@ljmontello.bsky.social and I met IRL, accidentally channeling Bloods/Crips:

Y'all realize that the Fred Hamptons, Assata Shakurs, and Huey Newtons of the world are N'Jadakas, right? Not Nakias or T'Challas. That's THE POINT OF THE FILM BLACK PANTHER. Everytime some Black person's like "Killmonger was wrong," I realize COINTELPRO won.

It's wild to me that somehow Democrats and their consultants are *still* coming away with the message that the moderate approach is the winning one. It continues to be based on assuming the base will support them forever, and all they need to do is convince some Republicans to join them.

Pretty obsessed with EZ band right now youtu.be/rtqHJnH7-y4?...

Shout-out to Carl Dean, the man who spent the past six decades loving Dolly Parton so well she wrote a damn song about how she was worried some fly pelirroja would steal him from her. That dude was an asphalt paver and landed DOLLY FUCKING PARTON.

That Nick Powers Guy blocked me on ClockApp (apparently a Black man he's not smarter than made him fear for his safety) but I guess he's getting paid by Steve Ballmer now.

I find it funny that Liberals are going to get most angry at the one thing Drumpf is gonna do right in his whole Presidency--and I trust he's gonna screw it right up by allowing those Azov fellas to come right over to their waiting jobs as policemen.

I'll say it: Demi Moore deserved Best Actress, and I'm actually pretty pissed that she didn't win it. I'm not pissed at Mikey Madison, who turned in an Oscar-worthy performance in the better film, but Demi Moore was heartbreaking in THE SUBSTANCE.

Dear God give me patience...they're really going to turn every genocidal fuckwit who opposes Trump into a hero...

Look, folks--the DNC clearly WANTED Drumpf to win, because this way the Dems can basically just be the W.Bush Republicans and people will lap it up like dutiful puppies, because Drumpf is 100% right about Ukraine trying to pull us into WWIII and y'all can't see it just because Drumpf sucks.

One of the brilliant things our current iteration of oligarchs did is get people to conceive of free speech as being able to call your coworkers slurs rather than using it to say stuff like why are my tax dollars subsidizing your billionaire ass

Centrists are having a hard time grappling with actual Nazism because for the first time they have to acknowledge they are halfway between Nazism and Freedom.

As the SNL50 guests start getting diagnosed with COVID, I'm seeing all these "Y DiD pEepUL tHinK C0v1d wAS oVeR?" reactions and hate life.

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Or, and hear me out, don't use genAI in your lit reviews. My god.

Could some conventionally-attractive white woman please tell Liberals that Drumpf is basically declaring himself king because they chose to sue Jill Stein off the ballot instead of sue Joe Biden or Kamala Harris into doing anything meaningful for working people?

Atari Teenage Riot may have sold out to AnCap Libertarian White Supremacy, but Bomb 20 is keeping up the good fight. realiciderex.bandcamp.com/album/desert...

THIS JUST IN: in a for-profit healthcare system, medical professionals eschew lower-paying jobs that deal with an increasing (and increasingly vulnerable) population. Man, I wonder how we could fix that? /s www.axios.com/2025/02/18/g...

Fun fact: no country has the "right" to exist. Countries exist largely via consensus. Basically, if you get enough white people to think you're a country, you're a country. If your country can only exist through the exploitation and genocide of someone else, maybe think those implications through.

Please help if you can

Unpopular reality: Putin wouldn't have occupied Donbass if the US hadn't tried to cut off his means to sell natural gas to Western Europe, and if Drumpf's on the level about ending the conflict there, that's pretty much the best resolution to a bad situation that could go nuclear.

I think my favorite part about watching Nick Powers go full-on neoliberal has been how transparently vacuous his positions are. Watching Mr. "Seize the Means of Production" tell everyone how general strikes are bad has been hilarious.

You'll never get rid of racism and fascism until you get rid of your own subtle (liberal) version of it. It's like a fungus, you can't keep a little and hope to control it.

I just…have my suspicions about the revolutionary capacity of a left-wing population who abandoned disabled and high-risk people at the drop of a hat for an assurance of their own normality. But it’s not to late to fix that particular choice (except for all the dead and disabled people who can’t)

#TIL that Keanu Reeves, when filming HARDBALL, took all of the young, Black kids he was working with out to dinner, where he introduced them all to Laurence Fishburne, with whom he'd just finished filming THE MATRIX. I don't know if I can love that more.

I've been hooked on Entombed's SAME DIFFERENCE lately. I've always been a fan of their Death'n'Roll period, but it's a different beast entirely--more noise rock, indebted to Unsane and Neurosis than anything else. I didn't give this album enough of a chance at age 18. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jZ9...

You're nuts if you're questioning the wisdom and leadership of the Democratic Party right now. They're not the problem. The problem is the voters. What we need to do is replace 300 million voters
