Anyway, here's Sugar the cat contemplating the impermanence of life and the very nature of existence, as one does

Hosted the younger siblings, their SOs, & mom last night. Cookeda pork loin roast in the sous vide for quick-fried, select-a-size katsu. It was the juiciest, tenderest, and crunchiest katsu ever. Pair that with karaage appetizers, beer, and plum wine and it was a great home izakaya night.

a perfect loaf 🍞

I remember like 20 years ago, early in the manosphere days of the internet, someone snuck into an MRA meeting and released a video of the kind of stuff they talked about. It was mostly this one guy saying feminism’s demonizing of masculinity is the reason he doesn’t know how to fix a bicycle

beauty comes in many forms

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

planes with dei: fly me to the moon and let me play among the staaars planes without dei:

I love No More Heroes. I relate to Travis tons (Midori sums up why here), but 3 REALLY ramped that up. Esp the Sonic Juice pre-fight talk. I’m not AS plugged into Japanese media as my pals, but—esp w/Suda’s friendship w/Akira Yamaoka & Shinji Mikami—I like finally finding a style that really fits.

Got the US/Canada nations face off hockey game on in the background, and, goddamn, is the crowd ever against America. Tons of boos during the Star Spangled Banner. And the first two face offs instead were actual brawls. So that’s how that’s going.

I seriously been listening to her song on loop all morning when I haven’t been in meetings. Just vibing.

Reminds me a bit of Obama being elected when my personal life was in shambles. Knowing W was out of office helped a lot! Then my life rocketed shortly before Trump was first elected. Joked that I’d be ok with my life being terrible again if it meant the world wasn’t going to hell. Hah hah.

I agree that isolation is not the answer, but I am reminded of my mother's wisdom that there is a difference between friend, associate and acquaintance. Social media has sped a collapse of cordial = friend but some people need to be demoted into a less intimate status because they steal energy.

Making my way through No More Heroes 3 and got done with the musical chairs death match against Velvet Chair Girl. Between her design, her segment, and the music during the battle, she’s def my star in the game so far. youtu.be/0pETl0LAqrU?...

This fake Catholic wants to talk down to the Pope for speaking of the values of Christ in protecting immigrants. He doesn't actually follow the faith, he just wants to use it as an excuse for his white supremacy and cruelty. The American strain of conservative Catholicism is a cancer on the faith.

Glad I’m getting reacquainted with the Church right when the Pope is pissing off MAGA.

Mia Mingus with an excellent thread on how to get through this moment without destroying ourselves and our relationships/bodies

This is a big part of what’s prompted me to attend my old church again. Even tho I’m not really believing, the community connection & work is important. I’m glad I was immediately rewarded w/unexpectedly reconnecting with a fellow krav instructor there from when I taught.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

All of this. I would just add that the US promotion of rights abroad (to counter the Soviets) led to the expansion of Civil Rights at home. Signaling to dictators that the US does not care about human rights empowers Trump to brutalize his domestic enemies. Excuse my horrors and I’ll ignore yours.

We're seeing Neimöller's famous "first they came for" poem play out in real time and every institution is failing to meet the moment.

Can't get over how insightful this article is; some seriously fantastic writing @elienyc.bsky.social 👏🏻

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

GOSH SURE DO LOVE THESE WARM, SWEATY FEBRUARY DAYS, DON’T Y’All?!

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.

This is what's happening to the USA right now

I just took the best picture of my life

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

On Monday, the NFL unveiled a football designed by 44-year-old Nipissing First Nation artist Quentin Commanda as part of its lead-up to Sunday’s game in New Orleans.

Tbh I think the biggest story is the extent to which white federal employees aren't putting up any real fight against government resegregation.
