My mentee Tariq MaQbool just dropped an incredible piece about solitary confinement. Two days later, they raided his cell and now he's under "investigation." No one at NJSP will tell me, or his family, why. www.aljazeera.com/features/lon...

Yglesias insisting for years that progressivism is politically toxic and then suggesting Dems team up with an extremely unpopular pseudo-Nazi is a good window into the reality of “popularism”

Watching this @prisonculture.bsky.social video again--7 years old yet so timely. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

our hair is up, our dancing shoes are on, our matches are lit and yearning

Imagine looking at the trail of destruction Elon has left behind him in the GOP and then thinking "that's what we need for the Democratic Party!". He's 100% worth more to us incoherently pissing everywhere outside the tent then incoherently pissing everywhere inside the tent.

those centrists are fucking losers, lol.

Republicans do not consider themselves part of the same national community as you. They hate your freedoms, they spit on your values, they do not think you have a right to an equal say in this commonwealth. They consider themselves your enemy.

more than a small, vocal number of star wars fanatics ime, so many people accepted the mythopoetic logic of ESB as gospel & applicable to daily life. i think one of the biggest, most effective & affective things andor did was repositioning “try” as one of the noblest things real people can do. try

People are having fun imagining Miller giving Musk that black eye but let's be real. Steven Miller is composed of dust and black mold and so cannot achieve corporeal contact with another creature.

i have begun to use “wicked” to describe these people. it is old fashioned but captures the active nature of their malevolence. they are *agents* of evil

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

i will never take seriously the word of anyone who cares about “what polls better” when discussing fundamental human rights. if you are asking this question you have already lost yr humanity

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

We need vision, not (only) vindictiveness.

“Here we are once again confronted by a central truth about the people who lead these anti-trans campaigns in sports, which is that although they are first and foremost hateful bigots, they are also huge fucking losers.” defector.com/its-a-great-...

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

"I propose an alternate strategy: I shall fight Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon in a televised cage match, the winner of which gets $2.7 billion in federal grants and the power to uphold or destroy America’s continued technological and economic success." www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

But asking young men to behave as if they are responsible to others is indeed an attack on masculinity, at least so far as masculinity is defined as the entitlement to behave with indifference to others' dignity and wellbeing.

Convention of only Kylo Ren cosplayers: Kylo Ren Faire

Kylo Renaissance. Is this anything?

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie planted nightmares in me that I didn't shake for a decade. An absolute monstrosity.
