Some people are taking this like esoteric “never sell out only be true to your most authentic self” and it’s not that, I’m saying this approach still doesn’t work for most people unless you already have some semblance of an audience and identity, with the added effect of making you miserable

Over 300 detainees at Delaney Hall signed an S.O.S. letter about the horrid conditions they are facing: rotten food, lack of medical attention, and so much more. Yesterday we went to inspect Delaney and that letter is correct. The solution is closing Delaney and abolishing ICE.

Hell yeah. Don't let bosses convince you that you don't deserve more. Don't let someone who hoards $100 million tell you that working people don't deserve $100,000. Instead organize and get yours.

If your reaction is “even I don’t make that much!” 1. Raising the floor will benefit everyone else, including you. Say “thank you, housekeepers union.” 2. Remember that the housekeeper getting paid is not the reason you’re not getting paid. 3. As you said, organize and get yours.

It really sucks that young Black folks are being asked to make huge sacrifices to fix what old white men broke.

god damn i hate tech. i want less automatic stuff. make me click a button, i can handle it.

why the fuck are photos from my phone showing up on my ipad? i think i would remember going into the ipad and asking for it to download all of my shit from my phone?

I was honored to read the graduates' names at CMU's School of Art ceremony this year. I mispronounced a few, which is bad, but not as bad as outsourcing it to an uncanny AI voice that randomly skips students. www.azfamily.com/2026/05/19/a...

So they are really going to lean into this, huh. nypost.com/2026/05/18/s...

Eviscerating Congress's scheme, sharpened through decades of precedent, and replacing it with Court's own facile, glib dogmas and armchair empiricism is profoundly antidemocratic, whether one agrees with the VRA amendments and Thornburg v. Gingles (RIP) or not. (7/7)

The other part of the “how do I get people to see my art” is make friends with people and talk to them and be each other’s cheerleaders and share each other’s stuff. I think @bombsfall.bsky.social put it best with “make art, make money, help other people do the same”

He's going to double down on right wing politics in the immediate future (maybe even today). In 2018 he was working incredibly hard on increasing production and he was globally laughed at for his submarine idea - that was when his personality started shifting. This is how he deals with humiliation.

Bluesky is such a weird bubble. People here are not eager to sacrifice their children to ba'al - something extremely popular in the group chat, on X the everything app, and in Ohio diners

be embarrassed you did that. don't go around publicly admitting it. keep it secret like the weird porn you look at. nobody needs to know.

the number of people who just freely admit that they used an llm to write a book or a math project and then email it to me like I want to see it is shocking. llm vomit is easy to make---it has zero value. you wasted your time and you cannot waste mine by forcing me to look at it.

people need to start being more embarrassed. this is a pathetic thing to admit. feel the shame of this and keep it to yourself Jesus Christ.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Hey, look. It's none of my business. Folks want to talk to a filthy lizard, it's their problem, not mine. Got out of here. And good riddance.

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

The Trump administration has targeted NPR, PBS, and their affiliates. The Onion shares tips for supporting public media.

On my drive home yesterday I passed a yard that has always had Trump flags and signs and so forth and last night they were all gone and in their place was a single white banner with small black text that read "Don't like Trump? Pray for him! God will change one of you". So things are going well.

soooo much of the art you love exists because someone somewhere convinced one of the most abhorrent rich people on the planet to invest money into something that ideologically denies their worldview. that's the lot of commercial art!

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

If I were the opposition party I'd be saying anyone involved in creating this corrupt scheme will be prosecuted but also anyone accepting payments from it will at minimum be required to pay back the full sum with interest

I remember back when people would tell @utopia-defer.red that he was being a doomer for saying this administration was consolidating power but tell me, if building a slush fund to pay your corrupt allies and brownshirt paramilitaries isn't consolidating power, what is?

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

Kamala Harris teams up with suboptimal, Anglophobic ex and disgraced stripper, John Fetterman, in a new podcast which promises to be as shitty as you're imagining it to be.

the thing about this is that it’s still shocking, because they don’t believe it, either. the whole thing is a troll, it’s intended to make the rubes do seal claps and make the rest of us bay like hounds at them, and we’re all paying them for the pleasure.

god, i hope my car can get picked up from the dealer tomorrow.

All these groups turned out for Kamala in larger percentages than white women except Latino men & it was only by 2% and even then you must consider the number of white identifying Latino men to contextualize that 2%. This is silly anyway but the problem is white people. You should worry about that.

I'm gonna be honest if you see a character design with any amount of femininity and instantly go "oh that's gooner bait", I really think you might just be a misogynist.
