“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

the US president, with the explicit support of the US legislature and the US supreme court, is stealing billions of dollars in thousands of ways. meanwhile the NYT is on the case of whether, when mamdani paid a thousand dollars for a knicks ticket out of his own pocket, he got a ticket for VIPs

Good simple project for someone to print up flyers reading “Elana Pirtle-Guiney and Dan Ryan let this park die” and “Steve Novick let this park die” with a reference to the date, item number, and vote breakdown, post them at the park after the grass turns brown

I do not fully trust critics who are not both lovers and haters. All I want is for you to have some kind of taste, some kind of ethic, and I want you to argue in favor of it, which should inevitably mean that you greatly admire some works in your chosen field and definitely don’t admire others.

Famous authors asking you out

LANDS BETWEEN FUNDRAISER STREAM An Elden Ring NG+ Livestream Benefiting KOI Saturday June 13th, 10AM-10PM Pacific Standard Time Join me and a wide rotation of other creators, artists, and all around cool people to raise money for a good cause, goof around, and celebrate pride month.

"The real.problem is the incompetence" Buddy, the real problem is that you are already a tool, and you just objected to being used like one without someone kissing the ring.

So many people focused on Bari Weiss asking to make protesters look more violent and glossing over Pelley admitting they’d already dug deep for the most violent protester footage they could find. His interview is more of an indictment of corporate media than many want to admit.

Gift article link. There's so much here that shows how Pelley was not ready for the Curtis Yarvin of it all. Legacy media is giving its leaders the benefit of the doubt and trying to fix things from inside and it plays into the plans of people like Weiss / Ellisons whose work is more than one show.

I feel like as the years pass, we're forgetting who the true meme king of BlueSky is. And he doesn't like to be forgotten.

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

Good job editors for being clear this is happening under Censorship Jay.

Ronald Reagan died 22 years ago. Wishing a happy day to all those who celebrate ❤️

I like to taste the regret in my beverages

Patricia the woman that you are

Fighting my wrongful termination by the Washington Post. After Charlie Kirk was killed, I was accused of gross misconduct simply for stating the truth about America’s racial double standards when it comes to political violence. We head to arbitration tomorrow. Let’s go.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who's now facing the possibility of losing the Bears to Indiana, says he wasn't willing to "foist" billions of dollars onto taxpayers.

Our government will give sports teams billions of your tax dollars for stadiums, billions to build fossil fuel plants, billions to corporations to improve profits. Our government will not give taxpayers solar panels to reduce utility costs or build great public transit. Our priorities are against us

Happy Pride to Marsha P. Johnson AND Sylvia Rivera.

now and forever

I am the Stranger in this post.

Happy Pride 🌈

I reeally enjoy this blog post demonstrating how English has changed. It uses a story to demonstrate, where each subsequent passage uses older and older language

I literally just made a video about this because I talked to three people who told me they were given misleading information about this ballot initiative!! I hate this so much because it erodes trust when other people are actually trying to get signatures for something good.

Happy pride peeps o7

Science communicators (and also all secular people) should watch this Lily Alexandre video. “I guess I thought eventually I’d find something that was still sacred up close” youtu.be/Q-sE2C-5xrk?...

I consider it a violation of my personal human rights to have to look at an ad at basically any time

this is art

I’m realizing it NEVER goes away and I’m learning to deal with that. “It” doesn’t get better with time. “It” simply moves in like a roommate that doesn’t understand boundaries. You live together now because there isn’t another viable option. You coexist with “it” because you must.

It’s infuriating to read this while many of our elected leaders have embraced the austerity politics of Reaganism. It’s time we tax these large corporations so we can fund our cities without foisting the burden on the working class.

As the Trump admin continues to cut funding for food, healthcare, housing, and road infrastructure to Blue states, a state bank would help us build our own state funding mechanisms to take care of Oregon. #orleg #orpol https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/we-could-end-every-blue-states-budget

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

the far right is just doing the birthday boy defense at this point you just have to laugh

the wikipedia image for sexual roleplay is making my lose my mind

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

I just finished the latest Dungeon Crawler book. Pls send me your recommendations for my next read, series or not. Some of my favorite authors/books are Becky Chambers, Octavia Butler, the Red Rising series, Battle Royale, When Women Were Dragons, etc. Sci-fi appreciated but not necessary.

I'm at the bar, and somebody tried to play bunch of country music, so I skipped all their shit with good music. #DeLaSoul #ATribeCalledQuest #PearlJam #AliceInChains #drinkin

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

How I feel lately constantly talking about my DND characters

i just told a friend on my couch, "shots fired at the White House" and they responded, in a tired voice, "ok"
