Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunter, and holy freakin' tiger, it rules! As a related note: can anyone out there point me to some great books on Korean mythology? Not looking for a bullet-point website, but in-print folklore, history, mythology, etc.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

AI is like DDT: it may even have specific use cases (e.g. killing mosquitos to fight malaria), but it's so toxic to everything it has to be banned.

"Running over real people with various trolleys is the whole point of real-world trolley problems, too, which is is precisely why we have to reject them in the real world." Also, trolleys were good public transport. No to trolley problems, yes to trolleys!

James Dobson and his media empire were some of the most toxic and destructive parts of my childhood. May he burn for a 1000 years in the hell he wished upon me!

I hope JK Rowling gets a paper cut every time she touches a book.

My neighbor told me she was trying out GPT-5 and I reacted like she had just told me she kicked my dog. Sarah's take on this is great: houseofmirrors.substack.com/p/the-spectr...

My grandmama is 95. She's been many things: wife of a baptist preacher, baker extraordinaire, neighborhood mom-to-all, Sunday School teacher, pianist. For the first time in forever, she said nothing about Jesus still loving me when we spoke. But she did tell me 'the president will keep us safe.'

New book day, so excited to get these in from @haymarketbooks.org!

Imagine being the richest man in the world and having a drug problem and instead of, idk, pouring money into researching the best synthetic weed or safest synthetic opiate, you instead build a Hitler-machine that poisons black people in Memphis. Too much money is more dangerous than drugs.

Google search ads personally attacking me -- centering James Blunt (c. 2004) but the using Tal Bachman (1999) as the soundtrack. Accurate as to how bad Google search is, but jfc google y u like this?

There is a genocide in Gaza. Speak truth to power, love your friends and family, build community, it's the only way we make it through.
