bring back DIFFICULT PEOPLE

when i consider how many people bought trump's bullshit about no more wars the kindest possible thing i can think "how can we change society so that it doesn't keep producing total dullards at such an alarming rate"

it's all lost to time now but max landis used to pretend to be his own girlfriend on a forum about professional wrestling

fictional characters whom i believe would be in the files: roger sterling vic mackey grass valley greg from that mr show sketch shiv roy (but weirdly no other roys)

im 1 week clean

2 weeks until Oscar... me and @dizzydoctor.bsky.social are making an On Cinema zine and we put a website up for it today! :] thepervertsguidetooncinema.neocities.org

Interesting to note what the borders of Israel are according to the American Jewish Committee

Night owl video presents MYSTERY VHS NIGHT at low cinema next week ft a movie I have recently mentioned on bluesky but I’m not allowed to say what it is

Anyone who has spent five minutes in a punk scene, even the biggest losers I ever met in my life, is smarter than any media-American trying to sanitize the guy with a conspicuous Nazi tattoo

Went to see the sopranos stuff at the museum of the moving image today - not an extensive collection (no props or costumes sadly) but what they do have is pretty cool

It’s so insulting and shameful that these people have power over anyone. They are lower than even the worst people I have ever met

How cool is it to be dumb right now? You see the horrors of right wing fascism before your eyes then take out your phone and type "ever notice its only the left doing violence 🤣" then you go to bed and continue to passively approve of ten thousand murders.

We messed up when we made everything a dead end industry except death itself

looked up more of these and this line is insane

Listen I know the President is a sex criminal but he did this because he’s a Republican President and this is what Republican presidents do

A TMZ exclusive on an ostensible national security breach is a rotten cherry on top

New reaction image dropped

Palestinian Uncles doing freestyle poetry battles coming with some of the hardest lines I’ve heard in a long time.

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you. Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

It's like being stuck in a car when a crazy person is driving

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

i think it would be in the interest of all americans to adopt this view if they have not already bsky.app/profile/hels...

I have found myself on Arabic rap battle TikTok. I prefer Al Arani but Akram has his fans as well

i would bet my life savings against trump knowing what the strait of hormuz is

it’s pretty cool how Schumer in particular is the absolutely worst guy to be in charge of the opposition for everything happening under Trump 2 more than anyone else just perfectly not suited for the moment

From The Archives:

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

indiscriminately bombing Iran is not a distraction of the Epstein files, it is a validation of their significance as more than a sex pest hunt. this is what elite impunity for morons looks like. a school turned to rubble on a whim.

Even though I and everyone else knew it was probably going to happen, waking up to find out that this country’s leaders have started another needless war is making me so angry and sad

every time im lying on my heating pad (so 90% of the time) i feel like this

This is what they took from you

There's this very cool map that shows where and how the New Deal shaped the country. We had real ambition at one point livingnewdeal.org/map/

it's crazy making that the current jobs program that any level of government is pushing right now is either becoming a cop (state/local) or becoming an ice agent (federal). the people yearn to dig holes and fill them back up!

Every beautiful building in my hometown was a WPA project. The hiking trails I grew up on were all cut by the CCC. We could have had it all

I’ve found my way onto back pain TikTok and was watching a woman outline a similar history to me and then about three minutes into the video she said she cured her pain by “living in love”

Zohran bringing the fake newspaper is hilarious. Trump has the mental capacity of a 6 year old

Everyone loving the nyc snow shoveling jobs proves a candidate promoting a public works program would do fdr numbers. Because that’s why they were fdr numbers

Mamdani is working up to pulling the rust cohle move on him

Ok now that the pictures of him are very public can I say women who have been for years insisting that Pedro pascal is straight are a baffling subculture

i am concerned w them having a meeting today though - there's been more ice stuff happening here the last few days, makes me wonder if there's a plan for more

after speaking with zohran mamdani this afternoon, president trump announced that he will kill himself immediately

imagine having to suck up to trump while youre in the middle of a fast. requires superhuman willpower

mamdani shadow president

kiss the ring trump

i feel so bad for whoever ice lied to in order to gain access to the columbia building to kidnap that student

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

I notice Sam Kriss has managed to do the full cycle from being Me Too'd and cast out of the british left and UK journalism, finding sporadic work in obscure trad/right wing blogs, then unherd/spectator, and now being brought into the fold of mainstream US journalism
