feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

@mjmimages.bsky.social which designer needs this for their next collection?

A work of art.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

There's a DeLorean out at Memory Lane Motors on SE Holgate...

I find the final paragraph compelling as a way of understanding a lot of conflicts on here where people are talking past each other. "'...ideology offered a -grammar‐ of resistance but did not necessarily provide the ‐logic‐ of resistance for the broader populace,' he writes."

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

I think this Tidal-generated playlist is trying to harm me.

Spent the whole afternoon at Lloyd Center, AMA. (Have you tried LoZell's chicken yet?!)

It's gotta be "Hysteria" by Def Leppard.

Thinking of drinking Starbucks in Italy just makes me snort contempuously every time this ad comes on. But I just looked and they actually have them there! Wild!

Have woken up with this playing in my head most days over the past two weeks. Enjoy!

"If A Tribe Called Quest had a song called King Missile" hit me square in my high school feelings...

Heard this yesterday on a mix by a DJ I like (www.mixcloud.com/slyida/caris...). I thought it was a sludge metal version of “Call Me” by Blondie at first, but it turned out to be the Chipmunks’ version (from 1980 gold record Chipmunk Punk) slowed down till the voices are natural. 😂 It's incredible.

This is the best thing I've ever seen.

TIL!

Third panel is me every time I open Bluesky in the middle of the workday...

Several months back, I wrote about ADHD and menopause, and among the people who contacted me was @aliciajrose.bsky.social. She told me two alarming things: one, that my brain was eating itself, and two, that women have been lied to about HRT for two decades. She’s making a movie/a movement about it

Spread the word! Invite your friends & coworkers! In person trainings in Portland, Oregon!

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Not usually out and about on a weekday afternoon, but glad I am today because Mt. Hood looks amazing rn.

Post a banger that's not in English. (Just thought of another fave...)

Post a banger that's not in English. (I couldn't decide...)

Post a banger that's not in English.

I enjoyed the Super Bowl halftime show but it would be nice if next year the halftime show was a plain black screen for fifteen minutes, giving football fans a quiet moment to contemplate their own mortality

For an abrupt change of topic in posting, can we talk about the micing and sound design at the Olympics? I don't like how the competitors don't have any privacy when they're talking to each other/coaches!

LRT I just keep thinking about how a car is often a person's highest value possession, just abandoned in the street. About the kidnapped person possibly having a car payment due while they get interned in MSP or trafficked to TX. Not the worst thing happening to them obviously! But can you imagine?

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

I'm looking for a librarian "alignment chart" meme I saw on twitter a number of years ago. It had a grid of qualification purist/neutral/radical etc. I bet someone here can direct me to it and/or let me know who made it #skybrarians 📚

That wasn't all that fun, but the Seahawks are the only sports team I personally care about, so... okay! 💙💚

I was in the kitchen and missed the only exciting play lol! I ran back in and didn't even hear the name right

Serena Williams for GLP1s??? Over Sleigh Bells??? Advertisers have their own ring in my Inferno.

Lotta folk saying FAMU should fight back & resist or whatever but FAMU & other HBCUs above all else need to Remain Open. That is their job right now. To remain open. Harvard should fight. Yale should fight. Ivy League schools with war chests rivaling small countries should fight. They fell first.

Seems like Peacock may not be up to the combined weight of the Olympics and the SB...

Had a comically bad day that involved a non-injury trip to urgent care earlier, so I'm eating mint chocolate chip ice cream and watching whatever Peacock shows me on the main Olympics broadcast, and I'm writing and then deleting a lot of posts. Will try to keep a lid on the livetweeting/monologue.

I think these Swedish women's hockey uniforms go pretty hard. Like when the Baltimore Ravens are in their all-black alternates.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Did you try it in another browser?"

If the material foundation of “AI” is extraction—from minerals for hardware to the data of users—then the political constellation into which you dream it will still be dictated by that bounding condition.

Parental surveillance ad directly into Mr. Beast ad and shortly into an ad that lets me know they made a TV show out of the movie "Ted" for some reason. Modern life in the USA is cursed.

The Crespo-Gonzalez family is home. Our community refused to stay silent in the face of such an immoral, unethical detention. Now, we must continue speaking up for the countless other families and children imprisoned by Trump. Stay loud.

(it is true that the most recent decision involves disagreement about the meaning of a statute but Ilan is making a different and bad point based on the premise that extended detention without bond is somehow just not a liberty problem in removal cases)

It’s both. If there’s a statute with procedural requirements that you’re not following and the result is that someone is being deprived of their liberty, that is a deprivation of liberty without due process of law.

I am escorting the Crespo-Gonzalez family, including their seven year old daughter, back to Oregon now. Out of respect for the family, additional information is not being shared at this time.

So depressing to watch an academic institution (not where I work) destroy their library with almost obsessive focus. The current administration would be equally effective in its destruction — but more efficient! — if it just lit the collection on fire.

Let out an earthshaking oooof for this first post in the thread.

Alarming new details about ICE facial recognition: -DHS secretly rolled back its rules on the tech (which forbid current uses) -No gallery of potential matches or confidence threshold ratings (standard practices for the tech) -Agents told to prioritize it over fingerprint (which is more reliable)

I have FOIAd the CIA World Factbook and the reasons for its removal
