I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

Sigh I am apparently now the kind of person who wins real-ass non-eBay auctions. I’m gonna end up like Bleeding Gums Murphy, alone and broken by a Fabergé Egg addiction, but in my case it will be a giallo movie poster addiction oh well

Thousands of Christians are being rounded up and deported by the U.S. government, but they’re not cottagecore tradmoms or their homeschooled goat milk enthusiasts, so these guys are fine with it. Actually, they’re thrilled.

my father in law said he’d read some of my book and said he found it way better than all my previous writing and it was so psychological and even reminded him of Proust (?!) and it turned out he read the dummy copy which is just my book jacket wrapped around a posthumous Mary Higgins Clark novel

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Just spoke to a Catholic deacon, Matt Coyne, at this Philly No Kings protest. Says he just finished participating in an ordination service for new deacons downtown, and a group of them left and immediately joined the crowd. “Jesus said love your neighbor. Simple as that,” he says.

Every Minnesotan is yelling at all of you to knock this off. Not competitive districts. Lege is not in session. You don't even go here. This is bad enough without the rest of the country parrotting this. Just. Fucking. Wait. For. Local. Reporting.

This is the core disaster—everyone lives in their own reality, and so basic governance of a pluralistic society becomes impossible. And the alternate reality of right-wing media in particular is actively, knowingly, gleefully fictional. No surprise, A.I. is front/center. No idea how to unfuck this.
