i subscribed to flaming hydra after reading this post btw

IT'S A GOOD FRIDAY TO VISIT THE FLAMING HYDRA SUPERSTORE!!! shop.flaminghydra.com/collections/...

His stories are changed forever and Diana writes about that really beautifully here

Btw, If you're a @flaminghydra.com subscriber, today is your lucky day! You get a blog from me about what it's like to see When Harry Met Sally on the big screen, along with some thoughts about why we don't have more rom-coms lately:

TODAY: @dianamoskovitz.bsky.social attends a double billing in LA of two Rob Reiner classics. "I’m paraphrasing a bit, but at one point he said, with the purest conviction, that as long as there are human beings on this Earth, we would watch Rob Reiner films." flaminghydra.com/r/c11479d3?m...

Equal parts ravishing and harrowing debut comic from @mkupperman.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-534/

"Despite their ceaseless use of the rhetorical cudgel of 'beauty' to defend their authoritarian obsessions, fascists contribute nothing to art." flaminghydra.com/fascist-art-...

We used @littlewow.online’s Haggadah tonight and it was really wonderful

I read through a ton of Seder supplements and made my own Haggadah! you can download it here! 👇

Part two of my discourses on fascist art is now up @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-535/

Last year I accidentally hosted a Seder where the majority of participants weren't Jewish and it was incredibly fun and meaningful. Passover is for everyone! Except the people having "Christian Seders"! You specifically can stop!

wrote about Götterdämmerung, the suicide penguin, and the madly problematic yet innovative Luigi Russolo, among other things

TODAY: @katewagner.wehwalt.net on the vampiric nature of fascist art. "Despite their ceaseless use of the rhetorical cudgel of 'beauty' to defend their authoritarian obsessions, fascists contribute nothing to art." flaminghydra.com/issue-535/#f...

Read Canadian writer and musician Nathan Munn on new developments in Canadian progressive politics, where @naomiaklein.bsky.social's husband Avi Lewis has just become leader of the progressive NDP. An exhilarating story flaminghydra.com/issue-534/

TODAY: a new comic from our newest Hydra @mkupperman.bsky.social! flaminghydra.com/r/f87abb4a?m...

If you love comics we have such a treat for you, please welcome our latest Hydra, @mkupperman.bsky.social, to @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-534/

I went to Paris and wrote about the GOATS Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. For @flaminghydra.com: flaminghydra.com/surrealist-s...

Much agreed. Real people have histories, memories, ideas, stories, etc. to share, and so are interesting; machines don’t have any of those things and are *not interesting.* flaminghydra.com/theres-no-ap...

LC forever

yessss Leonora hive

This is crazy! I wrote about this exact thing this very day flaminghydra.com/issue-533/

A relief to read @annamerlan.bsky.social's beautiful meditation on the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, an invincible artist who fought and survived patriarchy, oppression, and fascism flaminghydra.com/issue-533/

the women surrealists were way more interesting than their male counterparts

TODAY: @annamerlan.bsky.social on the life and alchemy of witchy surrealist Leonora Carrington, “her life and work suspended somewhere between the real and the worlds of witchcraft, fables and dreams” flaminghydra.com/surrealist-s...

Posting this excellent @annamerlan.bsky.social @flaminghydra.com piece without additional comment because I just deleted a sentence that contained the words "salad" and "post-horny" and I should really get some sleep.

TODAY: A rare Saturday Hydra to wish you a very happy, safe and fruitful No Kings Day flaminghydra.com/email/90858a...

Yes, I wrote about soccer again. This time about Mo Salah, one particular goal, and how his career seemed to be going one particular route of talented star on a lesser team until he pulled it towards immortality flaminghydra.com/issue-532/?a...

Even someone who knows next to nothing about sports (like me) will burst into tears and become an instant football fan by reading @zeets.bsky.social this one is really somethin, it is about Mo Salah 'Score Like an Egyptian' flaminghydra.com/issue-532/

Outlast the fuckery subscribe to @flaminghydra.com's journalist owned cooperative flaminghydra.com/free (try some free posts) flaminghydra.com/subscribe (subscribe)

TODAY: @zeets.bsky.social on Mo Salah. “You could see him force his way into the realm of greatness when he wasn’t initially marked for it. He made himself impossible to deny.” flaminghydra.com/r/c7af718c?m...

Wrote my first piece for @flaminghydra.com today. It’s about PayPal, and just how little of a clue young Musk and Thiel (and Hoffman and Sacks) actually had when building the company that made their original reputations. flaminghydra.com/issue-531/

no notes

Finally got around to subscribing to @flaminghydra.com to read @sarahweinman.com on finding her dentist in the Epstein files. Well worth the price of admission! And so much more great stuff to read too.

relatedly: @flaminghydra.com x @davekarpf.bsky.social is an excellent development, if my subscription were remotely at risk this would have done the trick (it wasn't)

now you know I’m gonna read this next (currently reading Sarah Weinman for FH on being a Grand Juror)

very VERY thrilled to welcome @davekarpf.bsky.social today to @flaminghydra.com A New Guy for Us All to Be Mad At: Bill Harris, enabler of the Paypal Mafia flaminghydra.com/issue-531/

TODAY: @davekarpf.bsky.social's Hydra debut! How PayPal got us to this moment in tech: "Young Elon, it turns out, was possibly an even worse executive than Current Elon. His ideas were uniformly and objectively terrible and everyone quickly learned to hate him." flaminghydra.com/r/68388010?m...

Fit check:

It’s the @flaminghydra.com logo, which gives some excellent Trogdor vibes.

Subscribe to @flaminghydra.com because it's IRL not AI

In @flaminghydra.com, @mariabustillos.com pays Ryan Gosling the highest of compliments, and now the idea of him playing Indiana Jones in a reboot is going to live in my brain rent-free for a while

TODAY: @sarahweinman.com vs. the grand jury system. "As it turned out, we did indict every human whose alleged crimes came before us, because we had reasonable cause to believe they committed crimes. But that doesn’t make the system kosher." flaminghydra.com/email/49df12...

wait hang on i literally work for flaming hydra. hope yall like kings hawaiian rolls

'Tequila' an excerpt from a new memoir by @anamariecox.bsky.social in @flaminghydra.com and it's real beautiful flaminghydra.com/issue-529/

TODAY: @anamariecox.bsky.social with an excerpt from a new work. “I have the sense of a stone rolling down a hill but I keep the smile frozen on my face.” Https://flaminghydra.com/r/3e5fd95c?m=1e1ac67a-2f95-4752-aff2-5b0a9ee15876

TODAY: @lesbrains.bsky.social in conversation with scientist Dr. Jessica Hernandez. “My cultures have taught me to look at plants as relatives. This is different from how a Western environmentalist might look at a banana tree.” flaminghydra.com/r/60ba7cae?m...

wrote about books as a key part of subcultural archival work (feat. @jrdarchivist.bsky.social’s work among others)

TODAY: @supremenothing.myatproto.social on two new books about underground music scenes. “It is this web of relationships that creates underground art in the first place, and makes it a worthwhile pursuit.” flaminghydra.com/life-we-make/

We would love for @dieworkwear.bsky.social to join @flaminghydra.com (he is super busy, I know) But yes absolutely flaminghydra.com (thank you @edbott.com) is also very good and worthwhile
