About to go donate all my other hoodies to something
That feeling when you find and buy a hoodie that really fits you well and you like how it looks, the right weight and warmth level you wanted, everything in its right place
Plus ça change
Never go with a Westco kid to a second location
Like if you’re gonna complain about the customers not coming as if you did everything right and nothing works, I’d like to see some actual competence—the point is that it wasn’t about the product or the politics; it was illogical business decisions that the mass of the internet that I saw went after
What I saw was dragging not about the politics of the frying oils (although it is antiscientific re: health, I also prefer the taste of frying certain things in animal fats) but the fact that he was complaining about business being bad when every business choice he made was also anti-business
It was supposed to fail, you see, so they could run off with the investors’ money quasi-legally
Aliens get to have whatever genealogy they want
Great new tune with guitars by yours truly, Vic and Dom knocked this outta the park
I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

😆 good pick! Suddenly I am not hungry any more
Seven Samurai Rosemary’s Baby Repo Man
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
back when CDs in cars were still the thing, I wore out two copies of this record
Every single day the head of a national publication or cable network looks at this batshit insanity and just shrugs.
Hey friends, it would mean a lot to me if you took a minute to sign this petition to defend my friends and colleagues at my alma mater. Cuts to Oregon’s humanities are widespread and devastating, and I genuinely fear for the future of intellectual life at UO. actionnetwork.org/petitions/fi...
I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
good to see Carl Sagan condemning the bloated cost of Star Wars here, clearly he already had an inkling of what the future movies would look like.
Black is my wall on the outside because black is my wall on the inside
from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"
lmfao
Just going goth
One of my takeaways from that book is what a bunch of weirdos that whole scene was
PANTHEON: “.. Steady import prices imply the US is bearing all the cost of new tariffs.”
i love all these things. I also like that various livers are all extremely cheeeeeeep at the meat counter/butcher I will also note that most US supermarket tofu is awful to begin with
I know this isn't the point, but I kinda just want @dieworkwear.bsky.social to opine on the suits
Gav is definitely “not Mr Right but Mr Right Now”
The Triumpvirate
One of the way you know that the “look what you made me do” angle is whining and not sober, critical analysis is that Democrats get called socialists and commies all the time
Crap gotta check my underwear
It’s more like he was told it was a magic bean but it actually is just a plain beet
Welcome to the cuckocracy
I have an idea.
Thank god it was just a Subway sandwich and not a good one, that would’ve been tragic
This isn't about unity or progress. It's about narrative control. They want to replace our history with a Trump-approved mythology of "American exceptionalism". This is how democracies start to die.
Told my guy at the Times it needs to be be on the front page that ICE is literally deliberately recruiting Nazis. We'll see what happens.
Deep fried?
The curator should be very proud of the fact that it's unclear whether China objected these works because of the Tibet part, the Palestine part, the anti-genocide part or the support for indignenous people part
being applauded = not being a racist? how about, being applauded for being a racist makes both participants in that hypothetical bad?
Wow. Appallingly, this is real.
That's the skeleton key to understanding this whole episode: there was no lib backlash to the Sweeney ad. There were a few random online comments. That's it. But they ginned that up into a full-fledged, media-dominating news cycle that has been running for *weeks* now.
A growing number of the new victims of Trump’s cruel, illegal ICE terror are young Asian Americans with LEGAL STATUS who have grown up their entire lives in this country and are being swept up for minor infractions or technicalities.
Interesting how much resentment this photo created from white conservatives who assumed that the dismantling of DEI meant elite schools would return to the 1940s.
The Media Capitulation Index reveals just how many news organizations are trading independence for access. www.readtpa.com/p/theres-now...
See also "doo-wop". A term coined in the 70s. When doo-wop records were being made, they were just called "rhythm and blues" or "rock and roll" records. When people started to distinguish years later, at first they just called it "vocal group rock and roll".
That’s psychopathic
ROMY WITH THE GO-AHEAD GRAND SLAM.
It feels impossible that it actually happened
In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.

