I knew someone - probably plenty of someones - would have this take. A zillion crime shows portray the impact on a victim's family. Part of the point of Adolescence is showing the impact on the killer's family. Stunning that this goes over people's heads. Anyway, episode 4 absolutely gutted me.

@bsky.app Since the Govt has now said it's using social media to identify folks with dissenting views, will you change your functionality to allow people to delete past comments? Otherwise their safety is at risk.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I just love this figure from @jksteinberger.bsky.social in their paper on "Discourses of Climate Delay". You can find all the arguments of your colleagues and influencers taking the world in the wrong direction. Perhaps we need another paper rebutting each? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

the tariff trade war stuff is pretty complicated but one way you can think about it is that in this scenario the United States is basically Drake and Canada is Kendrick Lamar

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

"Fix your hearts or die" IS absolultely fire but also huge shoutout to David Lynch for writing a trans character into the OG run of Twin Peaks in fucking 1990 who was cool, and confident, and who was treated with the utmost respect and dignity by her former colleague the instant he meets her

A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her. His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”

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.
