Looking back on Black Company: Glen Cooking

Honestly may unsubscribe from @massterlist.com after that horrendous piece by Jon Keller. That was a borderline sociopathic piece and everybody on that team should be ashamed of letting that published.

Given how much of a circle jerk pioneering automotive industrialists had with whiplash white supremacy in the 20th century: I don't think it's a far stretch to say "Car culture and motornormativity as a whole is a fascist project."

The use of bike supremacists is really galling because what we're really asking for is to not die at the hands of the car supremacists

Cyclists have their lives threatened daily. We are told our lives are worth less. And we're supposed to ask nicely to not be killed? Would Jon Keller tell parents of school shooting victims to "ask nicely" for gun control?

Cyclists are being killed and Jon Keller thinks that advocates (who he calls "bike supremacists") aren't being nice enough. Seriously, fuck this guy. I'm not linking to this absolute piece of trash essay.

Damnit, now I've got a table top campaign world map in my head. ....And it's just Shadowrun

“Obama was opposed to gay marriage, give it time, don’t seek perfection on trans issues from Dems.” Yeah, but gay marriage was a new right LGBT people were seeking. Sports, bathrooms, and IDs are something trans people have had for decades. Going BACKWARDS Is the opposite of the Obama comparison.

The wheel of drama never ends and furry has a lot of issues it needs to do better with but those issues are a human problem rather than a furry one. You'll find them in some form even if you stop being a furry.

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

The people that are going to be trapped in their 'death house' are exactly the same people who are fighting against housing reform. It's insane. And the results are now arriving in their various forms. open.substack.com/pub/lloydalt...

I think a lot how I’ve spent years planning for a future where I cannot drive, and all that planning is useless if 2 supermarkets close.

Currently dealing with this issue and it is NOT fun. A toxic mix of culture war and fears about declining autonomy. Good urbanism could help fewer people have to go through it.

If we invest in reducing car dependency we build stronger communities for *everyone*

The demographic reality is inescapable: We are going to have millions more older drivers with diminishing capabilities, in cars that are too big and too dangerous for everyone around them, with few satisfactory alternatives to driving. It will not end well.

This is a great read and underscores that fighting car dependency is a basic quality of life issue. Lloyd makes an important here: Older residents who often oppose initiatives to reduce car dependency will also soon bear the burden. But they never imagine a future where they can't drive.

The price to put poop in America’s food is only $1M in the GOP’s America.

I bet you have a playlist from 2001 that would be perfect right now.

Honestly, bad as Tesla is, Volkswagen AG is worse (if only because they've been around longer)

a second ex wife of the world's biggest piece of shit has described him being the world's biggest piece of shit

If apps could stop fucking changing my font settings so that I can actually read the displayed font that'd be great. IDGAF if you think 25% transparency or 10pt font is aesthetic, it's fucking illegible.

(Seriously - do you *really* believe Desgrange dreamed of a Tour with just one man standing at the finish, when he regularly pulled stunts like this? Really?)

At this point I'm about 99.9% sure that the fur cons closed for damage to hotels was right wingers literally smearing their shit everywhere for getting banned from the convention for trying to bring in their tacticool "cosplays" with "airsoft guns"

Ah of course. The people wanting to remove ABDL furries are just literally nazis.

Uh-oh Stash box empty

Having trouble thinking of an automaker that isn't tied to authoritarianism and genocide. The only one I can think of is that micro EV company that the Mexican government started backing last fall.

the debate is where else we should put these in right? right??

President Clinton 🤝Senator Biden 🤝Senator Thurmond The 1994 Crime Bill (AKA Jim Crow without the segregated bathrooms)

They don’t even have some sort of excuse that “it’s hard to notice the racism because their prose is so gripping and/or the other ideas are so strong.” If anything the racism and other related bigotry are the appeals. There’s nothing else there.

Matt Yglesias is simply a horrible person.

Happy 40th to my second favorite movie of all time! Saw it in the theater when I was 13. Absolutely mind-blowing, scared the bejeebus outta me and nightmares for weeks. "Get away from her you bitch!" is as iconic as "I'll be back" and "Welcome to Jurassic Park"

If I had one wish it would be to Thanos Snap the entirety of the US DOD & MIC

A bunch of white supremacist cowards at the Ottawa IL courthouse today.

This is why the current administration constantly lies and AI is bad (one reason anyway). 1984 in 2026.

Got another story coming out about the Ohio Dems/Amy Acton stuff today and it’s a doozy. Transphobia is a cancer in the Democratic Party of Ohio.

Reading this story is another good example of how simply copying and pasting copaganda can obscure the horror of traffic violence. I'm sure we'll get some independent reporting which will have more details.

Texas. Same state where that teen mowed down a group of cyclists on purpose. I don’t know if “crash” is the right word for intentionally backing over people on bikes either

This pro-AI grifter wrote two pieces for the Heritage Foundation claiming "COVID-19 is a bioweapon made by China" during the tail end of Trump 1.0

Anyone who’s known me knows that my day job involves PMing a big firm-wide AI initiative. This article grapples with two things that keep me up at night: what mentorship should look like and the importance of grunt work. It’s a great read. www.science.org/content/arti...

If you're a Democrat that thinks US global military hegemony and a local white supremacist and classist police state built around ethnic cleansing and slave labor are good things, you aren't a Democrat, you're a Republican that knows how to use Public Relations jargon.

I will not vote for any congressional democrat who does not pledge to make sure that presidents can never start military action against another country without congressional approval. No exceptions.

Drivers using their cars as weapons to injure and kill cyclists is actually quite common

"The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office said the driver, Charles Medina, 31, passed two bicyclists traveling along FM 159. After passing them, investigators said Medina stopped his vehicle, reversed, and struck one of the cyclists." This is absolutely horrific.

THUNDER! Lightning! Fat fucking sideways sheeting rain!

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

it's beyond fucked that anywhere could have this kind of panopticon. that they use it for the petty whims of a billionaire doesn't make it better.

if there are a million besson/fifth element haters, i am among them if there are ten besson/fifth element haters, with them if there is but one besson/fifth element hater, i am she if there are no besson/fifth element haters, then i am dead
