So far, Nate Silver and Matt Yglesias have come out against this piece which means you know with 100% certainty that Ed is correct and you should listen to what he’s saying

I know we’re not trodding any new territory here but anyone who has ever dealt with a fragile narcissist has heard the “just agree with me” plea.

I love hope and all but you can’t post political news on Facebook in Canada, whereas most people over 40 in the States get all of their “news” (AI slop and fascist screeds) from Facebook posts.

I don’t know how applicable this is but I’ve learned shipping zines that envelopes with hardware on them (like clasps) cost a little extra to send because they have to be hand-processed, as they can’t run through the scanning machine out of fear they’ll jam things up.

I stopped shopping at Target when they rolled back their DEI programs. I bought Instax film there regularly. I’ll never shop there again.

Father eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to young son at the airport: When I was in high school, these didn’t exist yet. Son: Cheetos? Flamin’ Hot Dad: No, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Son: Oh. Flamin’ Hot Dad: They made a movie about it. Son: Your high school? Flamin’ Hot Dad: No, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

People ARE doing stuff. They’re holding sing-ins & running auctions & answering hotlines & takedowning Tesla dealerships & calling reps & putting heat on town halls. Take heart. Take action. Eyes in the boat and keep rowing till we get there.

In all seriousness, I cannot think of another example in my lifetime or even to my knowledge in American history where an American president has been so widely despised that he literally cost parties in other countries elections.

Got to see @artofcoop.bsky.social in Austin today and he blessed me with one of these beauties.

Periodic reminder that if you are arguing with people on the Internet right now, take literally any other form of action right now. Make a donation, give to a fundraiser, sign up for a shift, show up to that thing you said you don't have time to show up for, whatever. Do literally anything else.

Good god. Meta is using their AI licensing deals with John Cena, Disney, and others to peddle sex chat bots to kids. Burn this company to the fucking ground. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved. I spoke to chat members who were fired, are on admin leave, and who kept their jobs about the new lavender scare:

not surprising at all but it is very funny to have hard evidence that the people crowing about intellectual diversity and heterodoxy cooked their brains in a soup made by a guy who proudly admits he’s grooming right wing chuds lol

NEW EPISODE! We’re working on getting caught up AND Niko is embarking on a book tour so we present this episode on Orange County, which was meant to be a bonus episode but here we are! Come my lady (come, come my lady) back to 2002. Also, I’m sorry for calling Shift Shellshock “Shifty Shamrock”.

No, Jesse, I don't want to go on your podcast; normally when someone ignores an invitation that's a cue to stop asking.

To be fair, it’s only “prepping” if the bad thing isn’t for sure in the process of happening.

I too have gotten my proverbial shit rocked on several occasions over the course of decades of action. This is what happens when resisting a monstrous system. This is the expectation.

I love how in the Boogie Nights commentary, Paul Thomas Anderson expressly tells the filmmakers watching it to pay attention because Anderson considered commentary tracks a substantial piece of his education.

This is the most thoughtful, generous and tender review of my book I have read so far. I am at a loss for words, truly. Thank you @jackie-wong.bsky.social for your kind words and careful examination of the book.
