Etsy just went fur-free thanks to the efforts of grassroots activists, yet another major victory in the fight to destroy the fur industry, which has a disgusting legacy of colonialism and continues to perpetrate egregious animal cruelty and environmental destruction.

The Daily Wire, a right-wing media farm propped up by fossil fuel money, wants you to think that the transatlantic slave trade was not that bad. Don't fall for it. youtu.be/wvXR8HA423c

Dr. Ian Malcolm is a Byronic hero

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

For me, the humiliating theater of post-9/11 TSA security has always been a sign of our increasingly authoritarian times. We shouldn’t allow ICE goons to erode our dignity and liberty any further. Yet another reason to take the train rather than fly

“[Netanyahu] said he'd been waiting 40 years for an American president to join him in attacking Iran and in Donald Trump, he finally found somebody stupid enough and reckless enough to actually do it.” Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov explains why the Iran war is actually about Israel.

Early this morning I was a guest on a stream hosted by the incomparable Pete Kelly from History Time talking about some excellent historical fiction films. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/live/CSQgzFx...

"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." – Oscar Wilde

We often don't think about how long the transition from hunter-gatherer life to what we now call "civilization" was. The invention of writing is closer to 2026 than it is to the beginning of the Agricultural Revolution.

A friend of mine just told me, “The right pretends at Puritanism but is secretly perverted. The left plays at perversion but is secretly puritanical.” Too fucking real, man.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Nuance is not the same thing as moral complexity.

Post-Avatar depression has me reaching for my phantom kuru to make tsaheylu with my e-bike

I spent my late December in godly labor (as should you) making this video, where I answer your questions about time travel, mental health during the Civil War, environmentalism, my family heritage, and whether or not history can be "apolitical." youtu.be/m3yiEuyuwOs

A manbo (Vodou priestess) was just murdered in Haiti by a mob that accused her of being a loupgarou, understood in the Caribbean as a vampire/witch-like creature. Horrible. lemidiinfo.com/justice-popu...

It’s insane that the far-right is trying to rehabilitate the Crusades because they were objectively the most pathetic campaigns in the history of warfare. The first was a cannibalistic rampage, the second was a miserable failure, the third was a war crime, and the fourth didn’t even get there.

Guess we’re headed to the remorseless hyper-capitalist Avatar future huh

"Interventions in the sex lives of animals are so intrusive and ubiquitous that..bestiality laws had to be rewritten to include explicit exceptions for farmers." love this piece by @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social & Gabe newrepublic.com/article/2036...

I’ve watched Piers Morgan run roughshod over vegans, human rights activists, and leftists a hundred times. But he just let Nick Fuentes spew poison on his platform for 2 hours, his only response to bad-faith Nazi propaganda flaccid hand-wringing and apologies for interrupting.

In case you need to win any dinner table arguments about settler colonial history on this vile holiday, here’s my King Philip’s War playlist. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Hate to be that guy, and like, the more people learn about King Philip’s War the better, but PBS Origins just blatantly ripped me off. The title, several of the turns of phrase in the video… their researchers clearly just watched some of my videos and just repeated stuff that I’ve said.

Excellent article.

The Makah whaling controversy drags on. Last summer NOAA granted the tribe an exemption from anti-whaling laws. At the time it was regarded as the final word on the matter. But now concerns about gray whales’ declining populations have stymied the hunts once again. www.kuow.org/stories/maka...

The Native Americans fighting Pennywise flashback in It: Welcome to Derry depicts 17th century colonialism in Maine with Oregon Trail era covered wagons. How the fuck do you not include spooky Puritan shit in your Stephen King homage? Lazy-ass writing and production design

I’m cautiously optimistic, but will only be truly excited if Stephen Sommers returns to direct.

Pluribus is absolutely amazing. Good lord I love Vince Gilligan’s filmmaking team.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is not about "playing God" – it's a timeless parable about human responsibility grappling with environmentalism, feminism, liberation politics, sexuality, birth, death, and family. Let's rediscover the true radicalism of this masterpiece of horror. youtu.be/CY3LkkAgePg

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

Every YT creator I know is saying the same thing. The algorithm is fritzing out. Views and revenue are down (sometimes way down), and nobody seems to know why. Some blame this new "restricted mode," others say it's part of Big Tech's rightward shift. Here's my two cents. (1/9)

Remember when a boomer pulled a gun on me while protesting Omni Hotels’ use of foie gras? Well earlier today, Omni finally… quacked… under pressure and promised to enact a foie gras-free policy. Remember, kids: pressure campaigns get the goods.

Some good news for a change: thanks to a sustained pressure campaign by grassroots activists, fashion conglomerate Condé Nast will now longer feature animal fur in its publications — including Vogue, the most influential fashion magazine in the world. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/s...

Many happy returns to revered and best-selling #author #AnneRice, born this day in 1941 who gave the world #TheVampireChronicles beginning with the iconic #InterviewWithTheVampire. She sadly passed away in 2021.

The new EAT-Lancet report is out and I wrote about it -- and also what I saw at Climate Week NYC: An environmental movement still cozying up to Big Meat, and still unafraid to confront scientific consensus on food, agriculture, and livestock.

“‘There’s kind of no way to solve the land use problems in the world unless there is moderation of diets – meat consumption, particularly beef – in the developed world.’” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's one thing to sit in your favorite armchair and read about Colonel Benedict Arnold's grueling march across the wilds of Maine to seize the fortress of Quebec City from the British – it's another to strap your hiking boots on, hop in a boat, and try to do it yourself. youtu.be/pK2Ol6RfxkM
