You absolutely should.

It's such a small thing, but the prime time broadcast editing out the 8 or so seconds of Vance being booed is such an indictment of where we are right now. Just wanton cynical editing of the media record, nobody's the wiser, all to soothe the egos of cowardly tyrants needing to project "power"

A more ambitious person than myself would begin a new publishing line to bring pocket pulp book racks to coffee shops and revival movie houses

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As bell hooks writes in All About Love (quoting graffiti she'd seen on her walk to work), “The search for love continues even in the face of great odds.” And man, it sure does. (screenshot: Perfect Tides: Station to Station.)

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

same tbh

I’ve see so much of this reaction among corporate feminist types and I swear the idea that women should be present at the tables where they decide to exploit people is so viscerally disgusting to me

Minneapolis has real Boston 1775 vibes lately. No surprise that John Adams—a moderate farmer and lawyer, yet the principal agitator for independence—was radicalized against the English crown by its Eye of Sauron-like brutality against his city.

lmao NBC is doing takedown requests for videos of JD Vance Getting boo'd at the Olympics

most recent email i have received is a guy who told me i should be lynched. looked him up and he is a 68/69-year-old retiree in phoenix who doesn't appear to be married or have children. his facebook page is nothing but reposted memes and AI slop and he used to post a lot on gun forums

even if you don't care about sports you gotta admit it's awesome that this guy had to hear to his face how the world feels about him

yeah that's a real headscratcher

The take in this image feels designed to infuriate me personally.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

sure seems like they thought the press would ignore like most of the deranged stuff trump says

Replaying Cyberpunk 2077 and was struck by a small sidequest in which Johnny Silverhand delivers the Gen X lament and wonders why history didn't end. stuckness.ghost.io/johnny-silve...

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Mainstream journalists love to say that "objectivity" is a "traditional" value in journalism, but that is absolutely not the case. It is a modern writing/editing style that came with the professionalization of what was previously a blue-collar job.

What, in this scenario, could "fake" possibly mean?

UPDATE: lol the Times has rewritten the whole story

#5: "You're the biggest rube on the planet"

Proud to present this pictorial thread of Jamelle Bouie insulting you #1: You're a dumbass

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch CANE RIVER (1982) in our Celebrate Black History collection! ❤️ Written, produced, and directed by the late, trailblazing director Horace B. Jenkins and crafted by an entirely African American cast and crew

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

At press time, it remained unclear whether adults should be held responsible for their actions.

Good morning ☕

me and my coffee are very happy, thank you!

Space Pirate (1994)

after days of intense congestion i can finally breathe easily through my nose again and man, let me tell ya, breathing: it's faaaaaaantastic!

Did you know that the original Japanese version of Karnov has a whole story, cut entirely from the U.S. release (likely as part of Nintendo's sensitivity at the time around religious themes & imagery) about Karnov, a villain in life, trying to prove himself worthy of redemption in the eyes of God?

Genuinely: what are people expecting from Mamdani. Why is he being held to this insane standard (we know why.)

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

What the hell is the New York Times doing? In its article on Trump posting a video that included a clip of the Obamas as apes, NYT tries to help him come up with an excuse: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it." WTF.

The robotic inhumanity of corpo manager types (seen on Facebook group about trade union) You'd think they care about whether you finished your work versus just adhering to a clock but nope, they're all freaks.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Maga dudes love gender-affirming care

Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

top schumering lately. his party's supporters want ICE abolished; he proposes ICE being reformed, & then those reforms are a bunch of half-measures like the agents not wearing masks, & then he waters that down until we land on the agents not wearing masks unless they say they have a reason. 10/10

Hello! I'm looking to speak to anyone who works, or has worked in a diversity position at a major studio or publisher (or whatever it's been called at that company, inclusive growth, DEI, whatever!). Conversations can be 100% anon, of course, via DM here or email lukeATaftermathDOTsite. Thanks!
