ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

As I have said before, the broader silence on the ethnic pogrom of terror across this country is one of those things you can’t help noticing from the loudest special boy politics knowers on here.

Coming soon to colorado!

Favorite slang of the day: “煎韭菜” or “cutting chives” Used to refer to institutional investors making profits by betting against retail investors. Chives grow back fast, but inexperienced investors lose money faster

discworld pals! my production of men at arms opened tonight and it went SO WELL!!! we chose a 20s aesthetic for the costuming and sets to avoid mediaeval fantasy greys and browns and it worked out so nicely. I'm so pleased with my cast and crew. 💜

Like the deal on shutdowns since gingrich is “republicans hate people who get government aid and want them to suffer” vs “dems need to decide if letting them starve now or lose benefits and maybe starve later is worse”

5D politica Leveraging american meat politics to make universal lunch more palatable to conservatives by saying “well we‘re only serving vegetarian free lunches”

Everything around me is campism

SCOOP: China's top 2 gay dating apps, Blued and Finka, became unavailable on app stores over the weekend. Apple confirmed to WIRED that it removed the two apps following "an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China." latest with @lmatsakis.bsky.social

hear me out: victorian strongwomen are an entire beautiful vibe

after learning that I've come to think of the big standalones as the meeting of multiple organizations through mass solidarity? history might prove me wrong but whatever's happening there is interesting

Time to whip out the ol “macro should be taught before micro” take

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Just go with “bond is a pseudonym/title that goes with the 007 moniker” tbh

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

this is an extremely common and well understood surgery, obviously this was not a real number, but what the fuck healthcare costs are an absurd kabuki theater between insurance and providers and no human being can possibly be expected to manage this shit anyone who says otherwise is lying to you

listening to some of their victims tonight made me even more certain that the single best thing any of us can do to bring about justice for DHS is make sure that in three years everybody you know is ready to demand nuremburg type stuff.

Very much worth noting (with thanks to @sarahtaber.bsky.social’s excellent video on the topic) that “farm bankruptcy” is very often not the depression-era image of people losing their generational land but rather well to do landowners discharging their debts (especially post 2019)

Same vibe

the vigil was pretty affecting. it was great to see all the support from a pretty white rural community, for them to hear the story a daughter told of her green-card holding mother being brutalized, knelt on, and interrogated while the DHS guys tried to make them admit her REAL ID was fake

thread. interesting research but also, they named their french LLM Baguettotron i hope it sticks. i hope Baguettotron is the best LLM out there and everyone has to say its name

So every part of this is dumb but the idea that the Iliad is about 'fighting for princesses' is such a vapid take on a work that tells you exactly what it is about in the first (and last) lines. You can tell the poem isn't really about Bryseis because her return does not resolve the conflict.

Same vibe

get ready to tell many more people to their faces, “your ideas are dumb and i think less of you for hearing them”

Each and every donation to the Foodraiser generates $41 in matching funds and there is another overall matcher who will match dollar for dollar for the first $75,000 raised! In other words, even a small donation goes a really long way. Scroll up in the thread below to find the donation links!

BTW if you heard any immigration lawyers quietly celebrating the end of Chevron deference last year the complete and total disrespect the federal circuit courts are now permitted to show the Trump-shaped rubber stamp that is the Board of Immigration Appeals was why. It is such a delight to see

politics rn are when youre playing a social deception game and one of your teammates on the not-hitler side doesn't want to take the game seriously and you all lose and they don't know why everyone is so upset at them

Idk how people go to a shooting range and casually rattle off like 200 rounds, each shot feels like the breath of an angry god this demands reverence

fair use kink; you can fuck me me whenever you want without a license as long as I am being used for criticism, commentary, satire or research purposes

When CA launched Prop 50, it was polling at 38%. And so, we did it anyway. Winning campaigns requires that your GOALS define your actions, recognizing opinion - including who agrees to vote - is malleable. In other words, be a thermostat, not a thermometer. contrarian.substack.com/p/bringing-a...

How you know a snack is gonna be good:

low polyamory

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

What a weirdly specific privision to obejct to

"Young people took seriously what we taught them".

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I think it's also lost on these people that the concepts of masculinity changed drastically even during this time. Like Eisenhower had massive dandy energy lol. Macarthur too, who had lunch DAILY with his mother at West Point lol Also getting furious 'the russians' were counted in there lol.
