the fuck is this kink supposed to be?

It wasn't that long ago that MAGA clumsily appropriated "woke", but a kid today would could be forgiven for imagining it's a legal jargon taught in law school and not a bigoted euphemism. For the love of God, journalists and editors should make anyone who uses it define it. Easy!

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 3w ago

Just once I would love one of these columns to identify precisely what this means. Who, specifically, needs to "acknowledge and reject" wokeness? What would such an acknowledgement look like? Is there anything conservatives need to acknowledge or reject in their own coalition?

Oopsie!

A tribute to Tony Rayns from Apichatpong Weerasethakul: Tony, You were the first person who, at a cinema in Bangkok in 1999, welcomed a stranger with a VHS tape and actually watched it. You remained one of the first to see my films, offering advice and support over almost three decades. (1/3)

Rest easy, Tony.

I said to a programmer, @jamditis.bsky.social, could we take everything I've published online, give it a common home on the internet, and then make searchable everything in that home? "Yes," he said. The background: pressthink.org/2026/07/jay-... The Archive itself: pressthink.org/j/rosen-arch...

I swear to god that no writer lays out moral clarity as plainly and succinctly (and regularly) as @robynelyse.bsky.social. It's easy to not immediately think outside the debate terms of a news cycle, or even remember that there *is* an outside, which is why her tireless reminders are invaluable.
