Just a little video update on “Tommy,” the guy from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social video, featuring major new reporting from @jasonaw.bsky.social for @theguardian.com:

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say this very true thing, obvious to many, out loud. My own childhood left me hypervigilant in adulthood of how our community treats children and of what we *pretend* (mistakenly) won’t leave a mark on kids (physically/emotionally). It is cultural; we *pretend* not.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

And, arguably, this was Biden 2020, people held there nose and voted with truly historic turn out, highest turn out in history of those numbers being run, and they failed to prosecute, undo any of trump's most damaging policies, started a new red scare and set the table for the fourth Reich

Yes AND: How has no one yet commissioned a poll in order to gauge how few of us would give a fuck? Against the backdrop of a culture that has never met an issue it did not want to poll-test or focus-group, I find the willful blindness positively breathtaking.

Mason’s statement reads like a vacant-eyed jerk-off motion fed itself to an LLM in order to realize its dream of becoming text

Oh boy, best practices in machine-assisted art … is a sick album title and a laughable thing to talk about

Any Democrat suggesting that there is any political mission other than bringing all elected Republicans to justice for their participation in an insurrectionist hate group needs to be booed and hissed without cease until they can be fired at the next available opportunity

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

who the fuck signed this warrant

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?

Kids we already have ADHD at home

If you are one of my neighbors in New York City—the greatest city in the world—you can take less than one minute to demand: (1) NYPD ceases all material support to ICE; (2) Arrest the shooter(s); (3) Tisch’s immediate removal if she is not sufficiently enthusiastic about the above

NYPD confirms an ICE agent has shot someone while attempting to kidnap them in the Bronx, more details coming out. Reports of community members and protesters planning to assemble at the area of the shooting. It is unknown at this time of the condition of the GS victim.

[edit] The book Venn I am going to suggest: This is WHO: American Oligarchs by Andrea Bernstein + This is WHY: Caliban & Witch + This is HOW: Capital Is Dead by McKenzie Wark anyone you see missing in that formulation is in: Golden Gulag.

“No one has ever heard of Hasan Piker” is at this point a shibboleth for people who are proud of not caring what people under 40 think or consume. Stop repeating it. Clearly, a lot of people have heard of Hasan Piker, and once again the bad guys figured it out before you lot.

It is impossible to maintain an attitude of “I believe that we will win” when we are talking about Ralph Nader in 2026

Hey man, if you're out there, if your mom wrote this letter to Abigail Shrier about you, please drop a gofundme and we will get you the fuck out of there.

Context: from any federal judge this is mortifying to be on the receiving end; SDNY judge, it’s a reason to change careers. When it comes from the Hon. Colleen McMahon you have to stop and ask yourself if she just hit you with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique and you are already dead.

A “like” is inadequate; this is one of my new foundational texts

(in the family group chat): that wont matter. without radical change all of this is meaningless in fifteen years. we have no idea how dire things are (in the communist group chat): they should make a turn based final fantasy again with the two minute summon animations

Popular mayor turns out to be deeply disrespectful of such time-honored liberal traditions as “never message your wins” and “do your best not to be caught doing anything”

We really need this one to penetrate the mainstream

Update your priors, when you see "Johns Hopkins" you shouldn't think "good school" or "medical research," you should think "hedge fund that lives off taxpayer money and drops its claimed standards to collaborate with fascists" because that's what the school decided to make itself.

Israeli military and affiliated extremists are laying siege to an American citizen’s property, and if he weren’t American, he’d probably be evicted or dead by now, like his neighbors, and our government supports Israel in acting like that Repeat that one in the red states

Not me liking and reposting this in the afternoon because I was up too fucking late pondering existence only for it to punch me in the face again in the morning

I plan to rely on the vast army of spreadsheet people who aren’t such fucking Spreadsheet People

Guys I’m sorry to be selfish but there are too many people getting too riled up about too many dumb things on my breaking news slash mental health advocacy slash niche hobbyist weirdo site so idk go on a fucking walk or something

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

Me on an hourly basis

I’m not joking, what does it take to get people outside his Brooklyn offices with signs every day? I have the time on my hands and so do a lot of our neighbors @indivisible.org @bkindivisible.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social
