@hels.bsky.social loved your Bong review. Must go! I used to be an exec at Food Network 25+ years ago & I loved finding places like that to tell stories about. Also trading in our Makenna connection…wanted to share an online thing I’m doing on Tuesday nights in October poetshouse.org/event/commit...

If you’ve ever wondered if taking up the dusty (but vitally human) skill of being in relations with poems was possible or for you …come on down all the Tuesday evenings in October to my course “Committed To Headt, Committed To Memory” with Poets House poetshouse.org/event/commit...

@aestallings.bsky.social professor, I sent an email message to you through your website. Is that the best place to contact or is BlueSky better? Good luck on the big zoom meeting and glad the earthquake was minor!

Are you a book nerd looking for community and wondering how the existential fear of death leads to systems of oppression? I've got you covered. #booksky #mindfulness #deathdoula #APdoula #contemplative #presence #socialjustice rowecenter.org/radical-mind...

“The use of ignorance to establish oneself as a greater authority than the expert” is something I’ve seen as a problem for a long time, but I’ve never seen it expressed as well as it is in this essay.

@dangregor.bsky.social old UCB player here. You and I were in classes together at UCB/Magnet. Just got back from Naked Gun. Magnificent. Smart and funny. Too good. Glad your comic capacity is still burning bright.

Statement from @wgaeast.bsky.social @wgawest.bsky.social Fact: on July 15, Stephen Colbert called the 60 Minutes settlement a “big fat bribe” to bag the Paramount-Skydance merger. Fact: on July 17, Paramount canceled the Colbert Show. We call on NYS AG Letitia James to investigate.

I don't want them to be better at building concentration camps, but i do want everyone to understand that they are a) building concentration camps and b) terrible at it

Time for @scottstringernyc.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social to drop out and coalesce behind @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social who is great in his own right but also to change the Cuomo narrative

This needs to be on the Conspirituality beat soon. The self delusion/importance vector that the speed and smoothness of AI has intrinsically greases the wheel towards inducing pseudospiritual experience … cc @matthewremski.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Paging @flintdibble.bsky.social or @sdhaddow.bsky.social someone who does real archeology to help sort out this “new scans that change everything we know about the pyramids”. My head has hit the desk a bunch of times already. gregreese.substack.com/p/sar-scan-o...

For real though

Am beyond lucky and chin to my chest in gratitude by the invitation from the venerable New York poetry institution @poetshouse.bsky.social to teach my introductory course on all the Tuesday evenings online in April in just a few weeks. Check it and come on! poetshouse.org/event/matthe...

It’s on y’all! Come on down not just for me but for beauty making in time that needs it.

A counsel of delight in the face of fear and an absolute defense of love. Beautymaking as a mandatory response to troubled times

Mission complete when shared with flat earthers

These kind of poetic responses are vital!!

DEI killed the Radio Star

Every word. I’m here for it. Bless your sacred rage @elienyc.bsky.social Thank you. May there be ears that hear this

Hey @bsky.app just casually suggesting for your consideration that you use “skeet” and “reskeet” instead of “post” and “repost” for the culture. Reskeet if y’all agree.

This is why collapsed epistemologies and conspiracy thinking do harm. That mind is susceptible to other lazy ideas that are going to hurt people

@pervysagebundle.bsky.social as ever - always good to see you. Blessings sent from NYC to your corner

Nominated for Secretary of Department of Energy probably…

Just quivering in fear that Elon Trusk won’t lash out at them. And when users are down? This is the price of doing business?

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/...

Worthy piece on wondering what it could look like to not cede young men to a conservative media ecology. @ser1897.bsky.social makes a case that maybe we don’t need a mirror-world Rogan but an unapologetically political but not only political liberal space where men want to inhabit.

@derekberes.bsky.social maybe share this with Remski and Walker!

@kitsunerever.bsky.social 5w4

An absolute worthy and thoughtful 30 minutes tracking how one young man unknowingly found himself as at right winger and how he found his way out compassionately. youtu.be/OygHnodf0XM

@aestallings.bsky.social and Olives too!

@aestallings.bsky.social so thrilled to have your follow! Love Hapax and This Afterlife so much. Fingers crossed for more poetry and poetry criticism cropping up here.
