The most coveted free agent in American politics is "The Genocide Ogre."

I am begging people to look up the Telecommunications Act of 1996 before attempting to theorize about what killed music

Liberals on Bluesky soft-pedaling necropolitics and genocide as "cluelessness" or "incompetence": I have one message for you: go back to Twitter.

My 8yo asked if I would post something to Bluesky for her, then grabbed a piece of paper and made this So here is your advice for the day:

Nobody punished the US for the Vietnam War. The whole country's political system is drunk on impunity and that's what "absolute power corrupts absolutely" is all about. There has been nobody to punish the US for its crimes, so how can it learn and change?

and because the interruption in oil supply is for an indeterminate amount of time and could conceivably end any moment, none of the profits are being invested in new capacity but instead are being returned to shareholders as windfalls.

I don't agree with the idea that every piece must go through multiple drafts and am more a proponent of getting it right the first time, and making small changes. Editors who insist on rounds and rounds of revisions often in my view make the text worse.

Have you seen those viral maps of all-blue gerrymanders? Wishful thinking. slate.trib.al/TblZFxa

Just read this book by Nick Enrich I found it very hard to contain my outrage and sadness – every single page was distressing to read, and I can only imagine what the author and USAID colleagues went through, and the millions who were suddenly abandoned... www.simonandschuster.ca/books/Into-t...

Exactly. Fred Durst above Bob Dylan is unforgivable. Keep trollin trollin trollin, what?

Remember when the consultant who made them stop turned up on Bsky and was like "OK, moving on" and we chased him off immediately? Fun times.

Recently finished THE IDIOT by Dostoevsky, and a) very funny book, a lot better than Crime & Punishment, or Underground Man (🤮); and b) my main takeaway is that being weak and indecisive (and mistaking that for moral goodness) creates tragedies: taking a stand is harder but more ethical.

We are hurtling towards disaster and seemingly no one can stop this right now, our political leadership has refused to engage. It's going to get really ugly when enough people decide enough is enough.

Richard Dawkins: *Is this a woman?*

This is the history many people don't want you to know occurred even as it's happening again all around you.

People who are sick and enter an enclosed space unmasked in 2026? Special place in hell for you fucks.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

I would say "shame on Alan Dershowitz" but I don't think he has capacity for any.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Alan Dershowitz is such a gigantic piece of shit.

"SHRIKE" by Samir Sirk Morató is the perfect kind of crime story in that it's deeply weird and hard to look away from in a stomach-turning sort of way. You can read it for free here, and if you dig it, read more of Samir's work in GORE POETICS, available in our store: www.ergot.press/authors/Sami...

The Epstein Class has been living among us for a long time.

We can catch up, though, and rebuild USAID. This Wired interview is with the USAID whistleblower, who has a book that just released, Into the Wood Chipper, with the story, and this recommendation - that candidates commit to reconstructing USAID - in Slate. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It absolutely disgusts me that this genocide has not been front page news every day for the last year. Also, they very much *did* understand what they were doing: this is a white Afrikaner's genocide of Black Africans.

This is what I'd wear to the Met Gala.

May 8 sees the release of Failure by @imrryr.com, an experimental electronic artist from Queens. This is a particularly special collaboration as we discovered we had grown up in the same area, shared childhood experiences, & have many mutual friendships spanning decades.

Wegovy? Like, we the government? 🤡💩

Stop giving money to Amazon. Don't give any more money to Amazon.

I do miss talking about literature online and I will never forgive the lit community for staying on Twitter instead of coming here.

The Red Spectacles (Mamoru Oshii, 1987)

Get in, nerd. We're gonna go see the 4K restoration of The Red Spectacles.

Tonight I watched the 4k scan of Mamoru Oshii's The Red Spectacles. As best I can describe it's a neo noir surrealist film which, unsurprisingly because its Oshii, plays with what is, and what isn't 'real' or 'true'. It sure is a Mamoru Oshii film, I will give it that. Incredible visuals throughout.

It must be an insanely comfortable gig to work in a place that's been writing the same article for over a lifetime www.nytimes.com/1939/08/20/a...

Montreal’s Red Dress Day Memorial March on May 5 will honour victims and demand justice “We gather to honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people, and to demand justice and change.”

Target is done for good. For ever. Nobody should ever shop there again. Let it crash and burn.

Def reaching Baudrillard levels of simulated democracy here.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

Finally watched Jin-Roh: wow. It has that depressive energy which reminded me a little of Project Itoh's Genocidal Organ. tubitv.com/movies/34578...

This take is inarguably correct and people say truly, truly insane things in response.
