Jobian Day

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Pro-Lula Brazilians doing en masse digital organizing against the platforms is interesting. Basically took website/influencer growth hacking techniques—eg everyone go like/comment/share this, get the algorithm to pick it up—and applied them to electoral politics at a grand scale. Thread:

Every aspect of life as a gay man is unimaginably better than it was when I was born in the mid 80s. We beat the plague that was killing us by the hundreds of thousands and then won broad social and civic equality.

Among the many many many reasons to vote, here's one to consider: Let's prove that billionaires can't buy an election. Let's prove it in a big way.

Albanians just set fire to the Supreme Court after it allowed Jared Kushner to buy land in the country against the their will.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

"It didn’t even occur to us we could go to a doctor because, you know, it wasn’t an emergency (The American healthcare system damages your *thinking,* not just the public health)." www.welcometohellworld.com/the-american...

Eternally grateful for the opportunity to continue doing something so ridiculous.

Nothing makes me feel like more of an abject failure at life than when a beautiful woman calls me “dude,” and dear reader I once crashed an airplane. I should probably explain.

absolutely insane setup & punchline, a master of the craft

At a church service in Chicago they had set up cardboard cutouts in the pews to represent the worshippers who would have attended mass if not for fear of being disappeared. Not far away I saw a laborer’s lunch had been left uneaten and spilled over onto the sidewalk outside of a home...

Slift’s incredible new album was recorded live in studio with no overdubs & mixed by killer Kurt Ballou of Converge and… you can tell. Easily my favorite French psych-rock 3 piece working today youtu.be/Og8TDbfIAWY?...

Right, okay everybody, I’ve had a lot of meetings and talks this week and I have to share some top line thoughts. Things are quite a bit worse than i am usually willing to share with people because panic does no good. It’s kinda bad. The baddies have the wind at their back. No denying that.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

That might be the most compelling thing I've ever watched

I’m assuming that a rabble rouser who works at a farm specializing in raising starchy tuberous vegetables is referred to as an agi-tater.
