“‘Horseglue’ is a screeching call for moral clarity,” I explained in a statement to media, including @pitchfork.com about the news industry’s complicity in genocide and authoritarianism. “It is important to focus on how integral the Messengers really are, and that some of them are the 1%, too.“

The Pod Bros journey will come full circle when they insist “Graham Platner is actually brave for getting his nipples out. you’d never see that from Janet Mills”

just this perpetual cycle where the tech press helps zuck pretend he's innovative and interesting, he falls flat on his ass after setting billions in boomer ad money on fire, then all his employees pay the price for him being a pointless, unremarkable dipshit

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

“It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It's probably the best drawing I've ever done.”

“Friendship is not and cannot be a mirror. Other people are other worlds.” is what i tell myself when @zeets.bsky.social tells me he doesn’t want to hear anymore charlotte brontë facts

pretty worrying how predictive Peacemaker turned out to be.

I hate it when I say something that academics start sharing my posts they vigorously agreeing with. it makes me think I might not be maintaining a sufficiently esoteric and unreasonable ideology in the great posters' arms race

The two Americas

mariners

A closer look at Josh Naylor’s shoes ✨👀

what is it with double play jumps tonight

Can women be as big of losers as men? An investigation

Did a new one

As an adult Bluey fan, seeing Slavoj Zizek aggressively pushing for lighting stuff on fire scares me.

doug emhoff's law firm cut a deal with trump to provide him 100 million in pro bono law services and eliminate all dei initiatives. seven partners resigned, doug emhoff did not 💙

lol

Trump speedrunning his first term, trying to kill his VP in the first year.

me: ugh god you know how you make plans for friday night but then friday night gets there and you don't want to do it and it feels sooooooo good to cancel? my liege lord Daimyō Nobunaga (unsheathing katana): even a dog understands loyalty. She whose word is not bond does not deserve to live

I suppose I have to do the social media engagement thing since it's basically part of marketing yourself for a job now. *pushes up nerd glasses* Hi, political scientist here. It's generally considered a diplomatic faux pas to bomb your allies then call them crackheads when they complain.

Please tell me a First Amendment lawyer is willing to step up here and defend this woman.

Hugh Freeze’s tenure ending with illegal touching

Boy I tell ya

Just checked the rest of the schedule and uuuuuuuh…

lol

Not kidding when I say this is kinda what Tron: Ares was about.

David Byrne at #NoKings on his bike. (via @wutangforchildren.bsky.social)

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

absolutely have to run on doing it and when you win big on it, imprison and hammer these guys

Saw this with the Boys and there are a lot of baffling choices. does some interesting worldbuilding early, then reduces The Grid to a room and a hallway. Score bangs at least. Still charmed by Jeff bridges in these. He either REALLY loves Tron movies or is the greatest actor ever.

tonight is the night I became Dale Gribble and blocked the feds

we’d finally get to see this happen in real life

I really believe generative AI is a cognitohazard to an entire column of humanity. I don't know, there's a something it fucking does to people that displaces their own entirely-capable cognition and independence, further they seemingly cannot perceive the deficits of. This is not a moral argument.

Because the death penalty doesn’t already involve enough colossal fuckups, this case will conclude with a nitrogen execution. Just a deranged use of state power

more of this

“And what do you call this vulgar and despicable act of yours?” “The Democrats!”

Insanely creepy but also “our parents aren’t having children” lmao

lol they are scared if they are leaking private polls this early.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

My fav headline from this year:

*UGAvAUBRefStatementV3FinalFinal2FinalFinal3.docx has been opened for editing*

Refereeing has been disastrous, but you can at least still blame the lack of adjustments after the half on him. Pretty easy to imagine he spent the entire 20 minutes seething instead of getting the team back on program.

That’s a bar.

today in "predicted by 30 Rock"

Sister!

Imagine someone named Brilyn Hollyhand telling you anything other than “I’m a Hufflepuff.”

i need to move to a country that is experiencing mass religious psychosis, violent civil rights erosion, and a hyperconsolidation of economic and political power among the moneyed elite. But I ALSO need it to be opposed in name only by a coalition of feckless aristocrats. Does anyone know of one?

Listening to Morning Edition on @npr.org this morning talking about Trump’s involvement in private corps. Offered (and shot down) words like “socialism” but never mentioned fascism. Then they went into this story 🙃
