this essay in fantastic, a rich accounting of american imperialism, the disgust it inspires, and what radical action could possibly mean: lareviewofbooks.org/article/dang...

It’s probably not a great idea to buy your old favorite bar if you’re sober, but it’s tempting.

When my kids got their HPV vaccines last week I hyped it up like crazy. Sure it hurts (it's a pretty painful one compared to covid or flu) but it PREVENTS CANCER.

I guess it makes a certain kind of sense that "guy who didn't know he'd be betrayed by the most famous and prolific betrayer in the world" would also be the guy who's like "i, chotiner's 582nd interview subject, will come out of this looking good"

If you over-regulate capitalism you get totalitarian communism. If you under-regulate capitalism you get a ruling caste of insane monopolists. Please ignore the fact that one of these things has never happened and the other keeps happening over and over

On higher difficulty in Thief:TDP level the Haunted Cathedral, the ghost brother says, "I have some other things for thee to do as well" which is also my headcanon name for a game objective where you have to go collect a bunch of random crap.

Any time a Spanish speaking government does right by its poorest the New York Times summons the ghost of United Fruit

As I said, the link between Everyone Is 12 Theory and Everything Is Gender Theory is that it is traditionally Mom's job to make sure that Bedtime is enforced

We watched this last night with our kids & my mom - very highly recommended.

Also, wow, check out the gender reductiveness of this cover. “People who disagree with us are unserious tween girls”. The argument of a loser on the losing side. Wish I had a subscription so I could cancel it!

vicarious 😬 when your friend's nemesis is in the news again all of a sudden.

I mean, I know the God of War franchise has its fans. I am not one of them! and "now you can play as Kratos' dead wife" is not bringing me into the fold.

Elliot Rodger was 2014 ffs. Sometimes the ‘not noticing’ feels almost deliberate

it's genuinely embarrassing that there is ONE candidate for CA governor who is willing to do this. it's the bare minimum. and everyone is a coward now

Let’s just try it anyway?

banning private schooling must be part of the new reconstruction everyone should go to fully funded public schools

Can anyone recommend a good book about Tito and the non-aligned movement?

Very proud of my 8th grader for finishing her state standardized test essay like this

I wound down my Orwell obsession before I returned to Animal Farm but I might have to read it now just to purge this idea from my mind.

I love that the header image implies that Weiner is not a candidate to consider (he's not)

After a length of development that - if I truly, deeply thought about it, I would instantly go insane as if I'd opened some Lovecraftian skin-bound tome - our narrative city-builder Generation Exile has launched out of Early Access into full 1.0 today! store.steampowered.com/app/2963240/...

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

10 minutes on bsky was having me think everything's really going to shit, so this poem was really reassuring. www.tumblr.com/the-domestic...

I’m at ICE HQ

The pictured band is called Bad Cop, Bad Cop which is such a good punk band name that I'm surprised it took til the 2020s to produce it.

C’mon, we had programmable vibrators two decades ago

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

And I just couldn’t believe they put it right in the deck, “we’ve got all the artists and engineers and indies kettled in one place, on a plate, so you can feast on their hopes and dreams.” Because the conference needs to stay relevant—valuable—and it’s the publishers who have money for passes

What the war profiteer who hates women and liberal arts majors obviously really hates is emasculating, withering contempt, so keep it coming. It’s astonishing that these absolute infants of strategy keep telling us their weaknesses.

Skagen gets a lot of attention for its exceptional light but you don’t hear nearly enough about its skeletons dragging people out to sea.

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

On my dawn walk this morning I saw a big kitty so I pspsps and it turned around and was a racoon and so crossed the street to avoid me.

The ADL was bad since the 80s/90s. They helped apartheid South Africa. Anyone selling you a story of an organization gone rogue is telling a fantasy.

Something @sgoodyear.bsky.social points out that I'm reminded of each time people post about the war, gas prices and the need to switch to EVs is that the V in EV stands for "vehicle," not "car." E-bikes are EVs and cities need to create the conditions that will allow more people to adopt them.

The church got a new pastor who told us about how the antediluvian world was surrounded by a sphere of ice creating the perfect climate and I (9) was like, that does not make any sense.

You don’t have to hang out at Yerba Buena. Here’s another park, if not to avoid the tacky private cabana vibe then just to have a slightly more chill conversation. maps.app.goo.gl/hDZCqvSbaF5j...

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out. I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

Don’t know how this isn’t a bigger story. The Mayor of San Francisco Daniel Lurie lets his attack dog loose on the homeless population to instigate a fight, and stands by hands in pockets as a fight breaks out. Now the man acting in self defense from an unmarked attacker is in jail.

Bike ride home on a warm night through clouds of night-blooming tree perfume…AND a cheap cash-only taco truck run by a pink-haired abuelita?

Join my new predictive market platform Douchero to place a wager on which one of these guys gets caught with CSAM first.

My dear friend Zoe has set up her therapy practice to support queer folks coming out (including supporting families who are trying but clueless). If you know a US teen or family she might be helpful to, pass it on! www.rainbowconnectionscounseling.com

I ate these and didn’t die!

MTA killed 365 units of affordable housing citing funding constraints. Prop I tax revenue could have been used to fund these homes but Lurie refuses to spend that $ on housing. And now he & the YIMBY supervisors are trying to abolish the tax to enrich billionaires instead of building social housing.
