This topic recently occurs quite often on my timeline, and as a Viennese my own two cents on that are: Red Vienna did really well in developing a particular aesthetic style. The Karl-Marx-Hof, the Werkbundsiedlung, Labor-Olympia, Isotopes and even Vienna-Circle-Style Writing all contributed to that

Thinking about X, as one does... Beasts, Birds and Fishes: An Alphabet for Boys & Girls (1855) by Charles H. Bennett

Sometimes, you wake up, pour your coffee, open up the internet dot com, and learn something new about this big world.

I wonder which of these games Wolverine shows up in.

What's the number on what this is costing us? Like an additional day of him losing the Iran war, probably.

IT’S MONDAY TAKE YOUR TIME… I’M THE BOSS AROUND HERE

It's not my job to be the Cheating Police, but I reserve the right to be appalled if I notice it.

Well that pattern sounds familiar. Hello from Hong Kong.

Would it have been better if it were The Mandalorian and Goku?

As a high school teacher I’ve noticed that the maturity gap between girls and boys has widened tremendously. No self-respecting woman wants to hitch herself to a man-child so maybe journos should focus on that instead of goading women into bad relationships.

The Catholic Catechism and the Baptist Confession of Faith state explicitly that God is neither male nor female, has no body or physical form. To think of God as biologically male diminishes the very nature of God. Everyone from Billy Graham to the Pope to the Anglican Church agrees on this.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

Let's say you were coordinating a fun summer activity around reading Middlemarch, and you wanted to "assign" your friends a certain amount of the book to initially read where they didn't get overwhelmed but did get hooked--would volume I suffice? Or would we need vol. II, also?

so tomorrow voting opens for the Michigan "I Voted" sticker contest and I'm hoping for some awesome entries like the famous werewolf sticker also if you quote repost anything about how voting doesn't matter on the stickers I'm squeeing about I WILL FUCKING BLOCK YOU. fuck your voter suppression.

This is a rubbish map 🗑️

On this: I’m a tall Brown woman with a strong jawline. A whole white woman accused me of being a man in a public toilet the other day. I didn’t correct her because my being trans or cis was not the point. The point was she felt entirely comfortable and confident doing that to someone in a TOILET.

🧵 On the racist Florida AP curriculum alternative. Teaching kids (In Florida! Including 🇭🇹s & their classmates) that the Haitian Rev was violent & it was superior (less violent 🙃) to keep slavery in the US. 🤬🗃️

I am so mad this wasn’t a COIN slide.

A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME!!

I think the 2026 version of this is that both parents are rich assholes, they lose their fortune overnight and are forced to live like the rest of us. I know Schitts Creek exists but put these people in the burbs with kids under 10 and have them go to Costco and soccer tournaments

In the UK, one of the delights on Covid lockdowns was reading posts and articles by aristocrats who were without servants for the first time in their lives and trying to figure out how to undertake basic household tasks which no-one had ever prepared them for.

I found an incredible map of sewers in central Boston for 1811. It shows clearly who had direct access to waste disposal and who had to carry their waste into the street to dispose of it. Also, just how subdivided and tiny some tenements could be. More literal History from Below! 🗃️

Also, the Mariners are undefeated since they memed me on Celebrity Jeopardy. Makes you think.

Glad to see my patented 'just fell out of a hedge' look is finally catching on

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

Hank Green did a video on how a lot of people have been doing this "I don't hate any race I just think they are inferior in some way, that's not racism" and, like, yes it is. And it unlocked something for me that feels really obvious about how people think about racism wrong

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that read "THERE IS NO CLOUD, JUST SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPUTER" and it took my last shred of self-control not to thank him for his service

Live and Let Die (#1 no doubt) Nobody Does it Better Goldfinger (And then For Your Eyes Only)

Ossoff: "Speaking of corruption, my 2 opponents. They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach who's only a coach bc his daddy was a coach ... they're both Trump puppets and we'll beat either one"

Ossoff details "Prince Eric and Prince Don's" corrupt dealings in Kazakstan and says, "here's the bottom line. If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God in front of Congress"

Happy day before Pride from the NYT. Can’t believe this isn’t @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

That's not how you spell that. [h/t @jhsilverman.bsky.social] RIP their menchies.

There's a lot of WTF in this thread about the new Florida ACT exam.

You might’ve sounded like a loon if you said eight months ago that the ballroom would be his I’m-never-leaving-power bunker. You sound totally sober saying so now.

Let the word go out now: If your seats are good enough that you’re seen on camera or by the press at this event, YOU ARE GUILTY OF BRIBING THE PRESIDENT. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

I mean, true?

This is what medieval theology was like ftr

This appeared on my phone. It looks like, . . . nah, never mind. I’m sure everything’s fine.

This right here.

It's very funny that this long, long piece about how women should be "hetero-optimistic" about men never actually makes the case for men. Instead, it says "yes, some men are incels, but" and then just lays out the incel case against women as if it was true. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/o...

difficulty scheduling the follow-up session is also true to its inspirations

Stephen Miller’s pathological hatred of immigrants has made stupidity and cruelty official policy across every department of the federal government. “Only American citizens and green card holders can be airport janitors” is ridiculous. This man legally worked there for almost 30 years!

United flight forced to turn around because of a Bluetooth speaker name

I had to reference something from the 1920s and I said "in the 20's...well, the other 20s" and my kid has suggested that we differentiate them by calling the 2020s the Screaming 20s as opposed to the Roaring 20s and I have to say, I'm not mad at it.
