Zodiac or silence of the lambs?
Is there a bluesky for substack? I say against the comfort of a padded wall in the real world
I dunno, man. Didn’t see any Chinese government officials getting Cracker Barrel to change their logo back
I spent two days with Platner and, as you’ll read, was as impressed by his theory of power as I was by his policies. I think it’s FAR more important than the “how do you talk to Trump voters” question.
Fuck yeah terence
I’m thinking of writing an article, “This Thing Used To Be Better,” think there’s an audience for that kinda thing?

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.
This is the best episode of Blank Check.
It’s the best podcast ep ever released, folks
I assume we’re all posting the sickos pic
Millennials, man
Perhaps someone who might say something such as “do not go in there”
What else fell off —> comedy movies where the main character is someone who might make someone like the Maître’d at a fancy restaurant go 😱
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
Been trying to remember that movie for approximately 25 years, thank you 👍

Debate club needs to die
anyway the choice america faces going forward is live in the confederacy or do reconstruction for real and purge those motherfuckers from all of public life. and there isn’t really an in-between.
as hard as it is to imagine political solutions to the current moment, it’s even harder to imagine how we could be expected to comfortably share a society with these fucking babykillers
Existence is a curse, figure it out

Fiscal plague, information dust, piled over everyone, every one of us Stephen Malkmus said that and I keep saying “tell me about it”
But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm going crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain I got no common sense I got nobody left to believe
Everyone is so pathetic
Donald Trump was elected president in 2016 tho
they're just LYING they LIE it's all they DO there is no reality there is only LYING
there’s a phenomenon in politics where on certain issues the general public is genuinely deluded about reality, and if you don’t buy into that delusion the political media will accuse *you* of being out of touch
Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

It feels possible the “dumb” wildcard could actually trump greedy this time, but I don’t know! That’s why it’s wild!

Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician I‘ve seen.

The dumbest series of sentences yet? By a human? And yes I’m including all those others?
What about: “all are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”?
the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

I jerked him now
imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

i never realized but i want to vote for someone who says fuck these motherfuckers. like, verbatim. in a public forum. ideally frequently.
when I was 15 a friend’s older brother redid his entire iTunes library with lowercase only because capital letters “implied a hierarchy.” I rolled my eyes. Then I totally got it. Then rolled my eyes again. Then I got it again. Now I just think capitalization and punctuation make text more legible.
stop 👏 anthropomorphizing 👏 the 👏 chatbot 👏
The movie writes itself!
I’m not saying that everyone individually deserves the pain we are or will go though. But as a society we sure as hell didn’t do anything to avoid this. Especially given that he was already president once, and tried to overthrow the government to stay in power. And paid no price for it!
really nothing better than being able to entertain friends with food and drink

For all of Trump's many serious faults, hates dogs and comedy have always struck me as character defining.
democrat who runs on abolishing fox news now lets make things interesting

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Dems have never had a clearer roadmap to good policy (literally just undo trump) and I bet they still can’t find it
"Bluesky is dying" has become something of a meme due to recurring opinion pieces claiming that Bluesky is "dying", an "echo chamber", or both. Here's a quick and dirty analysis of the phenomenon.
I was so shocked when it said uploaded “six minutes ago” and not 4 years 😭
huh. that must be why Bret Stephens, a Republican, is using his New York Times column to try to prevent that mayoralty from happening: because it would be so good for Republicans

It is simply wild how much the summer of 2020 broke these people’s brains. A crazy set of circumstances set the stage for millions of Americans of all stripes to rise up and challenge systemic white supremacy and these guys decide “OK I guess the only response to this is to go full fash.”
Big Money turning to fascism not because they needed protection from socialism but because they were bored and poisoned their brains with social media is the story of this century I think
The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

Sentimentality and violence are a rotten mixture; so are childishness and cynicism. (1973)
reactionary centrists have a totally incoherent theory of politics whose primary upshot is that they validate and legitimize the far right
That's interesting. Just today Trump jumped in to stop someone from asking his AG about the Epstein files the day after he sent the military through a park in Los Angeles as a show of force a few days after he helped cut the ribbon on a concentration camp in the swamps of Florida and gutted Medicaid

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
you could say it's like an onion
by this metric non-newsworthy stories can become newsworthy if they generate enough outrage for being not newsworthy. also by this metric you could print an uncensored human asshole on the front page of the New York Times.
You were very high Youuuuuu were high 🐄
Every time the Jays win, my boobs grow larger from the massive influx of oxytocin. Godspeed boys. Godspeed.
The Times covered “left wing antisemitism” relentlessly for a year from campus protests to the presidential election to the Mamdani win in NYC, and then the president used an anti-Jewish slur in a public speech and they didn’t even mention it.
Hark! Vibes!
