Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s brother, John, told Italian media that the pope helped him file his tax return and, over a video call, got him back into a computer he had locked himself out of. Prevost propped his iPad on the dead machine and asked his brother what to do. “Because I’m computer illiterate.”

I mean.... do people know that Bob Kraft is an AIPAC megadonor, raises funds for the IDF, and has even set up the organization Touchdown for Israel, where NFL players are given free, highly conscripted trips to see “the holy land"? Suffice it to say, the West Bank and Gaza are not on the tour.

Turns out the person who demanded that Macklemore be removed was Patriots owner Bob Kraft under threat that he would cancel their tour stop at the Patriots stadium. Oligarchal pressure stomping the first amendment. Also Ed Sheeran is a fucking coward. Writing about all this now.
Cancel culture for those who say “Free Palestine.” Free Palestine. Free Macklemore. variety.com/2026/music/n...

PSA from @therickwilson.bsky.social of the @lincolnproject.us: Do NOT buy a cheap green laser-pointer rated at 1 mW or above and aim the laser beam at a Flock camera. The beam can destroy the lenses and delicate sensors contained in the Flock camera. It may damage it. youtube.com/shorts/BrG6T...

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

(typically phosphate, sometimes but rarely nitrogen). So why, all the sudden, would it be really high in nutrients? My guess is they refilled it with city water. Washington DC like most major metropolitan areas, adds orthophosphate to the water for lead corrosion control. It works beautifully 3/19

could contribute to faster algae growth, the real issue is nutrient eutrophication. Given warmth and light (summer), ANY water with enough nutrients will grow algae. Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) isn’t limited by temperature and light this time of year, it’s limited by nutrient availability 2/19

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

I was on @democracynow.org this morning - face quite frowny - talking about how Trump cost the Knicks last night’s game. (He did.) I also take the Knicks repugnant owner James Dolan to the woodshed. That part was very therapeutic. www.democracynow.org/2026/6/9/dav...
