When Harry Met Sally for Tax Purposes

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

Artists, QRP with your favourite portrait you’ve drawn.

I NEED SOMEONE WITH ACCESS TO HELP ME GET THESE

Lol my buddy just sent me another angle and it's somehow even more ridiculous

Tell those 24 mayors to pay for it.

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

to be clear, this fascist shit is happening because the king told a lie about vandalism and they're retroactively arresting people to try to make it seem like it's true

"the cherishing of antipathies is a luxury for which [people] ought willingly to pay, instead of transferring the hateful tax onto the victim" is such a bar, my god

Ultraman X UPA! This was a lot of fun to put together, maybe I’ll get around to making one for Ultraseven… 💥

Motherfucker, rights do not flow from your fucking uneducated estimates

Best part of this to me was him talking about the table he's building at the end. And I'm not talking about the one made of wood. youtu.be/cpgqWZyAJtM?...

It feels really weird to say this, with the studio having the history they do, but I think the industry needs to take a look at how Hi-Rez has handled Smite 2's development as a blueprint for making a live-service PVP game.

This is no shade. Maybe leftists do need to accept that AI is happening. I will be honest, I’m not updated on what constitutes leftist dogma at any given time. However, I am seeing a familiar pattern of erasure and co-option that I think is anti-power. One might say it is similar to a psy-op.

New at The Watch: I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution. They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Incredible new Alvin Zhou video on a steak shop in Philly. The editing of the lunch rush section was on point, I don't know if you could capture the pace of a working kitchen any better. Bonus points for highlighting the entire staff as well, I don't see that often enough. youtu.be/aj9cYLcIGLY?...

ICYMI: Here's my op-ed in the NYT today about Trump's occupation of Minneapolis and other American cities, and why it's uniquely dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/o...

I agree & CRT helps us understand how boundaries of whiteness tighten & loosen based on the state's needs. With this extrajudicial murder, they are trying to tighten the boundaries of whiteness to leave out queer white folks who do not comply. Race traitors can always be pushed out of whiteness

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

Well this is right fucking horrifying. apnews.com/article/immi...

Might have to recalibrate my "that'll never get licensed" sensor...

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

Happy birthday to the queen

The first episode of Collateral Damage, my reported podcast with The Intercept, went up today. Hope you’ll check it out and, if you enjoy it, give it a favorable rating or review. Eternal thanks to my producers @lauraflynn.bsky.social and Andrew Stelzer for making it happen.

"WE MAKE NEWS LOUDER. IF STORY GOOD ON ONE SIDE, SHOW OTHER SIDE TOO. OTHER SIDE WRONG? OTHER SIDE WANT BLEACH IN VEINS? ANIMAL RUN BOTH. REPORT BOTH SIDES. EVEN WHEN ONE SIDE THINK HEAD MEDS MAKE QUIET BABIES."

Those are speed holes, they make the car go faster.

No real reason to do this unless you want to drive Black soldiers out of the armed forces.

Attn: @tinakotek.bsky.social I guess you can't take it back now, but announcing flags at half staff for a conservative political activist is a mistake. No Republican will like you any better for doing this, and sure as hell no Democrat will like it, either.
