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.

Finally a worthwhile answer

Black Phone 2 is free on peacock and it’s still not worth the cost of admission. Tedious, terrible dialogue, bunch of nightmare on elm street ripoff done with less skill and it’s weirdly Christian. If you liked this movie your judgement is suspect

this type obscuring of colossal harm bc it 'looked nicer' bc someone they find more appealing was its face bc everyone floating above it due to a lucky station in life could tell themselves it was necessary, promise themselves *they and theirs* were safe from harm =why we're here headed for worse

youtu.be/hFmCyZ6epB8?... This is basically the end of act one of expedition 33. IYKYK

This is correct. ICE is there in the first place because of an evidence-free racist conspiracy theory promoted by a 23 Year old YouTube propagandist. They manufacture pretext.

Your body doesn’t have special distinct stress hormones for hiding in a tree and hoping the bear doesn’t look up, or huddling in a trench under artillery fire, or scrolling through bad news on the internet. All your brain knows is that it’s being dunked in cortisol for hours on end.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

I know a popular response to all this is to blame the hiring of all the j6 refuse. But I would argue what we’ve seen so far is actually normal for experienced cbp officers maybe with slightly less accountability. When the numbers really swell with the influx it’s going to be much much worse.

the only difference between a millennial New York Times journalist and an irony poisoned anime avatar twitter bluecheck who denies that he’s racist while he posts memes about Somali daycares is that the NYT journo is better at convincing you that he deserves to be part of polite society.

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

Everyone needs to watch this.

Obligatory gym selfie. Fuck ice

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

As a psychiatric professional I’m looking for some tools to manage the dysregulation associated with being at the mercy of a rogue state. Also, would like some tips for gratitude journaling or self care to help my patients navigate being priced out of health insurance.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

I don’t have a clever take today I just feel physically ill. I guess I thought i knew this was coming but my body is saying no you really didn’t.

Just learned from my publisher that whole heck of a lot of you bought a copy of The Wingspan of Severed Hands in December! Thank you for (presumably) spreading the yellow sign to your friends and loved ones for the holidays. This is how we conquer reality. weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/the-...

The runes say I will finally get a contract for my novel this year. Thank you, runes. 🦄

Together has just enough gross effects and funny body horror that it almost distracts you from how shallow the whole thing is. If we can get past the instagram level subtext as text in film writing sometime very soon that would be great

My dog is super cute and snuggly

The cruelest thing about expedition 33 is definitely the mimes.

In 2026 I will try to hold my words more gently… and maybe show more skin.

So I started expedition 33. I can already tell it’s going to make me crazy. But for being like a souls like-lite, the difficulty level is satisfying instead of hate inducing so far so 🤞

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

The holiday season this year is like a rare astronomical event where my usual seasonal depression, my acute awareness of how many of my relationships rely entirely on my efforts to sustain them, and the absolute vacuum of any meaningful feedback of my creative work have all aligned perfectly.

Bugonia was a blast. Exactly the light hearted entertainment i needed during this stressful holiday season

Onto the Endless. Norwegian brewmaster is my favorite character. From the jump you know he is silently judging everyone, watching their desperate flights from existential dread while he just sits with it.

I’m watching all the benson/Moorehead movies in order of release on this fine holiday. Spring is the only one I’ve only seen once before. It’s a pretty wild ride

I blocked my mother on my phone for nearly six months before she even noticed.

Happy holidays from the cusp of the void.

I am brimming with holiday spirit

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is: “Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Between this and labeling people as terrorists for the crime of saying trans people exist, I’m more terrified by the day of where we are headed, the speed at which we’re heading there, and the complete abdication of responsibility by the Democratic Party and news media.

Love the fact that every year now when my Word subscription renews I get to pay more money for the additional features that no one really wants and that i have to go through additional steps to disable but that still prompt me constantly when writing.

Ok so the season finale of Welcome to Derry. Certainly one of the most poorly written and executed episodes of television I’ve ever seen. Laugh out loud terrible at times. Wow. It’s impressive in a way.

I got stuck on the treadmill right by the giant monitor turned to fox today. Believe this, no matter how stupid you imagine Fox and Friends might be, whatever soundbites you’ve watched grossly underrepresented how vacuous and pandering it really is.

This morning, @dutchmarich.bsky.social surprise dropped HORROR IN THE HIGH DESERT 4: MAJESTY on Amazon and Apple TV. I was lucky enough to get an early peek. Here's my @dreadcentral.bsky.social review of another great piece of this found footage puzzle:

Always a cause of celebration when Marich gives us a new chapter of this brilliant series.

The latest iPhone update is terrible. Just jangling keys type stuff that’s cosmetic but annoyingly distracting and whose actual purpose is definitely to wear out the battery sooner so we all have to upgrade.

Me: “The management since the merger has really done its level best to destroy everything we love about hbo.” <netflix>: “hold my beer.”

Radical centrist sounds like an oxymoron except we’re living in an era where being a centrist means prioritizing the comfort the of middle/upper class over the lives of queer people and ethnic minorities and accepting that ecological apocalypse is a reasonable price to pay for billionaires to exist

Novellas, but Sabbath of the Fox-Devils by @sammytotep.bsky.social, Behind Every Tree, Beneath Every Rock by @emptywrites.bsky.social, and Voidheads by @chris88.bsky.social. A novel that reads in many ways like possession horror is @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social 's brilliant evils of AI novel For Emma

💯 this.

Donald Pleasance appeared in like 200 movies in his career. Sure, not all of them are amazing but it’s a tremendous cache to have access to as you while away the time hoping for rescue.
