Don’t sleep on Freaky Tales, also a masterpiece of this genre that came out this year!

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Getting my world rocked when this came out is probably my most Gen X trait

This matters a lot more than his tweets.

"The war on science, on democracy, on constitutional norms, the war on immigrants—all of these things are branches of the class war, because losing the class war is what granted the bad people the power to pursue those things in such an unchecked manner." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/all-the-th...

The crossover we all crave

“Inconvenience is the price of community” Living together means compromise: waiting, yielding, helping. Motonormativity flips this, teaching us that speed and personal convenience outrank care for others.

Context

The real kicker at the end

"There's this underlying hostility that AI enthusiasts have for people who, you know, practice and hone their skills and get training to do things" @acollierastro.bsky.social on fire youtu.be/TMoz3gSXBcY?...

The most any of these 1st/2nd century historical sources claim about Jesus is that there was a movement around somebody by that name. There are almost no factual claims made about the man himself beyond basic existence!

Anybody But Newsom 2028

Where are the cosplayers with stormtrooper outfits?

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

The year is 17776

I sat down to talk about my work at MasterClass building with @effect-ts.bsky.social, have a listen!

Kahless doesn’t know what a war or a President is but he does know honor

Your foster parents are dead

@padilla.senate.gov gets arrested then goes and votes for a crypto scam? make it make sense

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

I’m sorry if ur uncomfortable with the fact that California is in Latin America but actually I’m not sorry this is the world we live in these are the people who live here it’s beautiful grow up

This is why I recently started a Wired subscription

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

Much of American politics consists of entreaties to coddle those who “sincerely hold” incorrect beliefs, instead of demanding people finally start taking facts into account

Funding and promoting an ongoing genocide undermines any other moral claims the Democrats might have. Either you believe in universal Liberal values, or you don't.

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

One of the defining features of America is that every time the forces of equality and human rights lands a crushing blow against the slavers and genociders they later welcome the latter group back into the tent in the spirit of national reconciliation and my idea is we should stop doing that.

love a senator imploring regular citizens to fight back against tyranny. dawg you spent the last twenty years giving machine guns and tanks to traffic cops this is like pushing your toddler into the ring with ivan drago

I’ve completely lost track of who is an accelerationist now or why

Honored to be contributing to this event tonight at The Crown Oakland. Chingiz Kam will conduct a powerful Tuvan ritual using drums and chanting, joined by the incomparable @arringtond.bsky.social, with closing sounds by Hair and Space Museum (@davigoli.bsky.social and myself).

And we’ve been reaching across the aisle to our doom ever since

*Richard Dawkins has entered the chat*

Republicans have talked themselves into an apocalyptic worldview where things getting worse only reinforces that their approach is right and they should double down. The voter base - millions of Americans - is negatively polarized to facts and reason.

Need a mug that says “billionaire tears”

Kristi noem's Nazi prison tour was made possible because in the past 20 years absolutely no one in power even considered having the Hague execute gw bush for war crimes. He abu ghraibed without any consequences whatsoever so trump could create a Dachau within 6 months

Blue-state Democrats have no hope opposing Trump if they can't first purge the corrupt and opportunistic Newsom/Bass/Cuomo/Adams wing of the party. If we can't even clean house in a one-party state, how can we hope to make the country work better?

During the George Floyd marches, organizers came up with a list of actionable items one can do to keep oneself safe during mass actions. Still applicable these days I think. One such list: www.itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2017/01/a-fe...

How did they invent prose? Literary historians have often remarked–though nobody seems to remember it or believe them–that prose is unnatural. When people invent writing, they never start there. When they first start to write, they usually write receipts and lists–less often oracles...

Republicans can, in the words of the late great David Lynch, “fix their hearts or die”. There is no place in civil society for Republicans to stay Republicans.

i am not dopamine scrolling. i am not doom scrolling. i am simply continuing my search for the single sentence that will explain everything. its out there. lets find it

I do not believe that the AfD (or Trump) platform is designed to address legitimate “concerns”

Just saw NO OTHER LAND, the Oscar-nominated documentary that can't get US distribution. It focuses almost entirely on settler violence and destruction over 5 years at Masafer Yatta, and the lives of the Palestinians affected. Beautifully shot and heartbreaking. Go see it if you can!

A couple days ago, my dear friend Garek Druss departed this plane for the next, after a years-long battle with cancer. He left behind a wife and young child. He had a deep influence on everyone around him with his kindness, generosity, and healing art. garekdruss.bandcamp.com/album/prayer...
