New open day! Asvine P20 in Galaxy with Medium #6 nib, top. Asvine V800 in Sky Blue with Medium #8 nib, bottom. Holy hell these are juicy writers!

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

Coalie sounds like an old timey slur.

Abolish ICE

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

But also, I would ask that people try to have at least a little bit of grace in not immediately jumping to conclusions that someone explaining something is endorsing everything bad. Life is short. No one needs that shit. Off to do some work.

If you are visiting here from X because the CSAM thing was a bridge too far, welcome. I'd encourage you to carefully consider whether the things you heard about Bluesky on X are true or whether they were lies spread by the guy who owns X who controls what posts you see on his site.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Fuck you, Bari. Enjoy the video everyone!

oh the CBS bosses went to dylan byers? then they are definitely lying.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

These people all go to rich people megachurches so they have no idea how freaky this looks to normal people

Why the fuck do lazy reporters keep subjecting us to this vapid bullshit? Oh cool, yet another Cletus safari, great fucking work you lazy shit. It was pointed out to me that they never find normal people for things like this. I wonder why?

It would be fucking cool if folks could stop being giant assholes about the speeding chat. The people who favor speeding need to acknowledge the risks they are taking and the people advocating purity need to understand they aren’t engineers and their ideas to stop speeding won’t fucking work.

Day 2 of inkvent! A deep purple with a green shimmer. #adventcalendar

It’s inkvent time! Diamine “Celestial Skies”. Basically a dupe of Emerald of Chivor, but a strong first day. #adventcalendar

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Can’t wait to see a bunch of reporters flee Bluesky because normal people had the spine to point out how utterly shitty the NYT has become. Maybe stop going to the same five dinner parties and actually listen to why people are angry at you for once in your life.

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

The fact that a lot of leftists despise Parks and Rec - one of the best and most sympathetic depictions of non-cop government in modern media - is a symptom of the fact that a lot of the left has no idea how to actually implement the policy proposals they want to enact.

BRO WHAT

This dipshit doesn’t understand that you don’t talk about shit when there’s an open case. “Katie Porter moment” my ass.

Welcome, new users. Posts on Bluesky are called skeets.

He steps aside as the bull is coming.

who could have imagined that liberals would get beyond visual range air combat in the national divorce

The reason Charlie Kirk is being lionized by so many journalists is simple: he was very good at cultivating journalists and it seems a lot of journalists don't seem to understand the concept of being cultivated as a pet reporter in exchange for scoops or leads. They think he was their friend.

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

This is a seriously bullshit claim as those blue states are loaded to the gills with batshit crazy republicans.

Unmatched.

This feels like it happened three months ago by now but I wrote about it anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

It still pisses me off to no end that Perry Mason was cancelled and The Gilded Age was renewed. What absolutely trash television.

SB 5041 levels the playing field for workers who are fighting for fair wages and working conditions. Strikes are a last resort, and while they are an important tool for workers, they can be financially debilitating.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

The remake of American Psycho is looking great so far!

Goddamn man, it must hurt so much knowing they don’t want you on real tv anymore. This is your life now. You’re one step above telling “the real truth about LGBT!” on a YouTube short, somewhere in a lonely Burger King parking lot wedged behind the wheel of your parked Festiva.

(1/X) Gonna warm up to get ready for some longform stuff (probably not on Substack after the replies on Tuesday) with another tweet storm.... One thing that coverage of the DOGE disaster misses is how much normal people are freaking about it...my wife told me her best friend...

How can this person be so fucking stupid?

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
