At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

The kidnappings of Black, Latine, Indigenous, and Asian US citizens are not an accident. They are the leading edge of a wide-scale ethnic cleansing campaign with centuries-old roots that is intentionally targeting not just non-citizens but all people of color. All. People. Of. Color.

It’s really this simple… all we are getting is cops

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Don’t care what nobody says, we’re proud of our Chicago Bears 🐻⬇️ Good season, fellas.

my husband put on nirvana and my children instinctively invented moshing from first principles

Is Righteous Gemstones one of the great tv comedies? Many people are saying

the horror of this is compounded by the fact that the whipple building sits on the same military fort where 1600+ Dakota, mostly women and children were held in a concentration camp in 1863, where over 300 died

I want my dogs full of love… no thoughts

Timeline reset

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

Also, some of y’all would benefit from journaling. A great many of y’all, actually. But that’s neither here nor there.

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

For the regime to describe the ICE agent’s brutal murder of a woman in Minneapolis as defensive is for the regime to enshrine ICE’s total immunity as it expands its killing, kidnapping, terrorizing, and caging of us.

can't stress this enough. Bluesky is both 1. surveilled and 2. unerasable. Do not fedpost on this platform. Keep it to yourself, or if you _must_, then go to an encrypted Signal chat.

Six Feet Under, Fleabag, The Sopranos

Idk if this is corny to say or whatever but Ms Rachel is a radical human rights activist. Her work to advocate and create conditions for the dignity, rights, and respect for children as fully realized human beings In her discipline/practice as well as her politics is admirable beyond words Idek

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Quoting this again to bring to you: EL TIGRE ES PEQUEÑO Y GORDO

people talk about stealing resources but this is about the wounded masculinity of Americans and the desire to feel powerful by hurting, conquering, killing, taking, this is about Americans understanding ourselves as masters of the world and lashing out in rage at a world that won't just submit

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus

lol, lmao even

Shoot this right into my veins.

Sinners is a great movie because it contains the hidden truth that when the devil arrives he will be riverdancing.

This piece was SO good — bleak but also unafraid to call out how reading is truly so fundamental to understanding any of this

So many shots in The Sopranos are just art just straight up art (yes I’m doing my annual rewatch)

whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

I’m between Lucas Sinclair and Karen Wheeler for MVP of the season

That first Nazgûl who lost Frodo right outside the Shire fucking choked

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

hey man did you notice that the Westfold fell. yeah everyone was looking for you. i mean it’s not a big deal. no really it’s fine just for next time you should probably be around

Yeah the Two Cathedrals ep of West Wing still whips

Merriam-Webster from the top rope!

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

This piece is so good
