Haha I’m rereading some Silmarillion to prepare 🧙🏻♂️ but I would def recommend Patternist! Especially the first two, Wild Seed and Mind of My Mind. They have some sad stuff but are mostly empowering and fun!
Is he jealous that the team has been doing so well without him? haha
This is a process that exists in British history! “Dissolving” Parliament. We literally should do that
It’s driving me batty!
The secret hero of Moore's Swamp Thing run.
it costs me $137 every time i leave the house
Something so funny about “the 25-54 demographic.” Isn’t that just…adults who have control over their TV? How many other demographics could there be
Yes! It’s why Sanders is still the most popular American politician. Even if people don’t agree with all of his ideas, they believe that he believes them and that’s worth something
Let's go
Yep
Great advice, Sean. You've done a particularly admirable job lately of cutting through the hysteria that is so omnipresent online these days
It's difficult to do esp if you've got anxiety issues but it pays to give yourself permission to melt down about things only when they are actually happening. Even amid all the extant horrors I've had several long dark nights of the soul that wound up being about nothing.
Favorite fictional political figure?
See you in Valhalla, brother...after I visit my elderly parents for the third time this month ofc
you had to be there..
Really appreciate seeing so many news items today refer to him as "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor." A helpful reminder that these unelected monarchs are human beings subject to human laws, not Disney characters
Truly the public is not furious enough.
Love to be at a party in a large mansion then wander off to explore and find a room with an unusual piece of art only to be startled by the mansion’s owner behind me saying “it’s one of my most interesting pieces”.
Seeing this more and more
real inside llewyn davis type weather in nyc these days
She has learned lessons from experience! Which distinguishes her from many establishment D's. Like them she thought she had to run left and govern right, but that anti-abortion judge getting shut down proved not. She took the opp w/ Zohran to renounce her asshole former boss, and is being rewarded
Basically all of Ezra Klein's favorite Democrats have come out in favor of ICE this week lol, it's wild
Incidentally, this line is going into all @prospect.org stories on this topic from this point forward:
"Immigration agents have shot to death at least 5 and wounded 9 more in shootings nationwide during their extended terror campaign, while causing at least 32 others to die in detention camps."
I audibly gasped at seeing this post. The GOAT back!!!
I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.
I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.
Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
Great thread about what the resistance looks like in Minneapolis
I think many of us are realizing that. So what is to be done?
Pretty good Oscar noms overall, only snubs I’m bummed about are Marty Supreme in Score (I’ve been listening nonstop for a month) and No Other Choice for Best Foreign Film. What’s the Academy’s problem with Park Chan Wook??
