luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Man, I warned people about this guy YEARS ago and everybody was like, whatever Spiers, you’re terminally online, internet brain poisoned, this cannot possibly be important

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In the aftermath of sobbing at a funeral a few weeks ago I spent a lot of time thinking about the grief debt. Grieving we owe - to ourselves, I guess - from the pandemic that just keeps piling up, interest compounding in the worst ways.

The first time I heard people complaining about what we call DEI now was in the mid 90's. The people complaining? White teenage cishet males. They were complaining that there was no point in them applying to join the RCMP because "they weren't hiring white men" and that "affirmative action",...1/4

Horrible crap buried in the 389 page behemoth Congress is trying to shove down our throats: blocking any state from regulating AI for the next decade. If you don’t want to bow down to tech bros in this way, get involved at fairshareusa.org www.techpolicy.press/us-house-com...

Time to be mildly controversial because it's a personal identity thing: The majority of us in Canada and the USA are not "middle class", we're living in a post-war rebranding lie. We're working class. Still. But we drive ourselves into debt trying to make it look like we're richer than we are. 1/5

Ryan Coogler discusses his contract for #Sinners “I’ve been in the industry long enough to know what kinds of deals are possible, and nothing about this deal is a new thing ... I asked for a few things for this project ... for what it was about and what it meant for my family" 🎥 Democracy Now

Treating my brain kindly, stopping before I sink into a spiral, taking a walk and we've got nice weather for the weekend – #PhotosynthesizeMeDaddy, pics of tulips from the walk. 🌷 And a link to @thomsimonson.com's new short story! urbanbohemian.com/2025/04/18/s... #blog 💖

Today at the protest downtown, white organizers with 50501 called the police on a vendor for selling Black Panther merchandise in their protest even though he only had a small table and stayed out of the public right of way. Here is the vendor’s statement:

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

This is an example of how nostalgia for the old days is simply nostalgia for when you were younger. The idea that America was a post-racial society in the 1970s/1980s only makes sense if you were literally a child at that time and couldn’t observe what any adult was experiencing.

I recently heard a black woman say she doesn’t believe in affirmative action because she doesn’t want white people to think she didn’t earn her accomplishments …. I just want to remind yall. If our ancestors gaf what white ppl thought of us, we would still be enslaved. Fucking free yourselves.

Literally what everyone critical of AI predicted would happen. With AI, there's no incentive to learn or understand the mechanisms of what its doing. So creativity, skill level, and critical thinking atrophy.
