Brilliant work here

“They’re our neighbors, you’re invaders” is outstanding work

This is very cathartic

we were now in that enchanted calm which they say lurks at the heart of every commotion

My very first musical memory was a Raffi concert in Los Angeles in 1988 when I was four years old. I’ve known his music longer than anyone else’s. I take real solace in knowing what a standup guy he is.

These guys really just ain't built for this. Where is Thaddeus Stevens. Where is Ulysses S. Grant. Where is Frederick Douglass. Where is William Jennings Bryan. Where is Shirley Chisholm. Where is Robert La Follette. Where is John Lewis.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

two ICE guys grab someone near a protest and start beating him. “Stop hitting me,” he shouts, “I love Stephen Miller!” “Don’t fuck with us, buddy,” says ICE. “NOBODY loves Miller.”

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

DC National Guard you have a chance to redeem yourselves. Do it and be legends.

Madness everywhere you look

Huge affront to FIFA

China Mieville’s Bas-Lag novels

These! Guys! All! Need! To! Swing!

Gonna need James Elroy’s reaction asap

David Brooks? The noted feuilletonist?

“To articulate what is past does not mean to recognize ‘how it really was.’ It means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger…In every epoch, the attempt must be made to deliver tradition anew from the conformism which is on the point of overwhelming it.” Walter Benjamin

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right

They cut off her wedding ring. Pigs.

I don’t care what anyone says this is a great episode of KOTH that if anything could have been even weirder

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

The tone also strongly suggests that whoever wrote this thinks the immaculate conception was Jesus’s, not Mary’s. Oops!

The most boring writers in America have been reduced to whinging about Bluesky and that’s somehow the fault of Bluesky users and not these tragic scribblers.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Every semester I have students with testing accommodations and every semester it is not a problem in any way shape or form.

I read this and assumed it was just more proof that Vance is horny for racism

It’s very important to me that these people never feel safe ever again for the rest of their lives.

“Entering illegally” is itself an admission that they are subject to US laws. Douglass wouldn’t have wasted his time with this trifling idiocy.

We need candidates who can match John “the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood” Brown’s energy on this issue.

Sounds like a pit one is meant to drown in.

RIP Tom Stoppard. from “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”

Grad school at its best

David Tennant remains the GOAT

Today we are grateful for Walter Benjamin Garland, who was born #otd in Brooklyn, NYC, 1914. He served in the US Army from 1930-1933. He studied math at Brooklyn College and worked as a studio musician working on Your Hit Parade. He joined the CPUSA in 1935 and was involved with the NNC.

Can’t believe it’s been 40 years since Rocky won the Cold War

"I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers"

“Truly hilarious and very relatable”

A movie that takes place where you’re from

Absolutely brutal day for the tourist bureau of American Canyon, CA

This must hit so hard if you’re stupid

She’s probably lying, but if she’s not? Good.

Future historians are going to reconstruct Euhemerism from first principles to make sense of the fragmentary and contradictory records of the early Digital Dark Age.
