Mozilla killing off valuable software to focus on … vertical tabs and “AI features” nobody asked for. These dipshits really have their fingers on the pulse of the internet.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.

I just learned the word “heterodox,” the douchiest word to describe oneself, even out-douching the word “douche.”

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

We are all joking, tongue in cheek, our eyes on some hopeful horizon, about Nuremberg 2.0. Just remember what it took to get to Nuremberg 1.0.

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

it sounds like some people are saying you shouldn’t protest because it plays into Trump’s hand and I’m not really sure what they think sitting at home is doing

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

Just got this update from Kobo which says it's going to use AI to read my works to "enhance" discoverability and marketing, and determine the "suitability" of the works and "adherence to Kobo’s Terms of Service" among other things. Which is why I'm immediately pulling my books from Kobo.

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

Sorry, I had a terrible day and I'm being a bit of a bitch, but I'm seeing a lot of "I don't write [upsetting thing] because I don't think [upsetting thing] should be entertainment" And honestly, I don't understand.

whenever I see someone try to dismiss a critical opinion with "you not liking it doesn't mean it's bad" I think about how, well, okay, the opposite is also true - liking a thing doesn't mean it's good - and MAYBE, wild idea, the interesting bit is the hows and whys, not the false binary of good/bad

“If you’ve ever eaten an almond, you’ve also wasted a ton of water!” Right you are, bucko, but at least I got an almond out of it. And we still shouldn’t be growing almonds in California. How is this an argument?

Perhaps I’m being melodramatic, but letting these shameless grifters run amok is the reason our democracy has reached a malignant tipping point. This bozo is just going to shrug and say, “Oops, I got caught again. Off to find my next scam.”

We paid pet rent once, back in 2007 (it’s been around a long time), and after that we just claimed we didn’t have any pets. We had three cats. Fuck landlords. 🖕
