I’ve started writing again and have decided to post some of it. Most will be about James Joyce, linguistics, the Bronze Age in Europe & the Near East, and maybe a poem or two. First post is a huge discovery imo: the origin of “A Clockwork Orange.” Check it out: easterdawn.wordpress.com

He is dead— dead serious about playing Lead Seagull!!

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Trump admin found a Latin American person he wants to let into the country

Live look at Bolsonaro’s journey to America

Counting or not counting in person Election Day turn out--

what i named my account after btw

The absolute buffoon in the Oval Office is just mashing buttons heading into the closing midterm stretch.

Synchronicity. I saw this a few posts below yours. bsky.app/profile/pape...

The postmortems are happening already, midmortem.

Prometheus was a story about humanity finding their gods and finding out what killed them and deciding to bring that killer back to earth in order to raise shareholder value 15%

Stop trying to make “superintelligence” happen

It’s so good

Clicked this link and immediately got 8 pop-ups. One of the worst UI enshittification offenders I’ve seen yet.

Brazil:

we must not idealize the cheesecake factory. even with cheesecake automation, it's brutal physical labor with no rest ever since the advent of cheesecake taylorism

Hey, I'll let you know that the cheesecake factory was a step up. My ancestors were cheesecake serfs until the revolutions of 1848. (I then get perma-banned for being unfunny.)

I know this is not libel but maybe it should be? This is more akin to 1993 anti-Tutsi radio broadcasts.

Progressive dads with soft midsections are on this train 🫡

Exactly

Democrat candidate Mike Sherrill won by 13.8% in 2025

Having poison ivy salad as an appetizer. It's made from scratch.

What kind of psychopathic outlet polls the ‘28 presidential primary right now

Her mom sounds like a very sad person in addition to being a total piece of shit

but me unironically actually lighting a little candle every night for her

The generality principle of the Rule of Law is its most essential concept. A class of people outside criminal law is incompatible with a law-based society.

“God bless Mama, Dad, Stanley, Harold, the cats, Grandma, Donk, Guggle, Mamie, Bobob, and DSA candidate for the Florida senator Angie Nixon. In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen.” 🧎‍➡️📿🛐🙏

In law school I learned about the Rule of 5: if you can get 5 Supreme Court justices to vote for it, it’s the law. My hope is that law schools will be teaching the Rule of 7 after Democrats retake Congress and President.

My bad little election twitter secret is I don’t care about governor races

When Democrats take over the government, everyone who accepts a pardon from Trump should be permanently barred from government employment. If possible, also from any lobbying or contracting activities.

Maher takes such joy in saying “fuck you” to his audience. I watched Politically Incorrect then Real Time religiously 1997-2009. I’ve seen him live. He’s not a funny person, and when a joke bombs he goes “oh fuck you” then people laugh & applaud. His stance was always “I’m too edgy for you squares.”

We get the dummies in the national divorce

Honestly this is the most disastrous midterm whistle stop tour for a President since 1866 when Andrew Johnson showed up wasted to every campaign rally he had and Democrats lost even more seats than they had during the Civil War

Didn’t know this was in the works! Did anyone watch Copenhagen Cowboy or Too Old to Die Young?

Mediaite: "Oh, you think this is a stock photo? No. She killed THIS SPECIFIC KITTEN!"

1) funny that they’re ghosting 2) don’t some people think Un is dead?

@brandyjensen.bsky.social I still think of this one often

Don’t know Tyler Cowen and the Free Press can kiss my booty, but this guy is right. Having children should be a reason (one of many) not to send someone to jail.

The MAGA crew (recently Andrew Tate) speaks shrilly about prison conditions. They’re right! But their minor contacts w/ incarceration are not unique. We treat criminals terribly in this country. Trump only gives a shit about abuses when the targets are his allies, white ppl, or a sexual predators.

Good for this reporter! That takes a lot of guts, and Trump especially but presidents generally don’t deserve deference when they’re slimy insulting liars like Trump is.

D+ 20-25% nationally would be a good guess. There’s a vast gap between when the maps start to fail in some districts and when they actually hurt Republicans compared to a nonpartisan baseline

8yo Patrick: The sun comes up on July 2nd. A motley assortment of tired men converged in the Pennsylvania wilderness… Park Ranger: oh my god fine, I concede the point

Here's the J.D. Vance puppet I designed for Spitting Image. #caricature #art

1) hugely disappointing and a continuing structural failure 2) at what point does it become an actual dummymander? If it’s a 20% Dem GCB environment, is that when the aggressive redistricting backfires? 25%? Not that this will happen but I’m curious.

Like, if the film is a Puritan's nightmare then it's also patriarchy's nightmare and I just don't understand why that is interesting in the face of any number of films fearful of witches/women ...... Still thinking about this IM SORRY

Pitfall on Atari. This pixelated adventure tapped into my sense of wonder as profoundly as any work of art since.
