This is core mechanic of journalism in the age of epistemic collapse, imo. Statements are reported, because “Trump says” is indisputable. (He did say it!) Facts cannot be reported, because there is space for interpretation and disagreement. The NYT will never call a lie a lie. “ICE says” is safer.

Be annoying! Slow everything down! Make big public pronouncements! Don’t just roll over!

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

Democrats are still busy trying to figure out how strongly to word a letter

Every day we are seeing new and exciting developments in the field of cowardice. Such a huge time, a real golden age for sniveling little worms!

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

So it’s lookin like the only way for someone as white as me to make a video about how weird Zootopia is about race is to mention it in a video about how weird Zootopia 2 is about fascism

@eyepatchwolf.bsky.social I am having a one man emergency in the back of this movie theater, are you aware of who the fucking zebras in Zootopia Fucking 2 are

it's a real symptom of widespread anti-progressive media bias that an explicitly progressive candidate is expected to feel a need to be apologetic about being progressive.

Skye is always worth your time! Rejoice at his return!

New Video! Earthbound resists being understood. Here I go trying anyway. Join me as we analyze the game from front to back and unravel its ideas about love, evil, sacrifice, togetherness, and humanity 💙 youtu.be/1f-xI_NyVvM

Reviewers and commenters call Terra Nil “peaceful” and “hopeful.“ Nothing could be farther from how I feel. Hope y’all enjoy this casual little video about hope(??) in the apocalypse. youtu.be/-_ZbAeUs7Tk

Reminder on this day of Advent: If your Christianity isn't oriented around bringing down the powerful, liberating the oppressed, feeding the poor, and sending the rich away empty, the Theotokos says you are doing it wrong. #Advent #Magnificat

Meat Loaf voice: “All dogs go to Heaven / But bad dogs go everywhere” is that anything

What we should learn from this is that it’s actually pretty easy to change things, and would be even easier with popular things.

“When people try to sell you on the idea that the future is already settled, it is because it is deeply UN-settled.” Needed to hear this today. Thank you, @tressiemcphd.bsky.social.

Delighted to say that the BFI's Best Video Essays of 2025 poll released yesterday, and I was delighted both to participate as a nominator and to be mentioned myself! A brief thread: 1/ www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...
