One more thing: If you are a member of the media and you get bogged down in whether the target of an antigay attack is LGBTQ+ or not, you are consenting to a framework you should not be consenting to. Hate speech does not become *worse* if you misdirect it. In 2026, this should not need saying.

This language endangers lives. It treats gay people as by definition worthy of contempt and less than fully human and trustworthy. To discuss it as "strategy" or an odd "choice" is to put yourself in the service of minimizing it, to volunteer as thecleanup crew for evil men. I'm sick of it.

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

Look at this beautiful book! STAR WARS: PRINCESS OF THE REBELLION written by the one and only Claudia Gray with a stunning cover by Zoë van Dijk comes to a galaxy near you on May 4th, 2027. It's a perfect way to celebrate the 50th!

SO good: “…we are constantly strapping in for the future, making ready each time to throw out the communities, cultural practices, and values that we have come to appreciate in their imperfections, only to be told once again that the plane must return to the gate for another unspecified checkup.”

“Hype is eating the future, and leaving us the bones.” Sun-ha Hong of UNC-Chapel Hill says the Silicon Valley hype machine systematically “borrows credibility from the future to purchase legitimacy in the present.” The cost, he argues, is a planetary-scale drain on our alternatives.

An episode of the Six Million Dollar Man where someone was trying to convince Steve Austin that his soul had left his body or something with this ghostly projection? I was definitely convinced.

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

🫡Liam Hendriks on a fabulous career. Incedible pitcher and an even better person. His Hercu-Liam performance in the 2020 Wild Card Series will stick with me forever. Looking forward to what he and his wife Kristi get up to next.

3. Jay Feely: “Girls are so emotional that to go out and play their best, they have to be right emotionally. You know, whereas guys, like, we can fight in the locker room… it doesn’t matter.”

This movie is hilarious, moving, and kind of unhinged? It will make your day/week/month better if you go see it, I promise.

“You cannot engage with Newsom in good faith, because what faith can you have in a shell of a person who so baldly pursues wealth, power, the next shiniest thing?” Nice work. His first Chronicle quote in 1991 was bragging about giving wine discounts to his wealthy benefactors. Has anything changed?

It is a profound indictment of most media coverage of Big Tech that your best bet for getting an informed understanding of AI and its dangers is following a decently curated list of Bluesky shitposters

The very first line is a lie, and we all know it. *None* of this was ever designed to help us, which is why it hurts us and we hate it. It really is that simple, but the media simply cannot bring themselves to say it.

Truly astonishing that all any world leader can think to do is keep inviting the same guys into a room to give their considered advice on how we can protect ourselves from all the harmful, unsafe things deliberately done by the guys in the room
