this can’t be the same brain i used to use to remember song lyrics with

Hey everyone! Check it out! My local bookseller has a page up where you can preorder signed copies of my new book of essays, which comes out on August 4! I will accept requests for inscriptions and doodles, within reason. schulerbooks.com/book/9798989...

I wrote about the way that killing people seems to just be another cost of doing business, and a modest proposal for a reversal in the ways our systems of commerce, government, and law operate that just might provide an effective deterrent. www.the-reframe.com/the-cost-of-...

Needed Dem platform: - relentlessly prosecute every one of these MAGA criminals - Supreme Court reform - universal healthcare - universal education - make voting easier - un-gerrymander everything - act like you won the Civil War - make sure this bullshit can't happen again

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Until we demand better our police will continue to shoot and kill our neighbors in the throes of a mental health crisis. The LMPD is only as good as we demand they be. As we demand the Mayor makes them be. Bang Bang, You’re Dead.

Happy Pride Month! Louisville wouldn't be Louisville without our LGBTQ+ neighbors and loved ones who make our city better in countless ways. During Pride Month and every month, we must continue to show up and fight for the equality and safety the LGBTQ+ community deserves.

After cancellations, the new list of featured performers for The Great American State Fair on the National Mall: - Kid Rock All-Star Band feat. Scott Baio and Ted Nugent - Scott Baio All-Star Band feat. Kid Rock and Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent All-Star Band feat. Nicki Minaj - The James Woods Dancers!

For those of you already missing Stephen Colbert, he's resurfaced on community public access in Monroe, Michigan, and no, I am not joking: youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4

If you’re in Louisville and missing your dog, he showed up shivering on my steps and is now warm and comfy and perfectly sweet.

It's so weird when features are worded as threats. It's not "now you can talk to Gmail!" No, it's "Gmail is going to start talking to you." I don't know if it's reflective of the technology or of The Verge specifically, but it's definitely something matriculating down from AI techbro attitudes.

Mixed DayQuil and NyQuil. I have no idea what time it is.

My next book, *The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI*, will be out in about a month. 1/

I need to know what “radically pro-transgender” means. If that’s like armed groups abducting kids and giving them unwanted surgeries, sure, go get ‘em boys! But if it means “doesn’t believe the government has the right to tell us how to dress or identify” then this administration are the terrorists.

The craziest thing of all? It wasn't even my monkey.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 988. That said, I've seen a few instances lately of stories that don't include that info OR it's at the end of the story. Please put that up top. Don't talk about suicide for 10 minutes without providing resources. Yes, it's that serious.

I am still flabbergasted by people wearing cowboy hats unironically. These men carry them around in little hard cases

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread: Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

Pre-heat oven? Who am I, Bobby Flay?

Tried taking a break from doomscrolling by reading Empire of the Vampire by @misterkristoff.bsky.social, but can’t seem to get my head out of the stupid evil we are living through:

NO MORE FUCKING TURNING THE PAGE.

feel like we're in year two of legal people posting judges opinions saying trump and his cronies fucked up and are shitting on the law and then nothing actually happens. has a single one of them even been held in contempt?

I'm really sick of liberals and centrists thinking that compromise is something you start with instead of something you end with

As always: Republicans are going to kill us all, and Democrats are going to get us all killed. Republicans want to murder trans human beings and erase them from existence but that doesn't mean the Democrats aren't terrible on this issue and will instead just let them wither and die without support.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

What is a movie that is so important to you that if someone tells you they haven't seen it, you stop everything you're doing and watch it with them?

I assume anyone crying has just been keeping up with current events.

This is a great thread of random encounters!

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

"Your pets may not necessarily love it when you kiss and hug them" Yeah well I may not necessarily love picking up poop so I guess we're all gonna have to make some sacrifices.

ok. does anyone know if it's twice per athlon or every two athlons

I'm seeing positivity for Jon Ossoff on the timeline so I just want to remind everyone that he is the only Democrat to break ranks and vote against a Biden federal judge appointment. He did it because the judge had moved a trans woman that was being raped in men's prison to a women's prison.

no disrespect, but I'm not subscribing to your Substack for reasons that should be obvious if you google words like "substack" and "nazis"

ICE is executing Americans and terrorizing our communities. And Trump is asking for a blank check to continue funding this campaign of terror. I voted NO, and every member of the Senate should too. Not another dollar for ICE.

American Gothic, 2026 Original on iPad “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been concealed by the answers”. James Baldwin

ICE has murdered another American in cold blood, and they've already started lying about it. Don't let them. This cannot continue. We have to stand up and stand together to demand an end to this campaign of terror. Stop funding ICE.

ICE out of our cities ICE out of our country ICE out of existence

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

ME: Can you come back later? THEM: Why, are you busy now? ME: No, it's just that I won't be here later.

nuremberg trials are the compromise position

I refuse to accept anything other than the resignation and immediate retirement of all of these fucking corporate candy-ass Democratic cowards. They’ve lost the right to do anything but get out of the way and live in disgrace for the rest of their days.

Funding this administration is treason
