A message from Greenland…

Roses are red, trees are lumber

Red or Blue, now is the time to email your senator. Tomorrow morning is the time to call their offices. I don't care if your senator is already on side (give them your courage) or if your senator is wholly useless (give them some of your fear). Make sure they hear from you.

The pet influencers are pissed.

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die: In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy. Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't. Rinse, repeat.

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life. They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

I thought I'd bought all my Unbound warehouse stock, but then I found out that OOINYA/Omni have a load more and are selling them as new via Amazon. I made them an offer to buy the whole lot and they refused. So all I can do is ask people to buy the new Swift Press versions of my books instead.

OOINYA could have sold the remaining Unbound copies of the books to me, in bulk, & no longer have had to pay for warehouse space. Instead, they have decided to sell them via Amazon, as new, interfering with my attempt to restart my career. Please do not buy these. Buy the new Swift press versions.

Today, Minnesota is shutting down in solidarity. It could be a model for what the nation as a whole does in coming months, to repudiate the Trump dictatorship. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/minnesotas-general-strike-and-americas

DHS this is your communications director speaking. I am advising you today to please keep posting about how everyone hates you.

We’re just innocent men

Musk is fixated on robot companions because humans fucking hate him.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42 and post the second sentence. "This of course entailed the abolition of the present order, which had so perverted them, and the established churches."

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

Sounds like a you problem, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella

Punctuation is important.

cool name why’s it called that

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

"l no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Promoting your book on Instagram: nobody reads books any more because they're too addicted to Instagram. Promoting your book on Substack: people are too busy writing their own books or being Nazis. Promoting your book on Facebook: are you fucking kidding me? Promoting your book on Bluesky: ❤️

Breaking News!

This is probably the most accurate description. Someone in their mid-50s today told me that this is the first time he had thought about or been affected by politics. And that guy is actively guarding buildings and his coworkers from ICE.

Imagine your house falls down one day and it's because a load of parakeets have been systematically eating your mortar

Oh the sex pest rapist has defected now? Should fit in well

@dankaszeta.bsky.social Tear gas question for you!

Fantastic photo from Phil Laybourne capturing the moment a Red Deer steps on some Lego.

Robert Jenrick is unique in British politics for being the only MP who is an anagram of his constituency

I feel I should bang the drum for this post, which hasn't received the love it deserves. It helps to know that Jenrick's constituency is Newark.

The deepest of deep cuts here!!

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Brexit is now not just an awful, poorly thought out endeavour. It's now a threat to national security. The USA & Russia are belligerent nations, actively working against and with scornful disregard of European national sovereignty. United we can stand against them. Divided we are sitting ducks.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Just had the “try our updated app” email from Trainline. If it wasn’t so depressing it’d be hilarious. What’s the ONE thing you want with travel information…?

yeah I don't have access to the full article I just wanted to share the headline and subhead

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

This guy was a mensch. What a life.
