just! And unlikely! But just publicly *acknowledging* Trump's plainly obvious incapacitation is huge. 5/

Please. When someone mentions they're going to a concert. Don't immediately be like "Oh? I didn't like their most recent album. I know a lot did but I thought it was bad."

No, no. It's better that we all have guns. Because it stops these events from happening. The shooter might worry that someone has a gun. -stares at camera- I hate active shooter training.

This is such a better photo of us getting the award.b

Some stories you may not be aware of if you’re not inside the circles where tech industry workers talk to each other: the groups at Microsoft that have been organizing for years to stop providing tech to enable genocide scored their first massive victory last week. www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

Happy October!

Shark cat. Doo Doo doo Doo. Happy shark cat doo doo doo dooo.

One thing I love about Korean and Japanese comics is that you'll see knights in super western gear... And then notice them in slippers while doing stuff at home. Slipper culture is just much more pronounced.

I also don’t understand why you’d generate this, why AI allows you to create defamatory videos, why we are boiling the planet in order to end facts, and any number of things.

There are many things I don’t understand about this but primarily: this is not stealing.

This interview, I've been listening in-between rolling quilts, is just so fucking funny and so incredible. The yes anding going on here. Thank you, RHAP. I needed this today.

I've gotten more gobliny.

Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

All quilts rolled on a pool noodle and literally forced into a box. This is why people shouldn't throw away my quilt notes. 😭😭😭😭

One of my favorite things about NYC is the subway. Especially the old tiled stations with their gorgeous tile mosaics, so I wanted to honor those with this year’s NYCC exclusive! Introducing Borbs of the Boroughs! #art

What annoys me about the male loneliness epidemic is... It's focused on straight, white men. As if they're the only ones who can feel lonely. When the reality is that everyone is having this problem. And it manifests differently.

I did inform my boss next years quilt show I can't do this. My body overheating can physically not handle this anymore.

"It also found that suicide rates in Black male adolescents increased by 47% from 2013 to 2019. Black suicidologists say it’s partially due to racism." www.forbes.com/sites/mayari...

Have one to two more rolls of quilts to go. Praying for just one. Praying for my suffering to be over.

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

I need someone to come kill me. Please and thank you.

Chaos Gremlin Jinxe.

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

So many of these are people that you don't want to see perform. Of course they're taking the payday.

THE BOWLS AREN'T EVEN DIFFERENT HEIGHTS ITS JUST THE CAMERA PERSPECTIVE AAAAA

One of the photographers has priced their stuff at $1500. And like I love the piece but come on.

…🫨 1st Post: “Put in the Louvre!” 2nd Post: “Put it in the Louvre’s wastebasket!” It is always too danged early to deign yourself to contemplate cat racism. If thats your inside thought you may need to go outside and engage in 50 ccs of grass touch for an extended period.

Posted this on Reddit and I've been getting reported for suicide watch all morning. For reference, people do this as a way of saying "kill yourself" without getting banned. I can't imagine anything more pathetic than getting riled up about trans people literally just existing. Deeply cringe.

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

Creating an Alan Moore AI experience where he talks about how much he’s enjoyed every film adaptation of his work and his plans for a live action Swamp Thing starring Chris Pratt until he shows up and beats my ass

Looking forward to watching coworker figure out how to get these off the wall. He's left no slack for the boxes, with two nails on each side, there isn't really an easy space to get to the nail out without damaging the box.

A new week is born. An awful week. A change out week.

The coworker I do like is probably leaving. And I'm happy for her. But also really upset.

Can Alexa not mock/gaslight me for asking if her voice changed?

This is a very old book banning strategy. "This book portrays CANNIBALISM!!! It portrays TORTURE!!!!" and it turns out to be The Hobbit or something.

Bluesky leadership has been doing this thing where they frame all objections to their censorship as "Oh, you support posting SEX CRIMES??? GO MAKE YOUR OWN APP, PERVERT!!" Bluesky censored the literal Keystone Cops for violence. They flagged a Victorian trick film for violence. Sit the hell down.

...I live in a red state. A democrat who is pro life will never win this state. You can run the kindest, most genuine, most right on all issues democrat in this state and it won't be enough. Maybe actually focusing on shit we can do and win in red states is a start.

I really liked what Coates said here, but Klein just kind of brushes past it

lol what Ezra Klein completely ignores here is how for many, because of race, gender, and/or class, the price of engaging in "unfriendly conversations is significant harm or DEATH. 🤷🏿‍♀️

the pro-life comments from klein really are galling because despite his constant hectoring about persuasion, klein doesn't make any attempt to explain why he thinks pro-life democrats can win back red/purple seats. he presents it as a given without making the case.

i find the idea that we should win every fight, every time, to be an incredibly childish way of looking at politics, and even if i think klein deserves credit for having TNC as a guest to (mildly) criticize him, that part, and his comments about pro-life politicians, really stood out to me.

AND ANOTHER THING! With all of these conversations around censorship, I continue to be really upset about some people refuse to see the through line to trans and reproductive rights AND our countries rejection of comprehensive sex ed.

"You're irrelevant now that's you've left Twitter!" But also "BLUESKY IS MELTING DOWN, I'VE SEEN IT, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!" Pundits, man. I've been posting Charley Chase GIFs all day.

Here’s a gift link if you still need one:

Everyone has already said all the sophisticated and politically astute things there are to say about this but I would just like to add: boy is this exhausting.

it's genuinely some sort of greek tragedy that the guys in the '10s who were successfully like "i'm tired of pundits who rely on vibes, we simply need to examine the numbers" guys became vibe pundits within a decade
