ABC News: “Subway service disrupted on many lines due to various issues during evening rush hour”

I don’t know why but I really like this headline

words filled a book
bombs filled a school gymnasium

“Slurs filled a chat” is a beaut

there’s a wasian Instagram guy who makes little videos where he identifies a “wasian of the week” celebrity and then looks it up and finds out they’re just Jewish and it keeps happening and ngl it’s pretty funny

It’s funny cause he was actually talking about “consciousness hygiene” (clinical, sterile) but in my mind it ended up all lush and leafy, possibly bc I was thinking about his writing about food?

I mean, I fully intend to and feel weirdly grateful to Michael Pollan for touching off the train of thought. I’m filling my mind with vines and lush foliage!

I skimmed an article about Michael Pollan’s new book and thought he was comparing consciousness to a garden and proceeded to get very into the idea of cultivating my consciousness garden, only to realize that I fully misread a word or seven and kinda made that whole thing up

‘The camera is my weapon of choice’: Gordon Parks’ era-defining shots of segregation – and those who defied it The visionary photographer captured the ugliness of racism in America, as well as the strength and dignity of those who opposed it – from cleaners in the corridors of power to Martin Luther King Jr pr...

It was such a pleasure to interview attorney Bryan Stevenson about the photography of Gordon Parks as he curates a new showing in London.

His vivid and intimate colour images from 1956, showing the daily disgrace of the segregated South, remain extremely pertinent to this day:

My parents called me and my siblings Eurasian when we were growing up. And my sister and I liked it bc Armistead Maupin wrote that all Eurasians are beautiful in tales of a city. I’ve only come across wasian in online spaces but it does seem to have legs with the younguns

satire

Right? Like wasian is obviously a derivative term that evolved out of blasian, no? I feel strongly that blasian well predates wasian

Oooh thank you!!!

will never stop being incredible to me that the son of a lawyer (and grandson of an architect) who went to hotchkiss (hotchkiss!) gets graded on a curve cause he’s “working class”

in england, instead of "canny" they say "lavish"

lol

a geopolitical crime spree

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.
