why would anyone in iran hate the US? all we did was overthrow their government, sanction them, spend decades saying we wanted to melt their country into glass, fund their psychotic genocidal neighbors, break our treaties with them, bomb them, and start a war with them

25 years after the tired American cliche of “why do they hate us,” helped instigate two forever wars (Afghanistan + Iraq), this is how @nytimes.com chooses to explain Iran’s political system:

apropos of nothing the frederik meijer sculpture garden sucks total ass. worst art museum shaped place i've ever been. everyone there was dressed like shit, interpretation is bad, vibe is depressing, gift shop has nothing good, stinks of devos.

I'll tell you something else deeply meaningful to me today: @archipelagobooks.bsky.social is publishing Sevgi Soysal's "Walking." It's the first translation I've sponsored, something I've wanted to do for a long time. When I read Soysal's "Dawn," I knew I wanted to see her other work in print.

reading a japanese poet's travelogue written in 2001 and he describes the fallen twin towers as having been "beautiful." then he visits aztec ruins in mexico and has a fantasy about a land with a violent past of mass murder and human enslavement

the other day i got lightly scolded by a usps employee for trying to use forever stamps to mail plastic templates for making geometric shaped pieces of paper that are themselves used in shaping fabric for quilting by hand (english paper piecing) b/c she said forever stamps are only for "documents"

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

maybe producing CO2 for its own sake is the real purpose of the internet now and the text is just there to trick us into thinking there's something else going on (chris behroozian does a gay pinup calendar i love, he's talking about photography in this interview, not music)

This is a fascinating convo with @oyousef and something I’ve suspected about both white supremacist and anti-abortion orgs for a long time. The vibes give MLM x cult and apparently, in fact, the vibes are MLM x cult

Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...

i'm reading "wrong: a critical biography of dennis cooper" by diarmuid hester - there's so much essential contextual information that the first few chapters are barely about dennis cooper at all. a political and communal discourse of poetry, including poetry that represents indifference & isolation

That underground injection sites are observably leaking this much fracking wastewater - visible radioactive liquids laced with heavy metals - raises pretty significant questions about how reliable underground CO2 sequestration could be. CO2 is invisible and odorless. How would we even catch leaks?

The state is a major importer of fracking wastewater, which gets pumped underground but doesn’t always stay there. The city of Marietta is fighting back.
