I usually try to explain it like this: picture Will Menaker as Cornell West. Now imagine they're Cuban. Doesn't look so much like the Brooks Brothers Riot was caused by adult Bluey fans floss dancing now, does it?

It's a "read the room" thing. Everyone talking about this is talking about how how a lot of people are loosing their careers, facicists are talking control of the media, crossovers are less likely, I posted sad drunk Bugs Bunny, and you are asking about a project that was already dead

Hijacker: Everyone stop talking. I am armed and I am taking control of this plane. Guy from the Netherlands: Wow, in Netherlands we just purchase a plane if we want one. But typically we will bike somewhere Guy who has been to Japan once: In Japan planes are rarely hijacked. It's a cultural taboo

Tonight on Very Important Podracers

Here we go, I had it saved on my phone. Again, you can tell Lincoln is a genius because if I was ever asked to edit something as good as the Seward copy I would just send it back with a "yeah, looks good man, thanks for making the first pass at this" in red ink.

The owl of Minerva—people are talking about it more and more. Under Sleepy Joe Biden, you never saw the owl. Only at dusk. But under your favorite president we're seeing owls all the time. They're saying they're the greatest, biggest owls they've ever seen www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies is largely a response to From Elfland to Poughkeepsie because he was so pressed by it, and then Carpe Jugulum is an apology and concession that Le Guin may have had a point there. Lots of very sly references in both, but my favorite is Oats' axe and box of matches.

Great catch

if you do The Jaunt without anesthesia you just watch this game in its entirety

I’m watching the World Series. I’m taking part o the Stanford prison experiment. I’m at the combination World Series/Stanford prison experiment

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)

Broken Eggs, by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1756

hell? yea, brother

wazzzaaaa dude happy birthday lol 😝 hope you’re having a good one wish i was there Also we all know the secret we share. Into the depths of darkness men like us tread. The hunger that drives us away from the light.

You’re in her DMs. I’m somehow in Pete Hegseth’s war crimes group chat. We are not the same.

What a blow to our community. Condolences to Ken's family-- We have lost a trailblazing warrior for hemophilia/AIDS justice, but they have lost a beloved partner, father, and grandfather. And thank you to @kathysmackay.bsky.social for this moving, well-written memorial.

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains? Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

bean dad was right

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

JD Vance's intervention for AfD not looking all that brilliant right now

I think Democrats think bc them freaking out is not a sufficient condition to make the public at large freak out, it is not a necessary condition and I think they are probably wrong.

Incredible things are happening in the reason.com comments section

our nation has a Kennedy missing his brain and now a white man from Dallas is about to help LBJ win. welcome back, 1963

I dunno. One of the many bitter ironies of the moment is that it has never been more important to reclaim American patriotism from the right and never less desirable to claim.

anyway the real answer to the Odyssey crisis is that we must give every child this book
