Hold up. Is our foreign policy just viral marketing for a Gerard Butler sequel? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenla...

A headline to sum up our times:

Human artists, use only once piece to convince people to follow you!

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake.

more people are talking about HEATED RIVALRY on my feed, but the gay sports story I want to see is... Liberace used to brag that his first sexual experience was with a Green Bay Packer. I want *that* story. (it took place in Wausau, which is wild.)

"thank you. This should cover 1 year of our new American health insurance"

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

They radicalized Ken.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tells ICE to "get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

My grad school made a cowardly, expensive mistake in the face of right wing exploitation. I hope professor Michael is able to have a long, productive career free of this nonsense.

“I want a progressive movement that is aggressively pro raising wages at the bottom and aggressively pro immigration. These are completely coherent goals.” Great piece by @polphilpod.bsky.social www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...

Not sure how to summarize this one. Wrote about the podcaster-occupied government invading for content, how the algorithmic internet is governed by the logic of reaction videos, and how it has contributed to a very nihilistic illiterate politics and culture of performance for imagined audiences

No matter what kind of whitewashing propaganda is put out by corrupt institutions, there are still archives of photography, recordings, and accounts that counter the "official" falsehoods. You might find this link useful if you run into rewritten memories? apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

Oi! @sprobeforebros.bsky.social ! Explain your industry? Are you letting Jeff Vandermeer design coffee now?

Got a new computer so now I can play the same game I've been playing since 1998

I have not played any board games in 2026 and that's unacceptable.

Deep Space Nine and Hannibal are my gut instinct answers but I'm worried I've been Bryan Fuller-pilled It's a wild uneven ride but given all of its constraints, I also think Angel stuck the landing.

OK, here's a 🧵 of DEA corruption and shenanigans. Starting with this paragraph from the New York Times, in 1977: www.nytimes.com/1977/05/22/a...

“Seen the news? Crazy right. But it got me thinking about how I didn’t have a clear plan after I blew up our relationship.”

If you actually wanted to decrease immigration from Latin America, creating a power vacuum atop its most fragile state would be the last thing you'd want to do.

surprising number of people seem to be confused as to whether or not it’s still possible to oppose bombings and other military actions that are both unconstitutional and contrary to international law even when you really really don’t like the guy whose country they were just done to

here's a hard truth for 2026: the reason so few people can work in the creative fields full-time is because so many people are cheap bastards. they want free music, free TV, free books, free porn etc. the more people pay for them, the more jobs are available. surprise me: turn this trend around.

I try to say this prayer immediately after midnight on New Year’s to set my intention for the coming year. It’s from the Book of Common Prayer (1979).
