I can’t get over how repeatedly the NYT will see the equivalent of someone holding gold in one hand, dog shit in the other, and come to the conclusion what we really value is up for debate.

he was redditing like this about Vietnam War era engagements so I think it’s more that he gets off on violent small unit tactics rather than having a particular affinity for Hamas over Israel

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

Amazing things happening over on Threads.

Making events into public memory is a cultural technology you have to do on purpose and repeat over and over. The fight to keep hold of the truth never ends it's generational and idk, maybe we're bound to lose in the end. But I have to believe we can do better than we did in the last six years.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

With alt text because it's too good not to share with everyone

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

stiff competition but I found it, the worst policy proposal

Protest regular Guy Young has kept the photos safe. He tells @domguan.bsky.social that on Wednesday, he witnessed a man with a “SUPPORT ICE” flag remove them and throw them on the ground. Young then picked them up and took them with him. He brought them back in a bag today.

Caroline was The Washington Post’s Amazon reporter when the paper laid her off (along with hundreds of others) in February. Now she’s a senior tech reporter at @sfstandard.com, with a scoop right out of the gate on a discrimination lawsuit against… you guessed it, Amazon! Follow her work.

I checked in on Twitter for what people are saying re the Iran situation, and basically whenever anyone says "this has gone terribly for America" they're flooded by replies being like "er excuse me we killed many Iranians while they killed few Americans, that's called winning" so yeah OP vindicated.

There's a certain type of guy who always describes situations in terms of how he controls his wife's or girlfriend's actions and it's very telling about that guy-type that he's just filtering the world through "how do I control my partner".

Happening now: an anti-war protest is gathering in Chicago's Federal Plaza over US/Israeli attacks on Iran & Lebanon. Iranian & US officials announced a 2 week ceasefire yesterday. That's now in question after Israel extensively bombed Lebanon earlier today, reportedly killing over 250 people.
