readers often ask 'whats the best way to support an author?' and while there are MANY ways to do this, the most powerful is clear: PREORDER THE AUTHORS BOOK. i will go into why, but first please consider taking the briefest moment to preorder FABULOUS BODIES: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
wow hey new york it’s perfect weather for getting on your bike and tooling around listening to songs from a now-dead DIY scene you were on the periphery of when you were 25. good for the soul
oh at least four
I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant.
It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.
It's very frustrating, because what is the danger supposed to be?
In theory, it's regret, because we know there are no serious harms, there are only changes that could feel like harms if the person isn't trans.
But in practice they can't find the regret.
Then enjoy dooming Democrats to failure again.
Newsom is not electable. He is only favorable to a very slim subset of people. He would not survive a general election and your insistence he would prevail is purely wishcasting
congressional democrats didn't give a fuck that we double tapped an elementary school last week with tomahawk missles and killed almost 200 little kids but they're about to express the purest outrage today because Line Go Down
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
if as they’re reporting nobody’s been hurt in the gigantic fire that took out the whole block next to central station, next most important order of business: why was it called ‘Sexy Coffee’
This is the classic BOAN defense:
"It invented EVERYTHING in the movies, just everything, you can't make it political... Seen it? No, I haven't seen it but it's terribly important!"
I am also shocked by the lack of coverage of this fire. It’s so far only affecting the Union Street buildings, but one of those has partially collapsed, from what I can tell backwards into the station. And it’s not yet contained. This is major and more than halfway down BBC’s homepage.
The author sits at her exhibit table next to a Mitski poster she designs. Two teens stand in front of her table. One teen asks, “is that a REAL Mitski poster?” The author answers, “haha yeah … from 2015! Over a decade!”
The author looks wistfully skyward and says “it was a small scene in Brooklyn … we have the same birthday actually!”
While the author stews in nostalgia, blissfully ignorant, the teens give each other a look. One of the teens says “oh my God…”
The teen follows up with “Mitski is OLD!” A spike from the word balloon punctures through the author’s glasses into her eye.

a screenshot of the music video Planet of the Bass, it has a man in a white outfit and angel wings, a woman in a robe and a crown, the caption reads "Women are my favorite guy"
happy international women's day to all my international women
Screenshot from the Planet of the Bass Tiktok where lyrics on screen say "Women are my favorite guy"
Screenshot from the Planet of the Bass Tiktok where lyrics on screen say "Tell the world 'stop the war'"
This song feels incredibly relevant today.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
The gaslighting is profound. Both the Israeli government and the Trump regime continue to call on the Iranian people to rise up and change their government. Meanwhile, we are slaughtering them in the streets with indiscriminate bombing.
"just type in a prompt" what if i could just upload the file and it would understand csv and mapping like they have for years before this what if
it's amazing to me that even with the white house literally going "oh yeah we're gonna kill as many iranians as we can, fuck your 'rules'", there are *still* people running defence for them murdering a school full of kids
"it's because the AI had outdated information" how about you go fuck yourself
would jesus not be mad if you kill a bunch of people to bring him back. is it okay if its to bring jesus back, i'm not up on all the rules i confess
Al Jazeera cracked this "enigma":
This school had many daughters of military officers and soldiers. The idea was to attract them to the school, strike it to draw in rescuers and relatives, and then strike it again to kill them.
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Iran regime change advocates got what they spent decades pushing for—the US to launch a big war to collapse Iran’s government—and they’re still not happy.
Because what they pushed for years was a fantasy of a smooth, easy regime change war that gets everyone to tell them they were right all along.
It really sucks to see NBC Washington post a reel on Instagram that takes credit for sharing the DOGE USIP raid body cam footage with the world. They mention The Handbasket in the caption knowing full well that all people are going to see is the video. Pretty shameless.
if you take something erotic that openly signals its intended audience and expose it to a different audience with the intent to gawk at it in disgust, even if it was posted on a public platform to begin with, you're lowkey doing a sexual harassment & it's a grey area that should be noticed more imo
to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be
They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
