1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

It's difficult to overstate just how much professional journalists have been trained to fear defamation lawsuits and how much it has impacted the ability to tell the truth

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

I didn't always love his movies, although I loved the ones I loved as much as I have liked anything, but the extent to which David Lynch was able to make his weird and singular art in exactly the way he wanted to make it, for so long, is an inspiration. His whole life was an artistic statement.

it's gotta be weird if you aren't into football at all but follow people who do. you're just minding your own business, enjoying yourself on social media, and all of a sudden everybody says DOINK at the same time and doesn't bother to explain why

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/defending-...

I really wish I could impress on all these young guys who are being told by creeps and con artists that women only want a jacked guy with money how much women like a guy who can cook and/or make them laugh.

there are four teams (bills, ravens, lions, vikings) who are really good, really entertaining, have very compelling narratives, and would be exceptionally satisfying to see as super bowl champs. if the chiefs threepeat it will be more annoying and loathsome than anything the patriots ever did

The Daniel Penny case reminds me of the Kyle Rittenhouse case in that people who think acquittal was right aren't going "tragic episode but proper legal outcome, I'm glad this didn't make it worse," but are instead going "yay deadly violence against a type of person I denigrate, now let's see more!"

L’extrême droite, ennemie de la liberté de la presse, partout, tout le temps. « Le cabinet israélien a approuvé un boycott éditorial et financier du principal journal d’opposition de l’État hébreu. Une “nouvelle étape vers le démantèlement de la démocratie israélienne”, réagit le journal ».
