Enjoyed this a lot (not just because one of my articles is referenced). Easy to read and engrossing, will probably write a full review soonish.

I'm not gonna share the AI "Walmart was cool in 2002" video, so instead as a person who worked at several Walmarts between 1998-2011 I'm gonna share stories of what it was actually like back then. A man with a 32 oz Budweiser in his pocket tried to tickle me several times & we had to call the cops.

You do not need to do bipartisanship with a party this committed to mass death.

This is some Roman gladiator-ass shit.

When you look at the percentage increase in food and fuel costs, it’s no wonder most people hate them. They are meant to be for us, and doing something about it, not fannying about sucking up to techbros and elites while handwringing and claiming we are skint.

I cannot express how tired i am of thinking about, worrying about, talking about, and stressing about whether it's time for me to flee the United States while I have the means and opportunity to do so.

I'm talking with @mollinko.bsky.social and seriously, what was with the 90s genre shows and their bland milquetoast male love interests for women.

Roland Barthes is here to tell you that your mission, should you choose to accept it, is ‘to make meaning subtle’:

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

There are no words to describe how happy shit like this makes me. Absolutely masterful set-up and reveal from 1:07. I howled

It is simply murder, for Republicans to get in power and immediately stab the most vulnerable people in the back with a 9 inch long knife, and then Democrats acting like pulling it out an inch or two is an impossibly ambitious task worthy of praise.

This is in line with thoughts I’ve been having. Friendship is so elusive. I’m come back a little to reading about autism after getting fed up with thinking about it, and I actually think I’m so autistic. So in myself. My masking was always PITIFUL if present at all. And importantly, thank you Elsa

Oof, damn this is real. The experience of the adults around you looking at you like some kind of misshapen garment or crooked plant, not quite sure what to do about it, not quite willing to tell you what's going on. Just a vague sense of doing it wrong and internalizing it your whole life.

Big day for me. A box I've been saving for over 3 years was just perfect for something

The church deserved to be abandoned. The patriarchy deserves to be dismantled. The legacy media deserves to be challenged. The elite political institutions deserve to be scrutinized. But god damn, tearing down stuff is less than half the job! At some point you've gotta build a better world.

Good news.

When the toxic, horrific ideology you're fighting against has support of 30% of the country, that means it DOESN'T have the support of 70% of the country, which in turn means that your job—which is to defeat them and deprive them of power—is a relatively straightforward one.

THE MEME IS REAL

As Ta-Nehisi Coates points out to Ezra Klein (who doesn't listen), for a certain % of the population hatred is an energy is in its own right, not merely an unfortunate response to difficult circumstances. It is not rational or appeasable or a symptom of something else

I really like these drawings. bsky.app/profile/chlo...
