the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Those new covers!!! I’ll always love the rawness of the originals, but these are so energetic!

Logged onto FB to post a life update (I'm otherwise off FB) to see my dad (no-contact) posting "I AM CHARLIE KIRK". I mean, true I guess, since Charlie won't be a dad to his kids either, but at least he has an excuse for that.

It does. Proven over and over. We choose to do this, to punish the sin of poverty. We pay extra for the cruelty.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”"

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

A lot of oppressed people today are seeing our "allies" shed more tears for those who would murder us than those of us who have been/would've been murdered by them.

CNN talking about what he was "able to build." Yeah he built a vector for contemporay fascism. Fuck off with your mournful nonsense.

Utah was the first state to allow open carry on campus. A would-be assailant could walk right onto campus armed as they please and nobody could’ve done a thing about it.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."-Charlie Kirk in 2023, after 6 ppl (inc. 3 children) were shot & killed in a Nashville school

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

This form email was a super easy way to contact my reps!

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

I just backed The Art of Heikala: Realms of Imagination on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/hei...

Frustrated about the difficulty in getting a COVID19 shot and wondering who to blame? It’s not healthcare workers, pharmacies, public health or Big Pharma. It is Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. and every Republican Senator who voted to confirm him, especially Bill Cassidy.

Al Sharpton at the National Action Network rally today: "I don't endorse candidates, but I take attendance. Let's hear from Andrew Cuomo. Oh he's not here. Let's hear from Mayor Adams. Oh he's not here. Let's hear for Zohran Mamdani!" youtu.be/eznxz7ZA5Yc?...

“Large millennial man seeks Star Trek economy” is roughly 80% of people on Bluesky either literally or philosophically

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker

Long before AI, I had a college professor instruct us to sign up for a paid online course to teach the very thing we were paying for *him* to teach. It was the one class I learned nothing in, but really wish I had (web design). Hard to get motivated when the professor is checked out.

"home by the rotting sea" has been nominated for an ignatz!! i'm over the moon! AAAH 🫡🫡🫡🧡

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

She saw a fly.

@aoc.bsky.social's emails let people know how her office helps constituents, in this case with 3000 backpacks for kids who need back to school supplies. Does your rep do anything like this? If not, why not?

Interesting perspective on how call-in campaigns can affect change. The only arguments that work against a corporation are financial ones.

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material." So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?" I think it clicked for him then.

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all. The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

Bedtime buddy. Purring is my whitenoise. I’ve got a calming YouTube video on for him.

Just need to repost this again. Greatest productivity hack you can ever do, and good for peace of mind at the same time. Just Create Everything else will follow. Yes, really.

After all this rain, Texas is headed for a mosquitopocalypse. Empty your standing water, drain your gutters. Toss mosquito dunks into trap buckets. Don’t let anything sit like this:

So what level is the US?

The Sandman returns to Netflix tomorrow. If I had one suggestion it would be this: don't watch it.

Don't call it Alligator Alcatraz. Call it what it is: 💥 A concentration camp. 💥 #FuckYouRonDeSantis

Oh

Tone deaf fundraising mail from KamalaHarris.com. Would love to see the Democratic National Committee actually fight back instead of wringing their hands.

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

man we know, we want to know what congress is going to do about it, get back to us then, jesus christ

Old story for @politico.com Robert, like 1000s during Jim Crow, fled to the USSR. A TIME writer had said, “nowhere else in the world is a Negro so pampered as in [USSR].” But it was all a show. Robert would be spied on and trapped in the USSR for 40 years. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
