i like this photo where it looks like you've interrupted t.s. eliot and virginia woolf in the middle of planning your murder

making library holds no man could live up to

listening to The National and crying counts as writing

If we imagine no worse of them than they of themselves, they may pass for excellent men.

The obvious takeaway from this is that evangelicals are amazing, but I'd also like to note that at least in this shot of the statue his hair looks like Trump is wearing a baseball hat bumped to the side in the classic Fernando Rodney style.

ICYMI — After Republicans stripped majority-Black Memphis of representation, this was @brotherjones.bsky.social in the rotunda. Damn. (From NC5)

it took me too long to realize that this was "horseshit" censored and not new slang i didn't know about yet where "horses" meant bad

Couldn’t recommend this more. S2 especially

This is the most anti-AI teaser for an upcoming animated film you'll ever see. Laika is shoving it in our faces that this is HANDCRAFTED stop-motion - and I'm here for it.

me when i get shot

PRK is very good at books. Just finished this one.

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

Me: I voted for Donald Trump because I had him confused with that other guy. Donald Duck. NYT reporter: Are you sure you want me to print that next to your real name and a drawing of you? Me: Yes.

I used to be good at Computer. Now Computer thinks it is good at me. But it actually isn’t??????

This is the most bizarre take I’ve seen in the Lerner discourse. Of course it occurred to the character. The book is partly about why he doesn’t make practical decisions. This has ALWAYS been a major source of conflict in the history of literature (and film and tv). “Why didn’t they just…?” Exactly.

If a statement begins with, “I’ve never even heard of ___________, but…” you already know the amount of consideration the option deserves. If your statement begins with this phrasing, you have no obligation to finish it. It’s okay. You can just stop right there. Really.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Every one of the fake-ass journalists in that room are going to be so annoying about this for a long time. Truly.

its not just a winning message. it wont just feel good. its necessary! this cant ever happen again. its step one in a whole bunch of needed reforms: removing scotus judges, legislating away citizens united etc, strengthening labor, seizing assets of oligarchs and deporting them, etc. has to be done

I’ve got some bad news.

From the archive for Margaret Kennedy, #BornOnThisDay in 1896, thoughts on THE FEAST, a wonderfully escapist treat. Part mortality tale, part mystery, part social comedy, this immersive novel is brilliantly constructed. An ideal holiday read! #BookSky 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2021/11/07/t...

I think the gerrymandering race to the bottom is genuinely bad and undemocratic and unfortunately what the dems are doing is the least bad of the bad options available.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Currently researching movers in my area and there's one who is employing, as their main image, this AI generated photo of people flinging furniture into a big pile on an open trailer. Also they are called Plunder Runners

These look really cool.

god forbid a girl has hobbies

It’s unfortunate that flock of seagulls had those goofy haircuts cause it’s what they’re sorta remembered for when they should be remembered as a band that fucking rips.

Salute to an all-time tweet

the idea that we should always pursue peak "efficiency" and "optimization" has been a poison

The smarmy use of word “inconvenience” should offend you. I felt the same when I recently saw the term “paper books” used in a similarly amused way.

AI ruins so much. Wait until you learn about “vegetative electron microscopy.”

Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty
