[1/x] I cobbled together a chronodiscography of pretty much everything Abdullah Ibrahim ever recorded, or at least as close to that as you can get on Spotify. open.spotify.com/playlist/092...

Trump doesn’t behave erratically to distract *us* — we don’t even exist. In his mind there’s only one person, which is why he’s the audience of one. He’s desperately trying to distract *himself*.

Let it be known from this moment on as the ARC DE TRIOMPHALOS

The subcontractor that’s actually painting the Reflecting Pool, Mid-America Industrial Coatings, uses a Dairy Queen as its business address. cc @atrupar.com, @juddlegum.bsky.social

Someone brought ole Dick down from the attic and plugged him — and he still worked! If that ain’t Made in the USA quality, I don’t know what is.

A young chap has just been in asking about William Gaddis and Robert Musil. a) Nature is healing b) it was like meeting 1990s me

Let’s decide right now whether to call this the Arc de Défaite, the Arc de Débâcle, or the Arc de Déroute. If we work together, we can make that the name *everyone* uses.

Dems are devoted to the long term abolition of their own base.

Americans, this is going to sound like a meme, but please get the Dems to explicitly announce that Alberta will not get any deal from the US should they seperate and/or be annexed

I just made this for @jfisher.bsky.social, but I don’t understand how it hasn't been made a thousand times before

@tbfld.bsky.social look who's becoming an umarell

On a certain level, it’s kinda funny that Trump *tried to start a world war* — by demanding that all our allies jump in — and failed. Kinda.

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

Change in Abstract

Someone used the phrase “thinking the unthinkable” around him. Translation: Trump and his advisers are starting to debate nuking Iran as an exit strategy. My guess: it’ll take the form of a “surrender or we’ll nuke you” ultimatum.

Getting trippy

If I were a betting man, I’d say there’s a x>30% chance this becomes a nuclear conflict. Israel won’t do it directly; my guess is Netanyahu manipulates Trump into dropping a nuke on Iran — not a major city and as a “surrender-or-die” ultimatum. There’s more to say, obv, but that’s the TLDR.

[1/x] Cutesy clicktivism like "#DraftBarron" just reveals how shriveled and trivial our political horizons have become. Do I really need to point out that there isn't a draft *and we don't want one*? No.

I see lots of liberal noise about how Trump’s actions are illegal, but beyond that everything seems like woolly ideas between Gnome Underpants Theory (1. collect underpants, 2. ???, 3 profit!!!) and the Magic of the State. I think we should call this South Parkio–Taussigian School of Jurisprudence.

“forensic dystopianism” 💅🏼 #neologism

BEHOLD THE METASPLAIN

Trump is President AI slop: he says this that sound like things an actual president would say.

#Altman ’s arg about the cost of “training humans” bugged me, and I just figured out why: it escalates #OpenAI ’s liability to the level of reparations. They didn’t just steal entire libraries of literature, they also stole the cost of training *all* the humans who wrote, built, and maintained them.

April last year Iran signed a security treaty with Russia. This means one of two things was bound to happen 1. Russia would attack Iran 2. Russia would do nothing when some one else attacks Iran

This morning I helped partner to crystallize her work over this sabbatical year. It’s a project called “Extending the Sabbatical: Moving from Theory to Practice.” What do you think?

Apparently, those kids in Quakertown who were attacked by the police chief on Friday morning are *still* being held in jail three days later by — wait for it — the police! Sounds like someone’s police department needs a little oversight — say, from the PA Office of State IG’s office.

You know what’d be a good party platform for the Dems to announce? That they’ll disregard as corrupt any Epstein-related immunities, pardons, clemencies and/or commutations issued while Trump is pres. That’d clarify things. If we had a real opposition party they might just do it — but we don’t.

Before we get carried away with YAK — Yet Another Kennedy — let’s ask Schlossberg whether he thinks RFK Jr has committed any crimes and, if so, how he should be punished.

Found, w/ the caption “Marco Rubio in charge of making 1st contact with UFOs after Trump Orders Disclosure”

In 1991, the editor of Tennis magazine called Trump a “jock-sniffer”: someone who “feel[s] somewhat bigger by hanging around with athletes of celebrities”

If you actually *read* the dox w/ "sulfuric acid," there’s contextual evidence vendors needed it for the kind of plumbing issues you get on a private island — a sea water reclamation system. 6x55G drums = Costco size for the ultra-wealthy. But real investigators would try to audit how it was used.

🔥🚨🔥 #Epstein Helper lets you automatically search the DOJ's Epstein files library, download matching docs, extract text (w/ OCR for scanned pages), and run comprehensive analysis using a local Ollama LLM — all through a browser-based UI and a local LLM. 🔥🚨🔥

[1/x] It seems that #Epstein ’s old pilot was arrested in Brazil a few days ago www.youtube.com/shorts/jqEC5...

Take note: The #DoJ is surveilling and analyzing what legislators look into in the #epstein papers — presumably in support the DOJ’s ongoing coverup.

Someone in Congress needs to sponsor the Pretti-Good Act of 2026. It would: 1) remove immunity from any federal agent who willfully and intentionally violates the constitutional rights of a civilian; 2) prohibit any federal agent from pretending to have a judicial warrant if they don’t, from

I figured when Condé Nast shut down Teen Vogue they’d also shut down the @teenvogue.com account, but they didn’t. 🌞 Thanks for leaving it around so people can use it to get the message out! 👊🏻 👊🏼 👊🏽 👊🏾 👊🏿

Ariana Grande sharing an NYC anti-ICE hotline is 🔥, and it reminds me how much I miss Teen Vogue. Will someone please give @versharma.bsky.social a major platform again?

I woke up this morning and decided that self-sabotage is really DIY Brechtian distancing from my own inevitable success.

Case study in language abuse. The words "appear" and "portions" add 0 meaningful content. OF COURSE a video "appears." OF COURSE some parts of the HHS account are true. What these words signify, actually, is: we're terrified to tell the truth plainly. We're terrified of the state.
