I'll never be good at chess

Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward. Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

That hat is sick as hell. I need one.

This episode correctly predicts the vibe of the obama era collapsing and for all its vocal admirers and guest politicians in its later seasons the show didn’t actually teach them to be any more effective, they just pretended it was pure fiction and not the exact scenario they were actively living in

Thinking about ancient times. The old ways. The bedrock of the internet.

When a mutual from X doesn’t follow you on Bsky:

I will believe BlueSky has reached critical mass and become a genuine alternative to Twitter when 70% of the posts on my feed stop being about Twitter.

my 65 year old father just brought up to me unprompted that he’s very angry to see democrats trying to throw trans people under the bus in response to the election and i just really hope this is an accurate reflection of the broader response to this bullshit

If you’re curious, this week—like every week—is an excellent time to write sad, panicked stories about real life disguised as weird, speculative stories about something strange and terrifying that bears no resemblance to reality but still screams with the same mouth.

Just got a library card from my local branch, and highly recommend you do the same if you don't have one. You can watch movies, read ebooks, do research, and use equipment that you would have to pay for anywhere else. In case you need a reminder!

the thing that drives me so nuts whenever people try to push just buying a gun as a safety solution is that statistically we know having a gun in the house makes you LESS SAFE! there is nothing about a gun that is Safe, it is a dangerous weapon that should not be taken lightly!!!

ONE FALSE MOVE is on Prime Video and it’s a must-watch. An unfortunately timely film about race, violence, police, and the fragile myth of American heroism. Be warned, this is a gnarly one.

“ALL QUEER PEOPLE SHOULD BUY GUNS TO STAY SAFE” girl some gay ppl don’t even cook with raw meat because they’re scared of doing it wrong, are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you want ALL of us to own GUNS???

The arc of history is long and it bends off to the side a bit, it’s always been like that and history would prefer you not mention it because it makes them a bit self-conscious.

You know it's a fucked up day when people start sharing poems.

The women’s baths in Pompeii have been designed to be much more “feminine” than the men’s. The colours are softer & there are flowers & birds painted all over the walls. 2000 years ago, some messy bitch rather ruined the aesthetic by scrawling this on the wall. Brava, unknown Roman lady. Brava.

Spreading the word on Twitter

This was supposed to go out on the front porch but she’s decided it’s her new best friend and won’t let it out of her sight. Fuck.

Time to check up on this place.

TURN!!! IT!!! OFF!!!

The media industry is in a state of self-created chaos. The studios want you to believe it is an anomaly. Instead, it's part of an age-old cycle. The REAL reason film history matters... www.patreon.com/posts/888799...

@filmcrithulk.bsky.social Hello! I really enjoy your writing on film analysis and you’ve lead me to other great film writers. I wanted to know if there are any literature analysis writers who you would recommend. I don’t trust booktok and I want to learn from people well-versed in the medium.

this is bar none the coolest lego set i’ve ever seen/had the pleasure of building

Some people are too corny and earnest and some people are too 2014 Twitter irony pilled. Me? I’m the perfect balance.

Starting to remember why summer is when my seasonal depression kicks in. This heat is miserable

Platforms are reluctant to admit that they are making editorial choices. I’ll put it this way: you don’t have to be a fancy spot with a dress code, but if people know it’s ok to shit on the floor in your establishment you’re going to get a lot of floor shitters and other customers will go elsewhere.

If you're enjoying Bluesky and you don't want it to turn into the cesspool of hate that Twitter did, you best speak up now. Cut that 'I don't know what to say' shit out and amplify Black and queer voices, because the BS team ain't listening to us.

FUCK THE VIBE IF MY BLACK FRIENDS CANT VIBE TOO.
