Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

A piece in Frieze where I argue that the future of art is the black night of the dance floor rather than the white box of the gallery. @julianahuxtable.bsky.social makes an appearance: www.frieze.com/article/mcke...

The continual sight of the fiend shapes before me, capering half in smoke and half in fire

what most puzzled and confounded you was a long, limber, portentous, black mass of something

IS THERE ANY ORGANIZED BOYCOTT OF SPEAKING AT COLUMBIA? IS IT DEPT SPECIFIC? HOW ARE PEOPLE NAVIGATING ENGAGEMENTS WITH UNIVERSITIES RUN BY PSYCHOPATHS? I'M A BIT STUCK ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS SPEAKING OFFER FROM A CUTE DEPT?

Reminder that actual piracy is still always more ethical than datamining software as a service that masquerades as the ethical alternative to piracy. The second we chose streaming clouds over file storage it was all downhill.

best meme i ever made

Life’s rich tapestry

The solution to the transgender sports debate is to finally move forward as a society and get rid of all sports

Susan Sontag actually talks about this in Illness as Metaphor: the only way the US knows how to mobilize against social problems is “war.” War on cancer, war on poverty, war on drugs, now war on immigrants. The US lost the first three of those but here we are.
