Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed.

Last night, I was driving home from the mountains at night and the black silhouettes of the trees looked like innumerable fangs puncturing the soft underbelly of the clouds that were tumbling down the mountainside in their slow-motion free fall from the heavens

Girl, I am losing my mind

I will continue to support San Andreas until the bitter end because I am loyal to a fault.

COLUMBO: So he wouldn’ta bought that shirt? TAILOR: Marigold yellow? For a bright winter? Absolutely not, sir. COLUMBO: Now that is interesting… TAILOR: Shall I find sir’s color season? COLUMBO: Ohh, no sir, that won’t be necessary. My wife tells me I’m a soft autumn and that’s good enough for me

Thinking about Charlie Kirk

With ICE increasing its presence in and around Boston, I thought I'd repost this helpful guide for reporting ICE sightings in an effective way. Remember: S.A.L.U.T.E. You can report sightings to LUCE Mass at 617-370-5023 (the holine operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. in multiple languages)

Their eyes locked. The air between them ionized. He shot her a sex-soaked smile, like he was thinking about doing the hottest, nastiest shit to her. And that’s when she knew: she really wasn’t going to pay a lot for this muffler.

By age 30, you should have a magic act, your own ministry, some prostitute friends, and an omnipotent, all-loving father who orchestrates your crucifixion

One of the reasons I think we need a much heavier emphasis on humanities and the literary canon in American K-12 education is so we can attempt to recover a common political vernacular that's based in, like, Biblical allegory and Enlightenment thought instead of incel memes.

What early bluesky was like

Knowing the difference between a purview, a bailiwick, a wheelhouse and a forte isn't my thing i'm good at.

Interesting post by MaRo over on tumblr and kinda tells us why we don't get blocks anymore. Like, it might be a classic "you don't know what you have until it's gone" bit, but saying "blocks were great!!!" When the data says otherwise is something to think about when we ask for that sort of thing.

It's why the boys' club hates women playing btw.

And Alexander wept, for deliverables were down for Q3 FY326-325 BCE despite earlier optimistic forecasting

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Has your vocabulary been irreparably damaged by the television series, "I Think You Should Leave"? From the lawyers that successfully sued "Homestar Runner" for damaging the voices of an entire generation, YOU may be qualified for a settlement.
