Incredible

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks played a four-hour DJ set, spinning indie, shoegaze, dream pop records including Chromatics, Sky Ferreira, St. Vincent, Broken Bells, Beach House, Warpaint, Cocteau Twins, Mitski, Lana Del Rey, Spiritualized, and more.

Human society did not necessarily reach it’s peak during this time, but it’s ability to identify and solve problems almost certainly did

the Artemis II crew just posted a new photo. what the fuck

People who read Malcolm Gladwell are at or above the 90th percentile of readers in a typical office. This is why the economy is not doing well.

I was masking a house out of a photo for an edit and accidentally made an ontologically evil image

Yeah I think the Maduro kidnapping going off with like zero American deaths is in fact a world historical disaster because it told these guys they're not gonna Black Hawk Down, and I'm just an idoit, but I'm 90% sure that's why we're in this quagmire of a war right now.

It can’t all be bad news

I think these are probably connected, honestly, when you have the ability to carry out these kinds of operations with as little operational risk or political willpower as we do, it becomes easier to convince yourself it's a good idea.

Reportedly from someone close to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament: If Iran does not receive a credible signal by tomorrow of Trump reconsidering an attack on Iran's infrastructure,

not a single Democrat has mentioned the fact that the Trump administration is committing serial felonies by stealing the power of the purse from the legislature

People are resistant to this answer for the same reason alcoholics are resistant to hearing about the stats about how many people are killed by drunk drivers

“Does someone have a more chill way to describe 762,000 African deaths?” “Let’s go with messy.”

An aspect of the ‘Lunar Colonialism’ discourse that rubs me the wrong way is the implicit assumption that anyone who so much as touches a tool is basically one degree removed from being a slave.

The US has, within a single year, possibly murdered more people than the greatest atrocities of the past 5 years combined.

I was taken aback by how blinkered and hectoring this piece is. Really glad that when America’s allies are understandably perturbed by economic bullying, abuse of their citizens by ICE, military adventurism and *threats to annex them*, this guy has come along to tell them to shut up and play ball.

yes i am a radical progressive/socialist. yes i believe in spending every waking hour of my days plugged into nonstop digital warfare from the very corporations financing and promoting global fascism. i exist

Why do bad things (my F-150 teleporting into a local business, killing three people) happen to good people (me, the protagonist of reality)

Yelling “you cannot know, nor can I, the appalling strangeness of God” as I put my arms out and start to walk down the yellow line.

Aligning my blood alcohol content with angel numbers as my RAM Bighorn obliterates a playground to kick off Truck Month.

god teleported my F-150 into the entrance of this nail salon. truly mysterious

Data infrastructure is the fire consuming the books in this metaphor

Comparable examples in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria PLO didn't get statehood Gemayel family didn't get sovereignty Syrian reformists didn't get any real support from EU+US Hamas+rejectionists kept Palestine on the global agenda Hezbollah pushed Israel out in 2000 HTS won the war

Throughline is that in the face of a genuinely irrational superpower and an even more irrational set of satraps the only real option is to fight until they start being rational

Imagining a Chinese astronaut doing a land acknowledgement for WASPs from Ohio.

Inverse of this for me is gatling gun, which has a feeling that gatling is a type of action instead of a guy

I don’t get streamers, if I wanted to listen to an idiot with a Wikipedia level knowledge of the world ramble on nonstop I have my internal monologue

Just Like Heaven Festival would kill for access to this demographic bsky.app/profile/deli...

Argument on the right is whether or not its Canada or Iran that needs invasion

I am on blocklists of AI boosters and AI haters lmao

tbh the most neurotic users have all blocked anyone who said something good about AI or didn't add an image description, so if anything the user experience is much better on bsky at this point

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

It’s collapsing because text based social media is dying, which is under the umbrella of all social media is generally stagnant and peaked and you just have established network effects on the old ones

The problem with Bluesky cannot possibly be that people are too mean I swear y’all real life forgot what twitter was like just deleted it from your brains.

BlueSky is collapsing because everyone is too mean would have a lot more purchase if we weren’t all from Twitter, which was way meaner lol

”Our headline writer thinks the ‘A’ in NATO stands for ‘America.’ Some experts are skeptical.”

I have developed a new application, autonomously updated every morning, that serves up 214 monthly Canadian economic indicators. Please give it a try and see if you like it. philipsmith.ca/macroindicat... #cdnecon

my most george grant adjacent opinion is the Canadian elite class would gladly integrate us into a subordinate American position and sell out our cultural heritage as Canadians

The answer is that what they are trying to do is extremely hard, borderline impossible without ground troops. So the failure is not the inability to blow up every last missile, drone and launcher in Iran. The failure was political leaders thinking it would be easy to do so.

I have never seen a parody of American chickenhawk mentality that went as far as this. An entire political class screaming and shitting themselves because the ‘allies' they threatened to invade won’t take on 100% of the effort of a war they started for no reason.

Like we could simply have a democratic majority to ignore them. Taking a relative handful of people this seriously is a choice we have made and can un-make

This is so, so well-articulated.

Is the idea that they’re gonna take out Iran and set up their own toll?

A more recent-ish one, but an all time banger

We literally threatened to invade a NATO ally THIS YEAR. TWO MONTHS AGO.
