What gets me is that AIPAC is going to turn around & spend on the Republican in the MI Senate race while centrist Dems malign Abdul as a non-Democrat. But it’s fine & party line to support people funded in millions by donors entirely agnostic to their party & only concerned with a foreign country.

ICC CHIEF PROSECUTOR: “Oppose Israel and we will go after your family — You have been warned. Rubio, McConnell sent me a letter… what’s liberating is accepting mortality.”

unless you’ve ever put yourself out there, you can’t possibly know what it’s like to run. you can’t fathom the toll it takes—for those of us with a soul, that is. [note: do NOT put yourself out there. it is very bad out there. 10/10 would not recommend going out there.]

People don’t hate ai enough imo.

And I’m absolutely gonna be a smug dick about it because people have been talking to me CRAZY since the Biden election about shit they CLEARLY did not understand.

Baby let me know when you find them! Just last year EVERYBODY was a political pundit all of a sudden and now that the results of their shallow understanding has finally reared its head, they’ve moved on. What happened? I thought yall were “doing your part?????”

Where did all those experts go?

It’s actually funny how so many people were waving their neck and wagging their fingers behind that lady with the silk press like they were political pundits but now we are in the most political time in human history and it’s SILENT. How tellinggggggg

Happy heavenly birthday, Uncle Lenny

Sean Padilla (He/They) Will Write a Good Song About Anything@seanpadilla.blacksky.app · 2y ago

My uncle Lenny, who died when I was a teenager. He was stoked to learn that I was teaching myself how to play guitar. One of his dying wishes was to have me play for him in the hospital where he spent his final days. My then-stepdad, an asshole, refused to take me. Lenny never got to see me play.

One time for the people who can apologize worth a damn. May your relationships be filled with blissful moments of returning to one another.

Really good piece. "You used to be able to be poor in a city and still live in it." A city dies when its working people cannot afford living there.

Superb piece on the death of Dublin, killed by greed. It's not immigrants who wielded the blade; it's our own, developers and property owners obsessed with squeezing every penny of profit out of the city, on the backs of stressed, overworked people they've priced out of living in it #spéirġorm

I was told they were doing manly stuff with testosterone or something. You're telling me that didn't fix it?

I’ll be here until the end of time, if that’s what it takes. I can’t solve apathy or make anyone care, but I will remind you that pocket change from hundreds of people is helping 21 families survive genocide. Click "weekly/monthly" on JUST a 5. That’s it. chuffed.org/project/hope...

William Irwin Thompson argued that once they reach their mature consolidated phase, revolutions end up being the diametric opposite of the liberation they initially set out to achieve. I think of this one a lot these days, but to my mind Big Brother is a stand-in for data as a source of power.

It is very bad and also very structurally difficult to grapple with that Dems cannot and straight up refuse to jettison the Brett McGurks and Jake Sullivans of the world who basically have the same view of the Middle East as George W Bush lol

absolutely ridiculous platform.

This is Bonggu. His human took this "embarrassing" pic of him napping. Even shared them with us to humiliate him. Jokes on them though because he's still very handsome. 13/10 (IG: hi_bbomabbong_2)

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

The Complications of Graham Platner’s Veteran Identity

How much of Graham Platner’s behavior should be read through the lens of what combat did to him, and how much of it is simply who he is, independent of war?

newyorker.com

"Platner’s first deployment, in early 2005, began at the Abu Ghraib prison complex, part of which the military had rechristened Camp Redemption." missed that detail the first time around!
