gotta carry a small object around with you at all times to fiddle with somewhat memorably. then when you're dying you can clutch it to your heart significantly before placing it in the hand of the heartbroken person watching you go. that kind of move doesn't happen by accident. it takes work.

getting new cars every couple of years is one of those consumption things we need to make illegal. if you buy a car you need to make a death pact with it, you cannot get a new one until it’s dead and buried

i feel like this is evidence for my view that people experience trump through a strong form of ironic detachment. they literally do not perceive him as real.

“Let them suffer the consequences of their actions.” I see this so much in my mentions, often from anonymous accounts who could be bots or ops for all I know, but whatever they are, they are trying to normalize a false bifurcation. If “they” are suffering, so are people you consider to be “us.”

Everything is terrible so I want to post about my favorite dude, my Dad, and how he became an organizer in his 80s. My dad is head of the old folks' caucus (their name, not mine!) at church. As their rep, he attends the church elders meetings and he thinks he doesn't say much in those spaces. 1/

This week, @wired.com has gotten a lot of love on this here app. (Thank you!!) But I don’t think I can overstate what a force @bsky.app has become in influencing the entire media ecosystem. So refreshing to have a platform that isn’t actively hostile to hard news.

The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting out planet in 2032 is now 1.5%, or 1 in 67. The OVERWHELMING likelihood is that the asteroid will miss Earth. But for the first time ever, we might have to seriously consider a deflection mission soon. Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)

Milchick most interesting person on Severance by a substantial margin. A character who would be a collection of wacky tics in the hands of a lesser actor feels like a genuine, almost bottomless enigma thanks to Tramell Tillman. I'm desperate to know his deal and I never want to actually learn it.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Please don't do this, even as a "joke." It endangers you and it endangers the people who interact with you and/or are in proximity to you. And once you're on a watchlist, you bring surveillance with you to whatever you do next, which makes you a potential danger to those you organize with.

a very funny eye opening experience many people have had about how the cops actually operate is this "hey i have a tracking beacon on this stolen item that shows exactly where it is can you arrest the guy who stole it?" and the cops go like "lol no that sounds like a lot of work"
