Our secret dinner with Chef Tomoko Tahara, a sorceress of foraging, fermenting, pickling, and presentation. Scandinavian and Japanese concepts periodically served high-concept menus in her own apartment in Vancouver. Exquisite, highly recommended, and you should reserve your place far in advance.

From Minneapolis, no. He shouldn’t be posting videos with the call screen and user names visible, he shouldn’t be publicizing how dispatch works or how we organize. He’s putting the networks and other patrollers at risk (and did they consent to bring on his platform? I bet 100% not.)

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

Hey, pissful protests are legal last time I checked!

expectation: you will walk down the street hailed by beautiful white women thanking you for Saving The Homeland reality: a woman who looks exactly like your mom calls you a whiny bitch and the cute cashier gives you the finger and tells you to go fuck yourself and everyone laughs when you fall down

There is a Grokipedia article about me (and I assume anyone else who has a Wikipedia page about them) and well that was quite an interesting read (over 5,000 words). Let's fact check it, shall we...

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

I don't see ICE officers as particularly confident people, but I suppose it's all perspective?

I think it’s fair to say that there is a low-intensity civil conflict in Minnesota right now.

I don’t think Kamala Harris would’ve deployed a legion of tacticool sociopaths to Minnesota so they could run around killing lesbian mothers and tear gassing elementary schools at random

Certain numbers accompany us through our lives, connected to our memories of people and places, of significant events. What numbers remain with you decades later? And why? This poem is taken from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection...

I hypothesize that Pepe le Pew was a francophone Swiss pervert, like Humbert Humbert

Its been a rough day so I suggest everyone watch this kitty and his ham tongs.

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational

Oh COME on

A hundred years of poets, all tapping the sign, and do we listen?

This Langston Hughes poem is relevant af.

Personally I do think it’s very cool when you spend 2 years working on a project about a sport you love and then some guy takes the transcripts of it to spit out an AI script for himself to read over a YouTube video for money. Thanks David!!!!!

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Angelina Jolie was lapping these people years and years ago. I ain't giving them a medal.

He sounds a lot like he did on the period after he debated Harris - as though he knew he screwed up and desperately needed to control the narrative.

I am so glad the crack dealers were chased out by the meth dealers. Truly a win for the world.

We could have had the hyper competent lady who was the most progressive Senator, but no, she wasn't good enough when the alternative was the ancient guy now waging an illegal and immoral war. Great job, everyone.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

“And he must have found a little window, / opened it – and shouted through it – / that saving sound that saved me.” — Pádraig Ó Tuama . . . This poem appeared in From Feed the Beast by Pádraig Ó Tuama, published by Broken Sleep Books, 2022. Shared here with deep gratitude.

I've been following Yukio Akamine online for 20 years. During this time, the world has seen Myspace and Facebook get overtaken by blogging platforms such as WordPress and Tumblr, which in turn got overtaken by social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. 🧵

Five hours to accomplish all your 2025 goals Can you do it? No Do I believe in you? Also no

Try to be positive in 2026! Instead of waking up and asking "Is he dead yet?" wake up with a smile on your face knowing, either way, we're all one day closer.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Don’t miss this 🤣

Not the wallet inspector, but the Federal Wallet Inspector

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre. A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>. This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

We canadians are cool this way. You're welcome 😄

Amen

And may the odds forever be in your favor, blah, blah, blah.

The thing is, mass shooters are always caught - the perp would know this. Can you imagine? He's probably at home, thinking that there are 50 armed feds at his door. I imagine he's opened his door multiple times only to find nothing and wondering what the hell has happened.

My take on Trump's address tonight is that he's always won in the past by staying on the attack and refusing to apologise. He didn't defend himself: he proclaimed reality, ignored all arguments to the contrary, and went back to throwing punches. This felt defensive, weak. And maybe a little scared.

very weird feeling watching a seemingly coked out president yell at you for 20 minutes straight

The korean mystery drama Price of Confession is so complex it makes your average Scandi noir look like Jack Reacher, good Lord I can hardly keep track of it all

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Can we talk?

Please boost...people need to see this. 😭💔 A translator in the European Parliament burst into tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman, who miraculously survived the Russian shelling of Vinnytsia 🎞: Radio Liberty

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

"Er... the president appears to have fallen asleep. How do you feel about that, secretary Rubio?" Why does no one say this??

Mark my words, once George Soros is no longer a viable bogeyman, Michelle Obama will take his place.

I always thought the Millenium Falcon was Han Solo's version of Van Life.
