If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows

This week I'm finally watching and reviewing MIRROR, and in preparation I'm opening up my other Tarkovsky reviews to read for free, beginning with ANDREI RUBLEV, the last act of which is perhaps the single greatest sequence in all of film. www.patreon.com/posts/57567163

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. They coined the term “useless eaters”. They tested the gas chambers on us. They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives. That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous. We’re not expendable

I think a lot about a guy in a yoga class 20 years who said "Do something that scares you every day" like it was supposed to be inspirational. I'm 44 and I'm still begging to get through a single day that isn't a parade of terror and humiliation.

I have often seen masculinity, conventional version, as a constant renunciation, in return for corrosive power. All the things you're not allowed to like, enjoy, do, say, wear, but (metaphorically speaking) this straitjacket comes with a gun.

I strongly support this kind of gloating, it’s good for everyone’s souls!

This morning I had the thought, what would it take to start screenprinting. And it turns out that Jim Winters, this amazing artist we know, made a really extensive and lovely video on the process, in collaboration with his husband. Wow is this the opposite of slop: vimeo.com/910587735?

As someone who's job has been entertaining men for 8 years now: They're, in most cases, so so much worse than I thought they were before doing this job. As a feminist I used to think getting along with them was just a matter of better communication and helping them to process their emotions. No.

Sometimes I draw stuff

I just hate it here. I want to leave. I hate it here so much.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE. “They’re failing all of us,” his mom said. thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/24/d...

This is a real image of a real thing that exists in the universe! And because a bunch of humans decided to get together and build a space telescope, we get to see it! 🤯

Abolish all prisons, but particularly, let's give Serena the love, care, community and connection that she needs. Fuck solitary forever, and abolish torture.

Should I buy this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beach towel with a spelling mistake? I don't need it, or have anywhere to put it, or even want it, but I feel like if I own it I will finally be given the respect I so deeply crave. maxsold.com/listing/7459...

Hundreds of people gathered in front of Toronto’s City Hall to watch the Palestinian flag being raised for the first time since the federal government recognised the State of Palestine in September.

I love this. it's so beautifully, lovingly, joyfully boring www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItRn...

I just found the copy of the inferno I read as an angsty teen and check out this awesome cover art

Jeffrey Epstein’s emails reveal a disdain for morality among the elite | Moira Donegan

I like to think that the saying “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” implies that tasting touching and smelling evil are all fine.

What, exactly, does this string of words mean? Why does everyone who stands to profit from selling "AI" love to repeat it? And what's the value of slogans that masquerade as history? sonjadrimmer.com/blog-1/2025/...

AI is a cargo cult for the myth of linear progress.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

This town has officially decided to fight against the construction of an AI data center that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away. Amber Fellows, a Ypsilanti Township councilmember, tells us why: Story by @mjgault.bsky.social: www.404media.co/a-small-town...

Did you know there's a World Marbles Championship and it's more than 400 years old? I thought marbles were just pogs for boomers, but this shit started as a competition for the hand of a milk maiden when Elizabeth I was Queen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British...

alors.... a style king........ un roi de le chapeau......

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Changing brain meds right now and I am not enjoying these emotions.

no

I am following the game only through the screams of my neighbours. Sounds tense.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I’m pro-choice too but surely this isn’t how to go about it.

We are going to have to call silicon valley what is is; a welfare program for the most goblinesque among us.

All of this shit sucks ass but it's insult to injury that not one of these people are attractive. We're under the boot of a bunch of hatchet face dweebs. I saw a video of Trump in the UK and that bronzer made him look like a rack of ribs.

Israel has dehumanised Palestinians for decades, eventually leading to the current Gaza genocide, say analysts.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Whose life matters?

A white supremacist shit head died and the whole world rallies to lionize him, my trans siblings get murdered constantly because of his rhetoric, fucking crickets. I'm exceptionally exhausted with existing in a world that would clap at my death and celebrate those who called for it.

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

They’ve started to sleep like they’re trying to fart into each others butts.

These stupid little tool pop up things Adobe added to their tools are a god awful nightmare and it look like there's currently no way to turn them off? I hate it so much

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

"pre-existing condition" is not a medical nor a biological term. it's a capitalist/eugenics term deployed to increase shareholder profit. it positions people not as human, but as figures on an actuary table. as numbers. using it on anyone--particularly children--just proves you're a dirty fascist.

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic
