Fuck.

rad shit sitting on my hard drive serves nobody, so here's a cover from Screaming Females legend/one of the best guitarists alive, Marissa Paternoster, for a project called DIRTBAG WEEKEND me and @felipecunha.bsky.social have been trying to get made

Hahahahahahahaha

For me, it's coloring sunsets or different color skies in backgrounds.

Just right out in the open, he doesn't fucking care.

You know, I really wish I had a rudeometer that could tell me, incorrectly, when someone was being rude to someone else. Bluesky devs with a list of good features to work on: MOVE IT TO THE TOP OF THE PILE!

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Here's how to turn off Bluesky's censorship settings, so you can see posts by people you follow, even if Bluesky thinks they're rude. You can customize the controls on quite a bit more than the Rude label, even.

I love how Richard Pryor has no problem just letting Dick Cavett dig himself deeper with that line of questioning. When he already answered the question. Just write for him as a human not as a monolithic "black voice". It often takes a long time for white allies to understand the difference.

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

This news cycle is about to get awful because no one in this country is capable of talking about them as anything other than a weight loss medication because we're broken and fucked up, but I'm watching folks I like say just horrifying shit right now.

Correct! They aren't just weight loss drugs!

To be clear the Republicans are killing an FCC rule requiring your ISP be clear about all the bullshit fees they add to your monthly cable and broadband bill to rip you off, usually via false advertising. " So "confusing" isn't really the word I'd use.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Caring... It's not my thing.

While some of it wasn't for me, i did enjoy reading this.

Been reading the John Byrne FF for a bit, and it is quintessential Byrne that he spends about two years of real world time on stories where Sue is mentally tortured to justify the "I am the Invisible *Woman*" bit instead of going "it's 1985 and Invisible *Girl* is a bad name for a grown woman."

Southend-On-Sea, by Charles Pears, 1932.

How did you get your mindset? Alfred Hitchcock in his slow droll voice: "I think my mother scared me when I was three years old. She said "Boo." www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHek...

My god, I'm reading more about the Black Death and this was shocking "the Mongol Golden Horde army of Jani Beg—whose mainly Tatar troops were suffering from the disease—catapulted infected corpses over the city walls of Kaffa to infect the inhabitants." Talk about horror.

Just finished Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. This was a book that I had to be in the right mood for as I started and stopped it several times previously. Once I got into it properly it was wonderful though.

"In much of medieval Europe, sanitation legislation consisted of an ordinance requiring homeowners to shout, "Look out below!" three times before dumping a full chamber pot into the street."

This made me laugh

Very exciting to see activists launching a new nonprofit today to keep building on the community of volunteers that came together to get Mamdani elected. Our Time is a 501(c)(4) and plans to start events in December.

I feel seen

Probably my favorite shelf of the bookcase:

Good morning, Bluesky Synch by Cory Smith #xmen

Dick Cavett is one of the best interviewers that I've ever seen. I've been really loving watching his shows on YouTube lately.

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

I just found out I'm on this starter pack and i gotta say, I'm honored that i was able to make anyone feel this way. go.bsky.app/FucWT1X

🎶"Every single candidate Trump endorsed lost last night."🎶

Do you think they did this because he got lost?

Wow, the story on Wikipedia is crazy. She wouldn't marry so her parents left her behind. She swam out to the boat, her father cut her fingers off and she sank to the bottom of the ocean. Her severed fingers becoming sea mammals.

A great description of discord

I always forget how glorious Christopher's Krakoa homage piece is. Takes my breath away every time.

"If Democrats want to continue winning, they need to run moderates and liberals both, say both Charlotte Alter and Ezra Klein. / X, The New York Times" This could not be any more wrong.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

AOC: We know that Donald Trump has not only been convicted of committing crimes, but that the supreme court has given him a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office. So we cannot underestimate the threat and the danger of this moment. But we cannot respond to that with cowardice.
