Schizachyrium scoparium

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

why are these sweaty centrists always so eager to have lunch with racists and fascists? or rather, get other people to hang out with them and maybe see where they’re coming from?

this whole thing smacks of gender

i'm not motivated by money, i'm not motivated by anything

you know what no im not gonna try harder this world doesnt deserve my effort

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

extremely bold to subsidize the purchase of overpriced, oversized vehicles during a climate crisis. more like turd way am i right

stay woke or go broke

lost was so ahead of its time in this regard (derogatory)

you can only do this so many times. gulf of america had a little momentum behind it and trump voters live there. but the smallest great lake just to spite a very benign neighbor? using “america” again instead of getting slightly creative/symbolic with naming? it’s got no juice.

Human rights lawyer Wu Shaoping barely escaped arrest in his native China in 2019. The anti-communist Christian convert applied for asylum, made it to Pa. - doing it all the right way But in Trump's wretched America, the gulag is one traffic stop away My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/wu-s...

you'll never know how to love art if you don't let it confuse you 🙂

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

this is how i find out jesus christ keep them coming

it’s hot as shit and i did a million cleans and squats at the gym this morning and today really had me wishing for an electric assist. e-bikes are great, even if you’re fit and have a short commute.

Obviously this is excellent, detailed, and in many ways pretty terrifying - essential reading for anyone with even a passing concern for literature, thought, learning etc. I would only add that there is an even broader crisis here around attention. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

it’s very cathartic to slap a car after a driver’s transgressions but shit like this is why i stopped doing it. it turns drivers into homicidal maniacs when you touch their cars, it pops the bubble of their invincibility and they gotta threaten to run you over to reassert dominance.

i was just wondering how Jonathan Ross, the guy who killed Renee Good, was doing. did Minneapolis PD ever arrest him? at least his coworkers are out there reminding the public that Ross killed an unarmed woman and they don’t want us taking about it.

gonna need some blood and soil leftists to square this circle of being nativist but also presumably pro-immigrant and pro-lgbt

once for texas independence day i served lone star beer in a glass with a beautiful queso rim. there’s some r&d to make sure the queso sticks a little better but i still think i should get royalties when maudie’s introduces this great idea.

Truly wild research on the change in bike mode share in NYC, London, Paris and Berlin. Between 2000 and 2023, Paris went from 1 out of every 100 trips being on a bike to *one out of 9!* Many people, including credible researchers, would have told you that that *could not* happen.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

it’s really too bad that urban land use is so disproportionate to what people want. like 5% of urban land provides what 39-47% of americans yearn for.

In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"

OPINION: "The outrageous lies of Trump regime, from ICE shootings to a Commerce Secretary's Epstein falsehoods, must be punished ... America desperately needs truth and consequences." — Inquirer columnist Will Bunch

this and using the phrase “make america —— again” grinds my gears too. i know it was an effective campaign slogan. it’s also reactionary and you should come up with something that doesn’t reference the return of american fascism.

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans. Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror. Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

@repbrendanboyle.bsky.social something to consider

wow really helpful, thank you new york times

everyone is dunking on this take for good reason but cities of the plain definitely reinforced my love for the finest in cheap bourbons, old granddad. thank you cormac mccarthy.
