I'm so unbelievably stressed all the time

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

I have to show you all one of my favorite magic the gathering cards ever:

Jonging is so back

I have one (or two) litmus tests for what a person's underlying politics are: what is your *gut* response to MeToo? what is your *gut* response to Black Lives Matter? and that really tells you everything you need to know

Masking encourages others to mask. I was so proud after months of posting about if a few of my inlaws wore masks on the flight and in the airport. Hold fast and talk frankly. Draw lines where you must. More of us makes it easier for the rest.

if you're wondering what you can do to help: wear a mask. show that you care about people around you.

The NYT really should just go ahead and stick the swastikas in their header already

Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning singer and pianist whose intimate vocal and musical style on “Killing Me Softly with His Song” and other hits made her one of the top recordings artists of the 1970s and an influential performer long after, has died.

rest in peace, queen Roberta Flack💔

im not intimately familiar with roberta flack's discography, but as a fan of early r&b ive always had a deep appreciation for her songs. power and emotion. RIP.

Brought jong to the family vacation

I'm sure very few people know about this. Inmates in 43 states are charged a per diem cost for "room and board" ranging between $40 to hundreds of dollars. In some states you owe for every day of your original sentence EVEN IF YOU GET OUT EARLY. www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

The way strangers reply to you on this app is so awesome. I've never been talked down to like this before

disney+ (and marvel - info on the second picture) have been bumped up from pressure targets to priority boycott targets by the BDS. do your best to boycott all of these targets to the best of your abilities, as always. please avoid further platforming & promoting of disney and marvel IPs.

This includes ESPN+ and Hulu

So true, NiGHTS.

I make the music for when everybody knows mom needs some space

GO SHARKS

you have to make your art with a specific psycho vision otherwise by the time you release it whatever its doing aesthetically will already be played out... but psycho freak shit is forever

I'm crying laughing about Mot's Emmy award

if I see another person over the age of like 22 say they made an ADULT purchase by buying a car or getting a house or something in gonna be pissed cuz 1 stop infantilizing yourself and second just because you don’t do those things doesn’t make you any less of a grown adult in society

I've said this so many times, but do not fucking trust ANYONE on opinions. They do not live your life and do not share your tastebuds. Someone said this thing is shit? TRY IT YOURSELF! Someone else said that thing is mediocre? MAYBE YOU THINK OTHERWISE! Investigate, damn it.

useful fact: JIS screwdrivers work in Philips screws just fine. Philips screwdrivers will destroy a JIS screw in short order. this leads to lots of stripped screws on old ham radios

People talk a lot about "breaking norms" and I'm *mostly* a norms guy, but this is exactly when the norm of "audience listens, thugs thug, politicians have the mic" is supposed to break. Stand up, block the doors, chant "shame" Ask yourself, how can we make this space ours, not theirs

my first piece for The Atlantic. i will be providing more incisive commentary like this, when called upon to do so.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

stress gradient hypothesis. in microbial biology, a low-stress ecosystem with abundant nutrients leads to an emergence of parasitism while high-stress ones where starvation is a real threat cause cooperation and mutually beneficial symbiosis. roughly analogous things occur at every scale of nature

Finished the Cost of Discipleship

you don't even have to have empathy! you can just do the thing!
