Three Cups of Tea - If Books Could Kill
In 1993, a desperate man stumbled into a remote village in the foothills of the Karakoram mountains. After the residents nursed him back to health, he placed his hands on the village elder's shoulders...

The breakdown of the police/military distinction is one of those disasters--like the legislature controlling military spending, rather than the executive paying his own private army--that gets at an issue so fundamental to modern politics that the layman lacks the vocabulary to talk about it.
Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · 18h agoVery plausible, but it would be just as illegal and appalling if they WERE involved in drug trafficking.
16. A Man of Iron by Troy Senik A lot more interesting than I was anticipating. A charitable, but not complete whitewash, biography of Grover Cleveland. The modern parallels abound.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is just Twilight for dudes.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day was great, and might be one of my favorite MCU movies since Winter Soldier for a lot of the same reasons.
It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
The First Amendment bars the government from retaliating against disfavored speech. TechFreedom filed comments opposing efforts to deny ABC's license renewals, arguing the FCC lacks the legal & constitutional authority to force early renewals or revoke its broadcast licenses. tinyurl.com/yken9y85
Liberals as a class of political theorist have been organizing behind the principle of "roll over and play dead" since November 2024. So it's not surprising that their big condemnation of the Prairieland defendants is "wow, you bothered trying anything? why didn't you accomplish every radical goal?"
A key Senate committee vote next week won't include AI, but there's a stupid "porn" age verification bill. Why the SCREEN Act is worth your attention: 👉 Age verification required for ANY "interactive computer service" that makes adult content available 👉 IP address verification 👉 VPN restrictions
I Think This Is Truly Fucking Stupid Dislike

The arguments that reducing government restrictions on immigration are in some way equivalent to allowing a “foreign invasion” are the same types of historical arguments that ending State-backed racial segregation amounted to “forced integration.”
Surprise, the World Cup economic "boom" isn't sustainable.
South Downtown’s $140M building boom slows after Atlanta’s World Cup frenzy
South Downtown has been a whirlwind of construction in recent months to get ready for the World Cup, but it’s about to switch from offense to defense.

Lou Koller Was the Best of Hardcore Because He Was the Best of Us I don't know how I got so lucky to know him while he was here. I only know I'll spend the rest of my life grateful that I did punkrockjournalist.com/lou-koller-m... #loukoller #sickofitall #nyhc #RIPloukoller #punkrockjournalist
Rewatching the first season of Heroes for the first time ever, and holy damn is it as good as I remember. Among many other things, it's a rare case of a thoroughly serialized full 22-episode season— no X-Files/ Buffy style monsters of the week, no DS9 wacky adventures with Ferengi...
Remote work is a feminist issue and this study (and NYT op-ed) panning it are just plain silly reason.com/2026/07/27/n...
No, remote work is not making us miserable
The rise of remote work is a tech success story, despite what one new and very convoluted study claims.

The amount of supposed “radicals” still using X to make this Nazi money is insane to me.
2026 giving us the best season of House of the Dragon along with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms makes it feel like the greatest time to be a GOT fan since like 2016.
The DNC is a perpetual mess because it’s powerless and irrelevant, not vice versa. The American party system is so hollowed out it predictably does not attract the ambitious and competent, nor is the rational place for donors to put their money. The RNC has money because it’s a slush fund for Trump.
Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social · last wk.Democratic National Committee is horribly struggling. Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. While DNC is $2 million in debt. Bad management of DNC but also another sign that the energy in the Dem base is for change--not the establishment. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...

Censorship never looks like "X content is banned." The government works around express content bans to achieve censorial effects indirectly, making it harder to identify and fight.
