Apparently because I wasn’t crystal clear that I was comparing Platner to Stein and not the OP to Stein, I have random commenters asking if I’m a Republican troll. So that’s fun. Christ.

In Stardew Valley's otherwise complex agrarian system, there is a striking lacuna: composting. Coupled with the village's lack of bathrooms, Pelican Town's unwillingness to engage with the abject reality of animal waste makes it an avatar for modernity's rejection of the body. In this essay I will

Does…does he think he’s been in office for three terms?

this line from alito’s opinion, that the question before the court was “whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act should be added to our very short list of compelling interests that can justify racial discrimination,” is truly orwellian

Happy "Hitler Killed Himself in a Bunker Day" to those who celebrate.

What happened at the Supreme Court is about anti-Blackness and curtailing Black political power. Trump as a corrective to Obama. Anti CRT/ DEI as a corrective to Black Lives Matter and Black progress in education and the workforce. Anti-Blackness is America’s favorite manner of self-harm.

The word for this is "coup."

sometimes my brain just rejects the fact that we gave these people all this power. it’s simply unbelievable

doing things to help the people who live near you is a very good way to abate your stress about the world at large. there is very little you can do to prevent the horrors far away, but there is so much you can do to care for your neighbors

My stepdad died suddenly and unexpectedly last night. I’m staring at a plastic bag with a sweatshirt my husband and I bought for him that was too big, and that he gave me just last weekend to return. I don’t know what to do with the sweatshirt. Death and grief are just tangled messes of nonsense.

The benefits of new housing are mostly enjoyed by the people who get places to live, not the developers who build them.

Texas tech now bans students from writing about LGBTQ issues in any form. Mentions of gender identity, orientation etc in textbooks must be skipped. Deafening silence so far from all the brave heterodox free speech absolutists www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

My entirely subjective sense is that I'm seeing Dem politicians, candidates, pundits, and voters ramping up talk about what the party's post-midterms and (particularly) post–2028 election agenda needs to be. It really feels like those conversations have kicked into gear in new ways in recent weeks.

I’m once again going to recommend everyone read “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality” by Jane Ward, which examines how hatred of women is integral to straight male culture and to the sticks and carrots that enforce compulsory heterosexuality.

And if you say it in a cheerful breezy voice without slowing down as you pass the scale, there’s a good chance you’ll already be in the exam room before they’ve even had a chance to consider responses!

Thankx to THE BOSS for having Public Enemy perform at Springsteen Center American Music Honors ,, we should all always continue to FIGHT THE POWER

Republicans genuinely didn't think Democrats would ever fight back in kind and it's hilarious to see them panic at the thought of them actually taking on Trump by his own rules.

UFC Broadcasters Look Like It

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.
