The point of art is creating it yourself. Including all the mistakes & failures. It's not something to "optimize" or "outsource" because it's an expression of humanity, not how fast you can yak something out. That's a printer, not art.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the bad guys.

You’ve had no-nip top surgery and you get “that guy” on the beach who rudely asks why you don’t have nipples. Best response? A. I’ll tell you man, don’t fuck with seagulls. B. My ex took everything in the divorce. C. My species doesn’t nurse their young. D. Spring break in Akron. E. Other?

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

None of these awful things are distractions. It's bad people doing a bunch of bad things at once and they want all of them to happen. It's exhausting to have to fight on all fronts but you HAVE to fight on all fronts or you lose them all anyway.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.
