Healing is a sequential process It is impossible while the wounding is ongoing Healing is for the wounded Healing involves pain It is a thing a damaged body does Failure to completely heal is not failure to heal Healing is its own reward Healing is a mindful thing www.the-reframe.com/culture-of-h...

Every time I see a spider, I grab a cotton swab, dampen it, and slowly approach the arachnid. I get as close as I can and, sometimes, they’ll reach out an exploratory leggy, and then shove their face in for a big drink.

it's time once again for that evergreen Calvin Trillin poem: "The Kurds are in the way again" The Kurds are in the way again, And so, to our dismay again, If we begin a fray again, As it appears we may again, It seems we must betray again The Kurds: They’re in the way again.

A Not-So-Modest Proposal

This is Moxon’s most succinct* explanation of how we must deal with the current culture of abuse. It repays careful attention, as they say. *for Moxon

I used to work at one of the six elementary schools on Joint Base Lewis McChord. All of my cousins went to school on a NATO base in Germany. I promise you that you don’t have to live your life like this.

Are we still doing “There’s always a tweet”?

Wrong again, as usual.

This speculative essay caused AI stocks to tank yesterday. It’s long but extremely compelling. Unless we get a handle on the billionaires pushing AI Everywhere we’re going to have a major economic crisis in the next couple of years.

This photo is deeply upsetting to me, I can't tell if something has gone horribly wrong with scaffolding or if it is meant to be like that

Today I wrote about the Male Loneliness Epidemic, and the ways that a cult(ure) of abuse leads so many to seek paths of healing solely on behalf of abusers, and doing so not by building paths of universal liberation, but by repairing paths of domination. www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

On an Australian baking show some guy made a giant Pavlova and everyone clapped. Which was weird, normally in Australia they boo meringue.

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

Fantastic work by Ms. Kabas. Please support her by becoming a paid subscriber to The Handbasket.

Mardi Gras. Shrove Tuesday. Chinese New Year. Eclipse. AND a bunch of online psychics saying "IT COULD BE TODAY!". I'm gonna be so disappointed by those psychics aren't I? Dagnabbit.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

it's possible that Spanberger hates these people enough she could actually do a one-term 'burn the crops and salt the fields' demolition on the GOP. the memes from the tribunals would be tremendous

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

LMFAO what a bunch of cowards

It's time to start socially shaming everyone who places bets on Kalshi and Polymarket. Gambling should be like cigarettes: legal, but unadvertised and inaccessible. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

This week's newsletter had a ton of interesting stuff, if I do say so myself. Here's a thread including a lot of it.

Revolutionary Virtue Signaling, a thread: 1. The Gandhi Cap or Congress Cap en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi_... The Gandhi cap emerged in India during the Non-cooperation movement from 1920 to 1922, when it became the standard Indian National Congress dress as popularized by Gandhi.

Great news, son! The Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show Is On!

In this week’s newsletter, I visualized The Post’s losses, Bezos’s net worth — and how much that net worth has increased each day since he bought the paper. (That and a lot more, all for free!)

guess i’m not surprised by the racism here is really low effort. (i have been getting these emails all day)

It’s hilarious that establishment Republicans have to pretend to like Kid Rock. I want to see so many videos of them attempting to dance to his garbage.

It turns out that the problem with trusting billionaires like Jeff Bezos to be responsible stewards of the news industry is that billionaires like Jeff Bezos are moral cretins. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

If people laid off from The Post are wondering about maybe starting a Substack, last summer I wrote about why I wasn’t. www.pbump.net/o/the-power-...

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Providing that we someday have the tribunals we're absolutely going to need, Chuck Schumer is absolutely going to need to stand in front of it—as a defendant.
