Does it ever even occur to these people that unemployed people can't buy their stuff??

Ever since someone on here brought up the fact that the media literally just interviews rich people to get their thoughts on random shit, even though there’s absolutely no need to do that, it’s all that I can see everywhere

math textbook covers for some reason:

Worth noting, I essentially never hear “fuck the south” from anyone, regardless of race or political affiliation, who has no connection with the south. It’s basically always from someone who left themselves, or whose family left.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill. @melbuer.bsky.social reports:

A poster whose name I forget pointed out that when he grew up in rural Iowa he never saw Confederate flags because it wasn't the South but now they're everywhere.

this doesn't mean the South is hopeless, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't keep trying to win elections and fight the MAGAs in the South, but maintaining this fantasy nonsense about how the South doesn't REALLY have a uniquely racist culture in a number of respects is just foolishness

I read this awhile back bc @dumplingmenace.bsky.social talked about it 🐋 bonkers book I had a great time reading it and immediately recommended it to all my friends after I finished it. cool to see there’s a special edition!!

We’ve begun shipping our copies of @danielkraus.com’s ingenious, tense masterpiece, Whalefall, and will be reordering additional copies from the publisher, SST Publications. Snag yours here: subterraneanpress.com/newswhalefal...

Fuck this guy too

Also I’m very sorry to be the one to tell you all this but teenagers DO have sex and it IS important that they understand their own bodies. Comprehensive sex ed shouldn’t be just making sure they know how to avoid pregnancy and STIs.

Josh Davidson continues his fedjacketing campaign, spreading rumors that we are "a cop or an informant." We, our comrades & allies, incl people in the mvmt who he has known for many years, attempted to reach out asking him to stop or show proof of his extreme, bizarre, and unsubstantiated claims.

We ask that all those sharing Casey Goonan's statement, first publicly posted on Instagram by Eric King on October 30th but also circulated in Signal chats prior to that, acknowledge that it contains false information about our collective.

We ask that you redirect attention to political prisoner Kojo Sababu, and encourage people to continue supporting him, reading and listening to his words, and writing to him.

UPDATE: We now have proof from Kojo Sababu that funds raised from Eric King's workshop with us in May successfully reached him. With support from @nationaljericho, we arranged for the pending funds that remained in our Chuffed fundraiser to be earmarked for Kojo's imminently needed legal defense.

I see a lot of people speculating about how Alice died and I am asking you to...please not do that. If her family wants to share information about that on their own time, they will, but the speculation and sometimes outright conspiracy theories are actually really upsetting for them to see.

i hate LaTeX ahhhhhhhhhh

Credit to Sarah Spain for trying to parse the relationship between Project B and Sela. Beard leans pretty hard on tech entrepreneurspeak, but the quote that made me roll my eyes the hardest was: “It’s very hard for people to process what we’re trying to do.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

last night a friend told my partner that their behind the scenes stuff about movies made them more interested in movies and i think that is so nice to remember that talking about stuff we love and know a lot about can be something other people love and value in us and don’t just find annoying!!

my brother says a squirrel could call plays better than kevin patullo btw and i think we should try it

Patullo needs to walk the plank. Get a decent play caller in charge with this defense that is drowning grown men in the toilet

The Wicked marketing department is crazy for having all this wind this week too

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Am I crazy

good news it's very bad news

Fuck this shit so bad dude, I can’t believe we as a society can just move on from the fact that he committed rape. It’s infuriating

One thing that’s so frustrating living in a city center is the pervasive belief among suburbanites that your neighborhood is nothing more than a consumer experience for them and that the city should bend over backwards to ensure they can speed as fast as possible on their way to buy treats in it.

If you don't think Chase Utley is a HOFer, you don't know ball, and you should be put in a sack and beaten with hammers until you repent of your sins. Dumber than the day you were born.

Vampires two centuries or older should know at least five languages. Ignorant boors if they do not

going back in time and giving the brain worm some performance enhancing drugs or something so it can finish the job

i saw the departed for the first time one year ago and since then i’ve been asking people if they’ve seen the departed because it’s really good

you could put Dark Knight and Departed on a back to back 24 hour loop and it would be the most popular cable channel of all time

Xzavier Gregory was shot and killed Oct. 11 near Northeast Philadelphia High. His parents want the city to know the vibrant teen behind the headline. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/crime/xzavie...

If they were gonna burn down a house with Josh Shapiro in it, this should have been the one

“As people suffer, “our city leaders are handing out tax breaks to corporations,” he said. “Philadelphia City Council is accelerating a crisis that’s already pushing poor and working people to the brink. We need them to act now — not for big business, but for the families that struggle to survive.””

Chase Utley played in the perfect era for defensive metrics to adulate him...but too early for awards voters to notice. Today at The Lewsletter, I probed an alternate timeline where analytics had been part of Gold Glove voting during Utley's prime — and how that would change his Hall of Fame story.

happy birthday to martin scorsese and his three movies i’ve seen that i enjoyed very much

Rare but interesting case where a pro Israel think tanker says out loud that the official appendages of the Lebanese state aren't actually allowed to do anything against Israel, even symbolically, or else that's "going rogue".

I'll go first. Here's all the ways your boat could get fucked up trying to get from Long Island Sound to Manhattan back in the day

JOSH SHAPIRO went to this opening to meet the netflix CEO because josh shapiro is an enormous loser. also this whole thing sounds horrible. netflix needs to go bankrupt.

White folks always wanna forgive and welcome racists. This is why they never did what they had legal steps to do to the damn Confederates; the law very clearly says what to do with treasonous traitors. Instead, they welcomed them right back as if nothing happened. That’s why we’re where we are now

This is stupid as shit. Dems probably be believing strippers actually like them.

We all have that one ex who is super embarrassing so okay fine, but there is not enough money in the world to make me write a book about and put my name on it

Man, who could have seen this com... Everyone. We all saw this coming. What are we even doing here?

reminder: Chicago axed a $1m pilot program to shovel sidewalks for the elderly and disabled because we "couldn't afford it"

it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen

If I had found myself attracted to RFK Jr I would enter a nunnery and take a vow of silence
