Putting these @ettingermentum.bsky.social posts here mainly because "One day we will get you that free childcare for your children with names from the Titanic manifest and you will deserve it more than anyone has ever deserved anything" is a perfect sentence.

Listen whatever it is a bunch of people are gonna think it rocks and a bunch of people are gonna think it sucks. The real question here is what the hell a post-Broccoli Bond even looks like

For the next 40 years you can only live, work and travel within one region of the Midwest. Which one do you pick? More about the Midwest: brilliantmaps.com/us-midwest/

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%

Thank you this is exactly who I wanted to weigh in on this

The brilliant voices behind RogerEbert.com asked me to expand my thread on Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY as a pointed assessment of America as “empire at dusk” into a full essay, which I was honored to do. Please read/share—and thanks to @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social @briantallerico.bsky.social for the invite!

"Nolan’s film is not a misbegotten attempt to modernize a classic—it is a deft and purposeful reflection of America in this moment, seen through the glass of mythological metaphor." Jeff Yang writes about THE ODYSSEY and the “people from the sea.”

i'm a subscriber to the verge but i think the written excerpt posted here is a little unfair here. "we have an open protocol we want anyone to be able to build on" isn't really the same as saying "we want nazis on here". most of his response is actually about their work on live events like sports

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
