The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

It’s a marathon, not a sprint 🐄

forgot that earlier in my art journey I drew Saturn Devouring Her Son Lisa Frank Version

this is very much not the core of the issue. we tolerate all sorts of biological advantages and disadvantages in sports. the real fundamental question here is: why is this one different than the others?

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

check it, good people!

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

i think about 'we slidin' at least once a week

congrats to every "moderate" who cheered on this cruel, unfounded panic. hope you got what you wanted www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I'm sure this article has been written, but I think there's something very interesting about contemprary ideas of the deep past being almost uniformly brown and bland when a lot of modern scholarship suggests quite the opposite

A week late but happy belated anniversary to this iconic post

Ouch.

In extremely sick burn news:

Deleted my Substack earlier in the year out of concern for the choices being made on that platform. Moved everything over to Patreon which has been fine. Still no idea how to effectively promote it! Like all writers, wouldn’t mind more readers.

As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

Busta Rhymes currently dancing in the middle of 34th street with Ninja Turtles. America!!!!

This Machine Keeps the Ghost is for those struggling with lonely online spaces, being former church kids, and anxiety about our digital future. It is available on the big bad buy everything site but you can make me feel crippling gratitude by ordering from an indie bookstore!

I love this post because it’s such a well observed and deeply felt reaction but also I cannot WAIT to be of the age where all my posts start with “I am now thinking about ___” no news peg, no clever way in, it’s so beautiful to know your thoughts now are enough

I am here to rank Vanity Fair's hunks of Hollywood by their YouTube selections: 1. Andrew Garfield 2. Glen Powell (EFAP <3) 3. Michael B. Jordan 4. LaKeith Stanfield 5. A$AP Rocky (points for working with Danny Elfman, some deducted for attributing Nightmare Before Christmas to Burton alone)

New essay Just in time for the renewal announcement, I wrote about Alien: Earth’s interestingly imperfect first season, of fresh biological horrors and careless creators. It has also exposed a need for a better understanding of how art reaches us. www.patreon.com/posts/all-de...

Can I make it any more obvious

Shea Whigham as Roscoe Conkling is such insanely good casting that you have to be at my intersection of Character Actor Sicko and History Sicko to fully appreciate but fortunately that's like hundreds of thousands of people on here

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

lol she got his ass and he knows it

that's one of the great artists of our time right there

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
