Mike Love should buy the name
I've just signed this and if you're in Canada you should, too! This is an official petition to the House of Commons, all personal information collected (it's not much) is secure. Queer creators deserve to make a living at their craft and customers deserve to exercise their own discretion.
The coverage of this has been extremely weird like Western media just gloating “look at this crazy Chinese man and his wacky ideas.”
A testament to how fucking annoying Morrissey must be to deal with.
High on the list of massive dipshits that convinced people he’s a genius. Jordan Peterson level loser.
For many years, Donald Trump has expressed his admiration of Rodrigo Duterte’s genocidal drug war in the Philippines which has killed up to 30,000 poor people without trial. Trump knows that unleashing extrajudicial killings in the drug war is the fastest way to normalize murder with impunity.🧵
Helllll yeah
STEBAN, THE STUDENT COMMUNIST - “In dark times, should the stars also go out?”
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

lmao YouTube just recommended a video by Ben Burgis discussing why “Jodi Dean is wrong about neofeudalism” and I would rather set myself on fire (Ben is one of the worst political “theorists” of the past decade, Jodi is one of the most important)
I wrote about how three events in 1996 - the Telecom Act, Welfare Reform Act, & "Changing Highbrow Taste" article - signal the beginning of the end of taste www.its-her-factory.com/2025/09/1996...
This is Manslaughter at the very least.
He was definitely just misquoting the Star Trek thing right?
Any moment now
I love this essay: The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction — Ursula K Le Guin theanarchistlibrary.org/mirror/u/uk/...
In celebration of Werner Herzog winning the GOLDEN LION at the opening of the Venice film Festival here are his 24 rules for filmmakers. What's great is that they can apply to any creative project.
Spooky
Wait what the fuck
Is Giuliani an antimeme? Do people just forget him as soon as they can’t see him? @qntm.org can we get a ruling on this?
Alex Cox rules
Cape Cod Demon Hunters sounds like a really bad YouTube paranormal investigation channel

They tossing his body parts out.
every pic of trump looks like this now
Happy Labor Day, comrades
Your Party should be considered DOA unless @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social and @zarahsultana.bsky.social expel him. Homophobia orTransphobia is a red line.
Big flaw in your plan is nobody on this website knows what jokes are
Jan Potocki’s The Manuscript Found in Saragossa predates The Scarlet Letter by 35 years but I’m sure there are also earlier examples than that.
Hollywood needs to completely collapse and the film industry needs to become 500 different regional/local film scenes/nation states
It’s so funny how hard they have commentary pushing how good Logan Paul is.
It’s like every spoken word on WWE tv is a calculated marketing gimmick instead of an expression of character and storyline.
Just turned on the preshow for Clash in Paris because I like to suffer and the first thing I hear is Sheamus doing his “banger after banger” catchphrase and immediately turned it back off, WWE needs to stop making every promo 85% catchphrases, it’s unwatchable.
One thing about anticommunists is that they are some of the stupidest people you will ever come across.

says a lot about the supposed democracy index that the united states ranked higher than canada before trump returned to power despite its shambles of a democratic system where corruption is legal and political parties openly draw the districts so they win. canada isn’t perfect, but come on.
Doesn’t get as much acclaim as it deserves
It’s a material condition of power and exploitation.
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

It’s an all timer. (Have you ever heard The Walkmen’s cover? I might like it as much as R.E.M.’s)
Babak Lakghomi and Shane Jesse Christmass both come to mind immediately.
So. Central Rain Driver 8 Bang and Blame
Oh yeah those are special features on the dvd too, I love them
I checked the website constantly when it came out.
Legitimate masterpiece
They think everything is just a diversion it’s so fucking weird
Being the funniest person on the internet for more than a decade is incredible.
This was a *very* fun interview about the intersection of climate, econ, ecology and games...
The's fact there was an editorial decision to not mention the fact he was *checks notes* an unabashed Nazi, should raise eyebrows.
I’ve needed to make this for a bit- but here’s a thread of people who are being forced out of Gaza City- a lot of people living in Gaza City have been in bombed out buildings so they don’t have tents and also they need transportation. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
gavin newsom today deployed militarized divisions of the california highway patrol to reinforce and extend the violent crack downs trump has been implementing. he is actively expanding trump's authoritarian program totally voluntarily.
I picked up the new one today and am pretty into it so far.
Hyperstition baybeee
Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low likelihood, study finds
I should probably try to finish the short story I’ve been writing about It Happening before It Actually happens
Watched it tonight and it rules

CM Punk reading this and googling “protests near me”
It rules that one of the “best” ideas Democrats have had to “oppose” Trump is giving him a nickname that mocks him for backing down on atrocious policies like tariffs and bombing North Korea and Afghanistan.
“Hamas” has been a thought terminating argument for three and a half decades at this point. No one who wants to blame this genocide on Hamas has any interest in actually confronting the reality and history of Israel as a genocidal settler colony. They’re deeply unserious people.
Babyyyy
The Toxic Avenger is clearing medical debt as marketing for the movie.
They would still hate and want to destroy trans life.
This is maybe the most explicitly Nazi shit they’ve done yet. Nazis literally burned trans research.
lmao Democrats really do just want their own Trump
We have to understand structural adjustment, with its forced privatisation and dismantling of public provisioning systems across the South, as mass-scale dispossession and a transfer of wealth from the world’s working classes directly into the hands of international capital.
Presidents do love to go on vacation to be fair
Like, it’s okay to admit you don’t understand the basics of Marxist critique without reducing it to “quasi religious oversimplification” or whatever. There are books you can read. Podcasts you can listen to even, if books are too intense for you.
What no materialist dialectic does to a mf
(This is directed at myself.)
VFX amateur tip: Deciding to add even basic VFX to shots that were not originally meant to have them is extremely stupid and no matter how good the trackers in the software you are using are you are an idiot for even attempting to do this.
why should the government take over a shitty company that can’t even build good cars?
The constant sound effects from people subscribing and doing other shit, the hosts constantly being distracted by whatever stupid shit the chat has to say, it’s a nightmare.
One of my favourite wrestling podcasts is just a recorded twitch stream and it would be so much better if it wasn’t.
Twitch streams are one of the worst contemporary forms of entertainment.
know I’m a hater at heart because even people I like and/or agree with annoy the shit out of me like 60% of the time.
Lmao
Your first day trying to think?
This is just how these fucking ghouls operate. When they’re in power they tell you how important it is to do the atrocities and do them well, then when they’re out of power act like they want to stop the atrocities. That’s the entirety of Democratic foreign policy.
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
Are Kenny and Kota even poly?
Please be aware and stay vigilant out there 🚨
One of the most frustrating things about how so much of US politics gets framed is the idea that these are people who just don’t realize how bad certain policies are, rather than people who support bad policies.
