I love their films but A24 is simply an impractically small paper size

Mexico Versus Nazis is a theme that’s really resonating with me of late

Today’s gut punch.

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

the very pathetic truth is that all the fuckers writing 'harris lost by running on the left' op-eds would, if she had ran the exact same campaign but won, be writing 'harris won by rejecting the left' op-eds instead. they're not honest people

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Still one of the most insane tweets of all time

This is the third story in the past week detailing how natural carbon sinks are starting to falter. We don’t know nearly enough about how these tipping points could play out, but the potential for genuinely terrifying outcomes should be obvious by now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This excellent mindfuck of an article is making me question my faith in materialism salvage.zone/beyond-folk-...

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

”im addicted to this Buddhism game” —things someone who is good at buddhism would say???

I think fairly hair trigger bans on things that are death threat esque is good 🤷🏽

If you quote tweet the ceo of a site with a photo of a dude with the implication he's about to get shot & die in the alt text, you may get banned. This is not a very complicated situation.

Every army is basically a logistics operation, with the goal of delivering small pieces of metal to people who don't want them.

I think Ezra Klein's take is that America is on the verge of a major step up in terms of sectarian violence, and he is afraid of that, and thinks very major compromises are worth it to avoid that outcome. Admittedly sometimes he says/suggest otherwise, but it's my overall impression.

Despite having read about the Haitian revolution before (the Black Jacobins is of the books that most influenced my life) I'd somehow forgot about or never learned about en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaine... and I just think this person is too much for contemporary humanities people, we're not ready.

The presumption of suspicion is exhausting. Also, when people dont engage with my intellectual contribution and think they're being good allies by tokenizing me - that shit is exhausting as well.

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

Realism is not doomerism. Doomerism is: “We’re all gonna die, Earth will die, nothing matters” etc. Realism is: “Even given maximum mitigation measures, we’re in for very rapid social, political, and ecological change, and we need to mentally prepare for it.” They are not the same.

I gotta be nicer to myself.
