Oh, I also got to interview Andrew Scott about “Pressure.” I hope it was the nerdiest interview he had to do. 🧪

Susan Sontag: fascism celebrates “a society where the exhibition of physical skill and courage and the victory of the stronger man over the weaker are… the unifying symbols of the communal culture.”

i've said this before - but this current war on trans and LGBTQ+ people in general is a stealth war on the youth (who are more openly queer/trans) in my opinion

someone needs to cast betty gilpin and rebecca ferguson as sisters in something

i always hate it when someone leaves the capitalism out on the counter overnight and it spoils and then you wake up and the capitalism is bad

Feminism made positive virtues available to all, so the only distinguishing feature of maleness are the vices we've historically been allowed to get away with.

taking the pitch at face value for a moment: I’m reading this great piece and thinking about the alternative where a guy with a camera attached to his head shows men how to clean a house properly, themselves, and how unlikely that is to catch on abiawomosu.substack.com/p/they-built...

That doesn't mean MEN can't be good, but one thing we can do to get there is to stop looking for one codifying norm of "masculinity" to stick to, because basically every code was written to uphold male supremacy. Just... be a person. And treat others as people. Problem solved.

i think the elephant in the room here is also that having a servant that does whatever you want without complaining, constantly boosts your ego, and which you imagine loves you because it has no will of its own…..is a very male fantasy

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

Congrats to Freedom250 for finally booking a new act.

The FDA is requesting comment on their proposed drug repurposing program, yet it ignores CURE ID, an existing program that does exactly that. If you’d like you can leave a comment suggesting they fully fund CURE ID at the link in the document below.

I accept that it may take decades just to get back to that 2020 status quo. But it is set firm in my mind as a low bar - if you're against returning trans people to the rights and acceptance we enjoyed 6 years ago, you're clearly an enemy of trans people who simply want to live our lives in peace.

Don't suppose there are any Virginia civil engineers with stormwater permitting expertise following me on here but if there are, I would love to talk to you for a story! DMs open.

if one removed people who obsessively talk about teenagers' genitalia in public, a huge swathe of the conservative movement would simply vanish

I was so annoyed during a congressional hearing the other day when a Republican witness was like oh if you don't like the Court's interpretation of the Voting Rights Act, you can amend it Motherfucker we did! And the Constitution! And yet!

I don’t want to scare anyone, but basically every time I talk to a current or former government lawyer they tell me we are going to need a new Constitution. Because this one is inoperative.

maybe a long shot but does anyone know of a dc-area podcast/audio recording studio where we might be able to record an episode of cancel me daddy in person?

I don't think the metrics we use for inflation are well designed to capture stuff like how many regular things people use and are kind of required by society to consume which run on rentier models now for instance.

This is nicely put. The machine that subordinates all life to its own algorithm of self-expansion is already operating: It’s called capital. www.newyorker.com/science/anna...

Just 15 years ago Aaron Swartz died as a result of MIT's overzealous regard for the sanctity of their libraries. He'd be turning 40 this year.

Weird how few articles begin "imagine being a young 18yo female voter."

From M. Gessen-”This is How to Beat an Autocrat” Hungary’s Anti-corruption campaign is how Viktor Orban was toppled. It is how MAGA can be quelled here as well. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/o... 🎁 Please pass on share links in your emails & Social posts

The more trans people you have in your life the more likely you are to look at your own body & think "this is mine." I think that's why trans people scare some people. They teach us that our bodies are there for us as individuals. Not god. Not society. No other people but the person in the body.

eat it, Bezos

it is wild that this was 7 months ago.

mainstream democrats have evolved some sort of gland in their brains that makes them fundamentally incapable of acknowledging the fact that the youth are depressed as shit and don't really have a lot of hope for the future left

It's so depressing that this gleeful evil is so popular and widespread.

Gotta say, old Knickerbocker society definitely had his number & the snub was earned.

It's weird to read headlines for like eight months about how the Everglades concentration camp is "winding down operations" and "set to close soon," and then everyday there is a shuttle flight between the camp and ICE's main prison hub.

I have become an old man yelling at clouds and what I am yelling is frequently “INFRASTRUCTURE!!!”

Kittens are everywhere and we can’t help them without foster homes to get them safe and socialized and ready for adoption. If you’re in the Newark, DE/Northeastern MD area and you want to be a loving temporary stop for some kittens (or adult cats!) who need a little TLC, DM us!

The interracial cuck porn theory of everything is verified yet again by Ken Paxton

It’s May 2026. France finally repealed the Code Noir - the laws that codified slavery. It stopped being in effect in 1848 but had never been officially removed… Now, pay back Haiti.

idk why everyone is complaining, i think it's cool that they are building the ship from CONTACT (1997) on the white house lawn. the liberal media says it won't work again but they are IGNORING that approximately 18 hours of static was recorded on that fateful day. explain THAT

Hey. Stay alert to this shit. That's out loud escalation & broad potential incitement we all need to be watching for signs of within our own funnies.

i understand the perils of saying "why is no one reporting this" but i honestly haven't seen enough pairing of the word "geo" with "delaney hall"

Our Sister’s House has been focused on helping Black survivors of gender-based violence for 30 years. But now many critical services it has provided, including a 24-hour hotline, have been pared back due to delays in federal grant funds. They're not alone.

look at this. look at this thing. it has a Dude Display Window

Please imagine a world where United, American Airlines, Delta, Jet Blue, Emirates, British Airways, Quantas, etc etc etc cannot handle international flights and and it is pure CHAOS. I hope they try this before the midterms. They're just stupid and petty enough to think it's possible.

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

A rare longnose batfish galumphed its way into the Coral City Camera Catalog of Fishes this morning as a brand new species of fish (Number 220) we’ve never seen before after 6 plus years of observing! 👃🦇🐟 #longnosebatfish #batfish #coralcitycameracatalogoffishes #coralcitycamera #elegantoddball

i need new glasses. i need them to be bifocals. i need a Rx adjustment and a full checkup. i don't need the twelve levels of stress and torture to manage this, therefore i am avoiding it entirely. headaches abound. it’s the wild west out there for being able to see and get glasses!

This is astoundingly weak. They can't even bring themselves to say "FREE CHILD CARE" - instead they talk about "giving parents back the power of choice." Centrist garbage that'll end up being another tax credit starting six years from now.

I’ve been saying this for a few years and I won’t stop - almost all of the gop shit is easily branded as a “war on kids.” Genital inspections. Abducting immigrant families. Cutting health care. Gutting education. It’s a War on Kids.

"But there is one of her sisters, who has rizz, and I dare say aura. Do let me ask my partner to introduce you.” “Which do you mean?” and turning round, he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till, catching her eye, Darcy snobmaxxed, “She is mid: but has not rizz enough to tempt me."

Probably shouldn't have let a handful of weird business perverts unwind the cultural miracle of American research universities
