Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Being on social media is fine but if itâs getting in the way of you doing deep reading and deep thinking, then your balance of how you spend your time is off Lots of interesting threads here and none of them are a substitute for reading a good book or essay
No joke. Homeschooling should be illegal.
The thing about Robert E Lee is he should have been executed in front of the gutted husk of a torched Virginia plantation mansion, and that should have been his official portrait, and we should have put it on our money.
wow
excited to start my next library book - i think it was recommended by a user here but i can't remember who! How To Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States by Daniel Immerwahr
hope you can enjoy the day and get some good rest and relaxation in!
week 3 - not too much time for stitching this week because the semester just started back up. i'm enjoying the long weekend though.
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthenâs monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
âBlack women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period⊠Ms. Roy said that with the exception of the pandemic, Black women have never seen such staggering losses in employmentâ
Medical science: Ahaha we have invented tens of thousands of life improving and saving medications ahaha we are unstoppable Grapefruit:
âThey knocked out one of my teeth. They messed up my knees. They messed up my ribs.â Now free, the Venezuelan men the Trump administration sent to El Salvador want the world to know what they lived through.
ICE is holding a man with both physical and developmental disabilities, who doesnât understand or speak English, and who is nearly deaf at a detention facility in Washington State. Inhumane doesnât begin to describe it. We can and must be better. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
life take trump?
trump take life
what's the rule? no white people after Labor Day?
âYou have to let us break the law or we will be embarrassedâ is not a good legal argument
Because they don't see them as hobbies through the process of which joy is created, they see them as arduous processes which rewards one with goods, acclaim, and success at the end. They're not trying to acquire a new hobby, they're trying to optimize the time and labor out of a productive process.
"His mother told NBC4 that the agent told her son they had confused him with someone else, but to âlook at the bright side: youâre gonna have an exciting story to tell your friends when you go back to schoolâ." WTF www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled
FORTUNATELY, for everyone we have a fun way to tell your House rep that you think Bobby Jr is a quack and has to go⊠For $3 we will hand deliver (by a man in a duck costume) a rubber ducky with a message to âimpeach the quackâ to your rep! QUACK-O-GRAMS! act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...
just this one thing and iâll start going to church again
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Our dog is doing physical therapy, and the photos theyâre sending us make him look like a Far Side character.
Per Univision, this is what happened on 8/27 at Alligator Alcatraz (1/2)
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteranâs paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.
and she replied!!! i'm not even trying to be a kissass type of student, i'm just so eager to nerd out!
i emailed my professor just trying to make a connection (which feels difficult in online classes sometimes) and telling her how excited i am for the course....
my intro to epidemiology professor is so cool đ i've been looking forward to this class since last fall, when i came back to college
i don't know what this current variant of covid is like, but i hope they're able to rest up and feel better soon!
this is a really good point and makes me feel a tiny bit better. i wonder if they feel a burning embarrassment or bitterness at being a photo op for tourists, or if this feels acceptable/like a "sure, why not?" to them.
Buying anything from overseas is about to get more expensive, more logistically complicated, slower, and overall more annoying. Film photography community, retro games community, people into skincare already seeing chaos on eBay. eBay sellers locking US buyers out. www.404media.co/trump-tariff...
need people to stop making technology inspired by Star Trek (smooth, sleek, no buttons, all screen, voice activation, extremely minimal, wireless) and start making technology inspired by Star Wars (clunky buttons, indicator lights on everything, ugly, indestructible, fat cables that emit steam)
"According to GVA, 97.7 percent of mass shootings through 2021 were perpetrated by non-trans men, which means, over that period, you were nearly 43x more likely to be killed by a man who is not transgender than a perpetrator of any other gender identity."
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
When a top CDC scientist resigns citing eugenicist rhetoric from federal health agencies, everyone should absolutely be paying attention.
Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenariosâthe government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communitiesâliterally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives
This isnât bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.
Six months ago. I meant it. Do it now if you havenât.
I think the state should decline to bail out any of these rural hospitals.
Always read @briangaar.bsky.social: As journalists, weâre not just here to document Texasâ decline into a right-wing fever dream, but to remind you that democracy, decency, and reality still matter. thebarbedwire.com/2025/08/26/t...
This is a slow-burner of a story that's going to bubble up, because it's going to start annoying a lot of Americans when they can't get stuff delivered any moreâŠ
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Pritzker exhorts the news media to "tell it like it is:" "Donald Trump wants to use the U.S. Military to occupy a U.S. city, punish his dissidents and score political points." "Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here."
