Reading through some of the top comments on the NYTs latest story about Zohran Mamdani
People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Kay Coghill, PhD.@drkalyncoghill.blacksky.team · last yr.I found a google chrome extension that seemingly gets rid of the AI overview when you search on google from desktop. LIFE CHANGING. Cause I was SICK of that shit. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-...
How did I only learn today—as the episode played on a restaurant TV—that the classic Adam West Batman included an arc with a villain called The Bookworm, whose henchmen include Pressman, Printer’s Devil, & Typesetter??!! Look at them in their printer’s caps!!! batman.fandom.com/wiki/The_Boo...
This is exactly how librarians have been blamed for cuts to library budgets for decades. "You didn't do enough to communicate your value." What that really means is "you don't make any profit, and profit is the only legitimate value an organization can produce."
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · last yr.You hear this a lot on the left but it isn't true. USAID did not "fail to tell its story to Americans," the right targeted the agency with lies and misinformation. Ultimately this narrative turns conservative attacks into even more calls for the left to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/o...
I have to say that growing up in the pop rock/alt/fueled by ramen fandom as well as 90/aughts comics/fantasy/sci I am used to being surrounded by misogyny/misogynoir. And yet, as I catch up on the John Wick series to prepare for Ballerina I must say I miss the variety of women kicking ass.

I’m glad I finally found the love of my life before the world ends in nuclear warfare or some other stupid shit, but also, come on, wtf
Way too many people don't get that christian dominionism is apocalyptic accelerationism VERY LITERALLY SEEKING to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world. That is not hyperbole or misinterpretation or a joke. And they have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power.
Sarah Posner@sarahposner.bsky.social · 3y agoDo not lose sight of the role that American evangelical are playing in cheerleading for war in the Middle East, relishing it in fact: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.
One of the reasons AI is so insidious: 90% of good writing is sitting around and trying to figure out what the hell you're going to write next. I spent more time staring into the void at my laptop than I do writing the actual text.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last yr.The idea that pools can be a “third place” for people to meet and chill has existed for decades, @olgakhazan.bsky.social writes. Clean, swimmable water shouldn’t be something only the rich can access.
you want me to give up *research*? a priceless skill that also leads to all kinds of rabbit holes and the fizzing excitement of satisfying my curiosity? are you bananas

Wellness is the degraded Calvinism that says you are one of the elect who will be spared the coming inferno if you demonstrate adequate virtue (low enough bmi).
