maybe now that you’re taking your life in your hands every time you board a plane or come within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor or need medicine or eat tinned food you’ll finally admit that those Oberlin students were unnecessarily touchy about sandwiches that one time by Jonathan Haidt

I've watched the halftime show three times now and that was 100% not a halftime show - that was pure theater. That was Hamilton by way of This is America. Award categories need to be invented so Lamar and his team can sweep them. That was fucking epic. What a bold piece of performance art.

It is important to the right wing and the radical center that evidence of people from marginalized groups achieving things be hidden, so that their work is invisible, their inability assumed, and the perception that their presence is "DEI" or "CRT" or "wokeness" reinforced with race science trash.

Over the last few years my dad has been doing a series of paintings where he imagines his cat, Bridget, travelling through art history. This one chronicles Bridget's visit to Barbara Hepworth's studio. tomcox.substack.com/p/the-cat-wh...

Does Musk think he is Hari Seldon and not realize that he is in fact the Mule, or is he just content being the Mule?

CBC's wall-to-wall coverage of this crisis is another great example of why we should value Canada's public broadcaster

My daughter and I went to a “wine and welding” class last night, because why not. That's me welding in the first picture! Our final product was art - a new companion for my cat Metatron. Please welcome . . . <drum roll> . . . Metalatron!

gonna vaguepost this but a bunch of people spent late 2024-early 2025 living in a kind of fan fiction about what the Hogue report was going to conclude and I really cannot stress enough that these people are not good sources of information. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Elon Musk's anti-remote work crusade is so funny to me this is the guy with the vision for the future? he wants to go to Mars, why? so you can sit in an office cubicle from 9 to 5 but you're doing it on the Red Planet? lol

My political philosophy right now is “these idiots are gonna take up far too much of my time in the next few years, so I’m gonna try and pay as little attention as possible for now.” Props to those who can doom scroll, I just don’t see the point in engaging w it rn 😕

I'll say this: it's a big ol world and I have watched people genuinely, accidentally make a gesture that looked too much like a fascist salute for comfort to a man and woman they had the sense to be IMMEDIATELY MORTIFIED

Everything Elon Musk does at this point, I just kinda think, yeah, that’s what an obvious drug using idiot who spends too much time on the computer would do, and then I forget about it. Just easier that way.