People underestimate joy as a political resource. It pisses off all the right people & allows us to move toward practically imaginative solutions.Itâs powerful to say, as Mamdani does&others should,I love these people/this place&weâre going to make it thrive.Political version of twirling on haters.
I cannot stress enough how incredibly vulnerable the U.S is to a disastrous response should a significant outbreak of an infectious disease emerge. I actually lose sleep over this. This article is an alarming read. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
folks, we are decomposing, and we are decomposing more than ever before. the media won't say it, but there's never been a president with such beautiful necrosis
Co-signed times a thousand. âOther people have no interiorityâ is, fundamentally, a deeply evil belief to hold which will lead you exclusively to terrible places
HAPPENING NOW: At 2:00 p.m. ET, Judge Paula Xinis is set to hold a telephone conference regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's newly-filed lawsuit challenging his removal to Uganda. Abrego was detained by ICE earlier today. I plan to live-post the hearing for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along âŹïžđ§”
nothing can prepare you for the images attached downthread
grocery prices? going way WAY up next month. i had to increase retail on cans of ground coffee beans yesterday. i kid you not, the Maxwell House ones went up $15 entire dollars PER unit. if you got it for $14.99 yesterday, is it literally double that today. it's about to get ugly(er)
Good lord
week 2 - another week of progress! as previously mentioned i started using a Nurge hoop this past week - this is definitely my preferred way of stitching now. way less fiddly than Q snaps and easier to get my piece into than a regular tension embroidery hoop.
may the best worm win
"For 2026, ACA marketplace insurers have proposed eye-popping ... prices: In New York, UnitedHealthcare has proposed a 66.4% rise."
The Japanese editions of BETRAYING BIG BROTHER: The Feminist Awakening in China just arrived! My book has now been translated into Italian, Korean, Portuguese and Japanese. The New York Public Library named Betraying Big Brother one of its âessential reads on feminismâ: bookshop.org/p/books/betr...
Gov. Pritzker: "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the U.S. federalizing the Illinois National Guard." "Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."
a reminder
i'm in texas but i have the same sentiment... i hope i can attend grad school in a blue state. i hope we get out eventually.
I donât really think that thereâs any difference between calling human beings âNPCsâ or calling them cockroaches or âhuman animalsâ or any other classic rhetoric of dehumanization and I find it pretty worrying that people who are otherwise concerned with respectability have adopted its use
I love how we can just vaguely talk about the day it happens and everyone knows exactly what you mean
ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo đ
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Has it occurred to any liberal concerned about polarization or our era of heightened political tensions that conservatives literally show zero concern at all except as a means to scold liberals?
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.
my roommate was trying to find the menu for a nearby bagel shop and instead found some of the most iconic slop I've ever seen. thanks food! :)
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
âThen they came for Cracker BarrelâŠâ
narcolepsy achievement unlocked: dozed off 4 times during a 3 hour dental appt. while they were doing my fillings!!!!!
Here, fixed it.
i see recruiting is going great
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
have never clicked a headline so fast www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Determined to bring this number back up, by myself if necessary! Reading literature is one of the great, everlasting pleasures of life, and the backbone to my remaining sanity...
Personally I love to pick up items and put them in my inventory. Sometimes you just really know that you shouldn't discard an item because you'll need it later.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: âSilence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it isâŠStop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.â
WASHINGTON (AP) â National Guard troops from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana have begun arriving in Washington.
Pretty illustrative that the GOP is treating a black woman legislator as both a child and a prisoner.
It's wild to see "Never let them take you to a second location" play out publicly against elected Black representatives while people go about their lives, but this is EXACTLY why Rep. Nicole Collier refused to normalize her own captivity.
My name is Graham Platner and Iâm running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy thatâs destroying our country. Iâm a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer whoâs seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
apparently itâs âcome out swingingâ week for midterm hopefuls, excellent
This is absolutely wild. #txlege
SCOOP â Members of DC National Guard are preparing to carry M17 pistols, multiple sources confirm to me. This follows earlier reports that the guard reversed course and would soon be arming members in DC. Now we know theyâre making sure they meet requirements if/when the order to arm them comes.
Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night on the House floor after refusing to agree âto round-the-clock monitoring by state troopersâ www.keranews.org/texas-news/2...
Iâm concerned that people wonât appreciate how big a line is being crossed here. Texas is suspending basic Constitutional freedoms for opposition lawmakers. This isnât dipping your toe in the authoritarian waters, itâs diving head first into the deep end. This is big league authoritarianism.
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.
week 1 - experimenting with different ways to tension my aida. i got Q snaps for this project and quickly realized i hated them - unwieldy, awkward, and a constant readjusting of my fabric. i got nurge hoops delivered today and i'm hoping the experience will be more comfortable.