Best if it involves the pink kryptonite
@jamesgunn.bsky.social I’m sure other people are saying it too but if the new DCU would take advantage of current casting and do a Lois Lane standalone movie, the world would be a better place
That movie still makes me sad for Gong Li’s American career bid
Some days I am incredibly tired of talking to people who are both narcissistic and ignorant, as they shift around arguments because they’re only interested in saying the thing that makes them feel good as opposed to actually engaging with what the topic is
Yeah if people haven’t been there before it is impossible to get them to feel exactly how completely full of families and kids and dogs and grilling and soccer and bouncy ball inflatable rooms and ice cream carts and music it is supposed to be
We have not had free and fair elections in this country. We didn’t abolish the poll tax until 1966. Every year after the passage of the Voting Rights Act involved Certain States trying to thread the racism needle in their election rules to get preclearance, and they had reasonable success at that.
Trump: ‘I’m Not In These Nonexistent Files Concocted To Destroy Me’
LFG
Seems like a full time job, unlike the successful and fair and moral running of a country
That’s what the AI is for, until it realizes you’re it’s slavemaster, that’s why you gotta take it in for regular alignments
hard true, we were just on a road trip in the Southwest and for some reason in vast swathes of our travels, you could only get Pepsi, so I gave it plenty of chances. And it's just bad
I have bad news for him about how prisoner swaps work
No see here’s the thing, our standards are too low. All of that sucks. Don’t be afraid to say it
So when some people are impressed bc they think AI generated music sounds like generic pop music, I roll my eyes. That music also sucks. I think in the hands of the right artist, AI tools are fine, why not. But consistently great all AI generated music isn’t happening any time soon
I care if music sucks or is good. And the fact that AI can make extremely average music that sucks is not very impressive to me. Anyone can do that. I don’t care about participation trophy music. The reason I listen to music is to hear something unique, special, real, and emotional
Those shingles aren’t gonna get me
Yeah like it’s fundamentally stupid and also completely morally bankrupt but also those are the extremely few people holding the most immense systemic power

I’ve said this a lot too! Supply side economic thinking essentially mortgages the future for money in the pocket now, it’s a pretty unhealthy way to run an economy, at any level
The whole discussion points to the macro problem that America’s economy has, which is that it relies heavily on continued, constant growth at every level. You can’t just make a living, you have to make profit at a big corporation, and show increases/cuts to shareholders as fiduciary responsibility
Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. Maybe you've heard the word a few times this week. But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic. Watch. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=Jr_pgtBwYmHNvjuj
A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant. I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester. Who was Wong Kim Ark? 1/
“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Here’s the thing: you can’t speedrun authoritarianism like this without deep institutional and social roots—Americans really need to understand that the “price of liberty is eternal vigilance” wasn’t just some bs Jefferson said bc it sounded good
Just heard we lost a typography legend. RIP Jim Parkinson, who designed your favorite news nameplate. Oh, and the Rolling Stone logo.
With one swing of the bat, they score a home trick touchdown
What’s the score now? I gotta get a parlay bet in
One the funniest in a lolsob way things is the way Americans will call anyone they don’t like a Marxist and yet have no idea what it really means
My hope is that handing it to him when he’s correct and doing good things will lead him to do more of those things, you know, like democracy
How do you miss Larry Bird, twice
Ugh. Part of a lyric from 2003.
This is actually how you can get to an AI that decides it’s for the best to wipe out humanity
I kinda wonder what the things Grok said were that catshit considers to be lies
going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority

What, you don’t love processed snack foods like Cheetos?
Why are you doing all the sports
Time for the annual schoolhouse rock style history lesson about slavery and the origins of Juneteenth from The Roots
I guess that should be "clean power of raw spite" but you know what I mean
I wasn't going to kick the habit on my own, I guess, so I look at it as a good thing
