Oh hey! Check out this fine Pittcast and discussion (with someone who is allllll too excited about The Pitt) bsky.app/profile/vgbe...

During Jim Crow, incarcerated men and children were leased to tar companies in the Everglades as part of convict leasing. They got malaria. It was so bad many tried to escape despite alligators. This is what these people celebrate. Rank Jim Crow shit.

It's a good day to remember that American Samoans are US "nationals," not citizens, by birth, and SCOTUS declined to hear their case a few years ago Felt like a warning for birthright citizenship as a concept and here we are www.civilbeat.org/2022/10/us-s...

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

just have one left to do and I'm all caught up, that'll be *island* with a very warm and sunny palette -- lospec.com/palette-list...

and then there was today's @lospec.com #Pixel_dailies prompt, *hunter* with a dark and gloomy palette lospec.com/palette-list...

then we had *riot* with a bright palette -- lospec.com/palette-list... ... remembering the first pride was a riot etc.

the next #pixel_dailies prompt I did was *farm* with a very pretty palette -- lospec.com/palette-list...

spent some time trying to chill tf out tonight, did some catch-up on my little #pixeldailies. That helped a bit. Here's *abandoned* lospec.com/palette-list...

A thing that is really wild (and deeply depressing): every publication I've previously worked for full time has gone under (either completely erased from the internet or now in a weird zombie shell bought by... whatever/whoever). I was looking for some of my old work today and, yup...

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

You haven’t truly reached your low point until you’re crying hard and dissociating on the C train at 3pm on a Thursday

And here's the @lospec.com #pixel_dailies #pixelart entry for *grim* with another nicely matched palette -- lospec.com/palette-list...

Here's the @lospec.com #pixelart #pixel_dailies entry for *amphibian* with a palette that realllly worked nicely for the prompt: lospec.com/palette-list...

Few more @lospec.com #pixel_art #pixel_dailies from the last week or so, here's *gardening* with a very colorful palette -- lospec.com/palette-list...

Need to start making some new time blocks in my schedule for Being Sad About the Careless Destruction of US Scientific Research

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

It is really just an unspeakably beautiful thing that a socialist was able to defeat the nexus of the world's most curdled billionaires for mayor of New York

I guarantee you, there is a non-sexually assaulting progressive Millennial or Gen Z person with a smattering of charisma in every district where there is an inert, fat cat establishment mayor or representative. Take every seat.

brad u should primary chuck schumer

uh oh feeling that horrible "hope" other people have once described

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

I saw so many people talking about how Mamdani and Lander were clearly running because they love their city and want to make life better there, while Cuomo seems to hate and fear it, and that feels like the key piece of this campaign that could be replicable by progressives everywhere

Everything has been so truly horrible this year and I’ve been at the end of my rope for months on end, but with Mamdani tonight… holy sweet Christ something good may actually happen in 2025 and I am both here for it and can barely believe it’s real

1/ Stunning upset in NYC, where @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Andrew Cuomo to concede. We've been following this contest closely. Some highlights to follow: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Many years ago, Zohran attended a few meetings of Survived and Punished NY. When we launched our #FreeThemAll campaign to free people in women's prisons who were incarcerated for defending themselves against DV/SA, Zohran who was then working on Cynthia Nixon's campaign got us on her radar.

For a REAL detailed map of how NYC voted, check our map out 😎 www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/24/m...

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Nothing has endeared Brad Lander to me like seeing him regularly trash talk Andrew Cuomo bitterly into a hot mic

I hope people in this city NEVER forget what these bastards did. It was disgusting.

Live shot of Mamdani HQ via @hellgatenyc.com, it’s packed but nobody’s dancing yet. It’s like they’re all as stunned as we are.

Good riddance apnews.com/article/andr...

LET'S FUCKING GO NEW YORK YOU BEAUTIFUL CITY

More than double the number of New Yorkers cast ballots during the nine days of early voting compared to four years ago, including a substantial number of first-time voters, according to a new analysis of turnout data.

We threw @defunctland.bsky.social ‘s FastPass video essay on tonight after dinner and my god it’s such a great revisit. An absolute masterwork of analysis, imagery, building suspense, and joyful surprise. (If you haven’t ever seen it, do so right now - I can’t recommend it strongly enough.)

2012:

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”
