the reason you, a middle-aged man who works for a studio, should refuse to meet with Harvey in his hotel room is not that he will victimize you, it is that by doing so you make it look less suspicious when he meets with his victims there

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

I'm terrible at estimating crowd sizes but there was at minimum 1,000+ people who turned out to the **KID-FOCUSED** No Kings rally at Welles Park. Cannot overstate how much everyone in Chicago is so sick of these guys #nokings

Taught the 2-year-old son to say Shohei Ohtani's name a few days ago, he's gonna lose his mind when he wakes up

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Mods are asleep post brassicas

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

they think of writing as work, and think well if i could get a magic box that did my work for me, of course i would use it. and they legitimately do not understand why some people are appalled by the idea of producing content with AI

i think the fundamental disconnect here, and i say this as an engineer without much creative talent, is that a lot of people who don't do creative things regularly (or ever) look at creative output (writing, music, whatever) as a product, and consume and experience it like a baby looking at a mobile

These guys are so vulnerable to defecting to Chicago

Like, it shouldn't feel like Doing Politics to say that I'm just tired of having to think about these guys every day. Nothing is ever enough, and every sunrise brings with it a new opportunity to push some new line somewhere. Doesn't feel great

This hits hard living in Chicago, one of the biggest cities in the country, and we're living through a daily nightmare of our neighbors being kidnapped and kids being afraid to be transported to school. Everyone needs to know they're bagging legal residents, green card holders. It's unsustainable

Not surprising at all that JID has the best verse on Alfredo 2, a wonderful album with many wonderful verses Listen to Gold Feet on your streaming service tidal.com/browse/track...

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

Zombie fiction is, at its core, about the fear of seeing your own body age and decay. Ghost stories are about the impossibility of grappling with the past. Vampires are about what if you got so horny you died

My kid's elementary school is lovingly reaching out to parents to share tips on how to organize against ICE activity and protect our neighbors in Chicago, in case any national reporters would like to get around to reporting on how much we locals loathe this occupying kidnapping force

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Taking notes that Robert Garcia is the type of Dem that has the skills to get an outlet like Politico to do stenography for him (complimentary) and allow him to shape a news cycle-- www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

Jim Henson would've been 89 years old today. Commemorate his life and legacy by celebrating creativity, diversity, imagination, peace, and just plain silliness. Walk with me a bit while I talk about Jim and his work--and leave your comments about what he means to you. Right this way. /1

when you're the frequent flyer / flightaware freak in your marriage and your spouse is flying without you

This woman is incredible. Gets thrown to the ground twice, and each time she gets up and calmly comes back to retake her position. The ICE goons seem genuinely *intimidated* by her when she comes back after the 2nd time she was tossed around. 7-8 of them backing away from her in shame

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

The intense vertigo of smashing repost on Bill Kristol saying trans rights with his whole throat should give everyone pause about dismissing persuading pundits as hopeless

Honestly it seems to me that one of the most important tasks for modern parents is raising their kids to be mostly offline normies

Immediately adding this into my lexicon.

Life is short and the hour of our death is a mystery, so no, I will not rate my transaction

rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides

“Having a guy” for a task is the number one most important thing you can do as you get older. We need to cultivate your guys, and the greatest honor is to be someone else’s “guy.”

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Did you ever do a great joke when there was only one person around and think damn I wish that had a bigger audience? Anyway today I asked my wife if there was parking and she said I think there’s a lot and I said well we only need one.

meta is truly the least-essential oligarchy holding an iron grip on society. they don't even make anything. not really. their premiere product is a grandma-make-insaner that nobody under 45 uses willingly and they're constantly breaking the law like they have the birthday boy privilege of a raytheon

This guys career is so interesting where he kept releasing stuff and everyone loved it and went “wow just wait until he does a full album” and then he did and everyone went oh my no

a buddy of mine in high school was on a rap battle forum and I remember him explaining you couldn't ever post on friday or saturday nights because people would bring up you bein home on the weekend against you in their verse

I'm in genuine awe at this man's way with words

everyone wants the computer to be my little buddy that I talk to and all I want is to use a mouse and keyboard and never have it talk back to me

If you see a man with a green dildo in a public place who looks like he’s about to throw it literally anywhere, It’s open season on that guy. Terry Tate, Office Linebacker. Let your internal DJ play Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff and the go to town. Post your GoFundMe later.

I've never seen anything unite my Bluesky feed quite like this article. The whole timeline rising as one in wanting to [redacted] these bros [redacted] with hammers, I can tell you that much

I don't think enough good things can be said about the people who worked hard to build the political pressure for his and everyone else's release, including senator van hollen. otoh there is no bottom to my contempt for the people who were urging the opposite course of action

the ending of this explainer might surprise you

this is a good piece and bsky is being extremely bsky about it

it is beyond the pale to view the existence of trans people as an acceptable sacrifice to “beat fascism” if “beating fascism” leaves trans people exiled from society you did not actually beat fascism at all
