after obama the GOP saw her coming down the pike and was like "quick we gotta break everything"

Ok, anyone reading this a culture/personal essay editor? I have been mulling over my intense regret about the way I wrote about Lena Dunham's (magnificent??) Girls when it first debuted, and as she has been doing press for Famesick I have been processing my own regrets

Louis XIV sharia papacy lets go

At the risk of sounding alarmist, this is looking like an antichrist situation.

it felt very new york to watch a man pushing a stroller in a crosswalk casually threaten to murder a car driver, as in he literally said “i will murder you”

did he just call the pope weak on crime lksjlkdjfkldjf

It is good to be reminded this is why Trump fears elections and polls: he knows they are real and he knows people know they are real

oh no we’re really doing it??

At no point did he ever possess skills or promise! and yet

That JD Vance magic strikes again

how can i get invested in this man’s legal defense

Being a very cis het guy in this particular dumb era I’ve thought a lot about the idea of manliness and masculinity and I think at the most basic level the answer is that people should both *feel* safer and actually *be* safer in your presence, and the rest is just commentary

MELANIA: You want me. Out of nowheres. To remind every one. Of my best friend, and child sex monster. Jeffrey Epstein?? (squints evilly) NATHAN FIELDER: (voice over) The First Lady loved my idea.

This man is not threatening or harming anybody. It says so. Perception of safety has taken over as safety itself in Calgary. But it’s unaccompanied by education of how people end up unhoused. CBC is inverting who is unsafe in this scenario. An editor asked for this story, then gave it a headline.

to all who celebrate...

Objection overruled, counsel may continue

“tread on me”

Calgary: NOT a real city.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

A beautiful passage, one of my favorites ever, which is also about me doing my posts on bluesky

if i went to the moon i would never shut up about it

they really said "they should have sent a poet"

im so happy the chocolate spread went to space

Artemis II seems like it's just straight-up happening in a parallel reality. The Apollo missions happened in the depths of the Vietnam War, but Nixon, for example, communicated with the astronauts. It almost seems like Trump has no idea either Artemis or the moon exists.

i do understand the ongoing intl crisis is very concerning so maybe a good time to share that “anti-bedtime leftist”clocked me and i’m listening. i’m learning

my husband just sent me this

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

Social media en toto is losing relevance + utility. We will not see another "global water cooler" like peak twitter again in the medium-term. This is not specific to Bsky. Threads has a broken algo AND the worst of the griftfluencer class. These are just the times we live in. New things will emerge

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

samira MOHAN !!!

look, this IS funny

NASA is honestly one of the greatest things humans have ever created, the stuff of math and dreams

the level of pent-up horniness for a rocket launch that doesn't benefit or involve elon musk exceeds even my high expectations

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Even if the separatists don't win their referendum question, these people with their horrific views are still my neighbours. I can't leave Alberta, so I stay here, living among angry entitled separatists spouting racism & violating human rights, people who would prefer to see me harmed or even dead.

we gotta pause this reality tv for a war speech from the reality tv president huh

Semi-regular post that Calgary could be THE BEST BIKING CITY IN NORTH AMERICA if we spent a fraction of what Paris spent on more safe, separated on street lanes that networked to our 1000kms! of car free pathways #yycbike #yyccc www.fastcompany.com/91509506/how...

gofund.me/d72082de1 Hi I’m trying to move out

No matter how much it's talked about, it's still not talked about enough that the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether the words in the 14th amendment mean what the words in the 14th amendment mean.

Massive attacks tonight on central Isfahan, a sacred and stunning city in Iran of 2.3 million people. The city is on fire. The deaths and damage will be catastrophic. It would be like someone blowing up the Vatican, for comparison. May those responsible burn in hell. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan

So this story is just going to pretend that the United States isn't doing this to Cuba right now huh

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.
