You Don't Need to Log off, You Need to Become Sensual The digital world the wealthy are creating is designed to detach us from our bodies

Wrote about the radical act of returning to one's body in a digital age designed to detach us from them.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.

The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

How We Brought Respectful Debate Back to The Harvard Crimson’s Editorial Board

To us, the solution is deceptively simple. Universities should create environments where students with different views must talk to one another routinely and establish ground rules that ensure they do so without distractions or prejudgment. Illiberalism on college campuses isn’t inevitable. At The Crimson, it took only a few months to radically improve.

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.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

The way it works is that you strip fundamental rights from targets with less political support that people will turn their consciences off to justify persecuting and then eventually the state can do it to anyone, that’s always been the plan bsky.app/profile/pbum...

the love of your life is not on the apps.

the love of your life is on broad street and will be getting into a verbal argument with a police horse within the next six hours.

Photo of a kid on his dad’s shoulders during the eagles parade, with skywrighting that says “thx birds!”

not to oversell it, but I do think that parades, festivals, parties in the street with you neighbors, are really what it’s all about

if the eagles parade falls on valentine's day, how many people do we think are gonna get engaged on broad street?

I recently got a bucket hat so I wanted to give them bucket hats too

Chaotic doodling of many eagles

in honor of the game today, here are some of my favorite bird drawings of late

(every eagles game me and my friends draw birds, and try to get everyone at the bar to draw them with us)

will probably start drawing around 5:30 today - get your requests in now

Screenshot from a YouTube video called “meet the zoomers aiding Musk’s government takeover” with the screen caption reading “website lists his interests as utilitarianism”

how much of our societal decay can be attributed to people having no idea what a hobby is?

A screenshot of a text conversation that reads: Me: Okay is this anything? the only way to fix the fact that politics has become “sports for nerds” is to give nerds our own sport. we need to get puzzle hunts on ESPN make a movie about puzzle hunts and have Trent Reznor do the score get a generation of young men hooked on puzzle hunt betting leagues you get it Response: Is everything okay at home? Me: lmao

Screenshot of the lyrics to Incendiary’s song “the product is you” that read “What's it going to take to fucking change If these habits are ingrained? When everything comes apart gradually We ignore what comes to us naturally If you don't know what the product is The product is you If you don't know where the money is The profit's growing huge”

as I was saying

A business card sized piece of paper looks like an iPhone. It looks like the screen where someone is calling. A horseshoe crab is on the line for you. This is stuck in a street pole

Helloooo? Horseshoe crab is that you?

people should be allowed to leave work early if they want to go see a movie.

I think antitrust is not enough to deal with the tech industry. We need - and I know this era isn't one where we get it - a digital EPA, with quality standards for apps/digital services with personal liability for executives and real, meaningful mechanisms to force companies to stop hurting people.
