This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

“It gives the illusion I was standing as some lone warrior in a cloud of gas,” Evans said. “It just happened to be the way the photo was framed. But people got hurt, people were hurt purposefully.”

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Good morning I don't know why, but I love pylons. I found these in the East Bay somewhere in Northern California. I call the shot The Hum, which is as term you'll know if you follow @hookland.bsky.social 's account (which you absolutely should).

Walk this way

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

A gender lens remains one of the best ways to understand far right authoritarian regimes. Male order is imposed through a family-like structure, with women subservient and children taught that fear is the price of belonging www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Y'all, there was a whole beach of these ocean potatoes, slow-roasting in the sun. Cuddle puddles of them!

Goodnight, all. May we all know moments of peace and sun-warmed bliss like this adorable ocean potato I saw today.

Tonight's Milky Way taken from Point Reyes, California. The frames were taken about 33 miles, as the pelican flies, from San francisco. Light the curvature of the Earth is weird!

Anyway, if anyone wants to know more about the history of Tylenol linked to autism and if you should be worried, Science VS did an episode on it: podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/s...

I liked this show a bit more than this, but agree with most of the criticism, especially how the show treats the terrible & criminal behaviour of the brothers: "Jake is a screw-up himself in ways that are much less innocuous and much more reprehensible than the show thinks they are" is spot on.

"Since 2002, right-wing ideologies have fueled more than 70% of all extremist attacks and domestic terrorism plots in the United States, according to the Anti-Defamation League." -- so call them out as liars when they say otherwise www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Black Rabbit is pretty good and there's great acting all around and one of the the standout moments in the whole show for me is Troy Katsur as Mancuso in episode 6 reaming out his son and tearing him a new one in a completely silent scene done in sign language.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.” These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

Seriously though, these days a lot of people who catch important milestone baseballs want a ton of stuff in return, many of which are just ridiculous. Just wanting to play catch with Mike Trout? Well done. (Somehow I bet Trout and/or the Angels will give the fan some more stuff.)

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

I love the Winter Olympics let’s all get frostbite and fall down a mountain

Nobody wears a raspberry beret anymore and that’s sad

nobody wants to mmmbop, ba duba dop ba, du bop, ba duba dop ba, du bop, ba duba dop ba du, yeah, yeah anymore and that's sad

Nobody walks on sunshine anymore and that's sad

Nobody pumps up the jam anymore and that's sad

There are people walking around in this world who have never known the sharp, hot, chemical smell of a mimeograph or untangled the cord of a landline telephone. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

you’re in your late thirties and you haven’t even slain a chaos serpent? weak

This is amazing.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Kestrel alert!!! 🪶🌿🚨

I just think they’re neat.

Breaking news: A federal judge in Tampa struck down President Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, saying the 85-page complaint was “decidedly improper and impermissible” under the rules governing civil proceedings in federal court.

Shall I slide discussion of Gene Wolfe into the chat, which basically IS this trope in pure crystallized form? And well, for example, I can't listen effectively to Wolfe in audio, because I do need to work out the puzzle and I do better with that reading, stopping and thinking.

If I find the prose enthralling and exciting to read, I can keep reading even when everything seems a mystery. Also, if the characters have somehow hooked me. I've read Foucault's Pendulum multiple times and keep finding new things in it. Same for Shadow of the Torturer.

Morning repost!
