Without a doubt.

Haus of Decline@hausofdecline.bsky.social · 4h ago

I am not joking when I say this is one of the few movies in recent memory that addresses exploitation of the working class in an immediate and visceral way. This is the problem of our times. OpenAcme. Acmethropic. Making their living off the pain of 'the resilient.'

Profound and simple at the same time. I’ll be reading this many times in the future.

Something has really bothered me about the Gloria Steinem discourse—something that's not really about Gloria Steinem. So, I wrote about it.

If you see me in real life between now and November 6, I may look like this for a moment or two. It’ll pass.

If you know, you know. RIP to a true fullback.

Matt Suhey, whose ‘career spanned the Chicago Bears’ greatest decade,’ dies at 68

I hit shuffle on a playlist and Across 110th Street is the first song. Good shit.

Eating a plum while contemplating.

Excellent light scholarship thread, especially regarding emails and texts. Not sure how to remedy that, tho, as texting in particular seems to be the dominant form of communication.

c0nc0rdance@c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 3d ago

Let's do some light scholarship on this claim: "90% of communication is non-verbal" It's based on two published studies: Mehrabian & Wiener, 1967 Mehrabian & Ferris, 1967 And it's better expressed as the 55/38/7 formula: 55% body language 38% tone of voice 7% words spoken. I'll explain.

Had a dream that was pretty much what I should’ve excepted after getting blazed and watching Coyote Vs Acme. Wild.

Twisted one up and about to check out Coyote Vs Acme, as someone approaching 50 does.

My dialect test says I’m from Illinois, and the map is bright red in IL, WI, and MN. SHOCKING! Seriously, though…it’s also bright red in Florida?!? That’s strange to me.

I’m crazy. Allow me to amaze thee.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7. This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

Crib to myself this weekend. Might go see Isaiah Rashad tomorrow. Or might go see Coyote Vs Acme. Might not do either because I have a home observation an hour away Saturday morning. All kinda mights this weekend.

Absolutely this…

For the oppressed, joy is a powerful act of resistance. People want you depressed. People want you gone. People want you dead. They are working tirelessly towards that goal. That’s why you have to live. Joyfully. And truthfully. To yourself. Even if it’s just to spite them.

I’m on the Hennepin County Fatality Review Team and the Advisory Board for the team. We review domestic homicides in Henn Co to determine where interventions were missed and create recommendations for legislation to try to avoid these tragedies. Our group is being cut as of 12/31. 1/2

Kat Rohn@rohnkat.bsky.social · 6d ago

We deserve better. We can ask for better. "We have been told that we will now see a 20% cut to these life-saving services in the state of Minnesota starting on January 1 of this coming year, 2027." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

A. This poor baby. B. Fuck the police.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 6d ago

Leaders of a Mississippi city where police shot and killed a 1-year-old Black child in June have unanimously voted to fire its police chief amid a new controversy.

I’ve been having this exact conversation with anyone who would listen. Identify an issue (teen pregnancy), legislation passed which leads to successful outcome (drop in teen pregnancy), complain about obvious consequence decades later (drop in birth rate). Never good enough, always a problem.

I Travel Like Sound Dog@chadstanton.blacksky.app · 7d ago

Re LRP I cannot emphasize enough how we’re living in the ostensible dream reality of conservatives in the very recent past. Crime is down overall and particularly in cities like Chicago and Baltimore, teen pregnancy is down, drug and alcohol use is down among young people …AND YET

Been waiting for something like this. Good stuff.

Dave Byrnes@djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 7d ago

New: Chicagoland lawyer and anti-ICE activist Rob Held, a frequent attendee of protests outside the Broadview, IL ICE facility, has filed a federal suit against the village of Broadview over its enforcement of a "protest zone" near the facility. The protest zone, Held said, violates his 1A rights.

This spider spun the most massive web outside my back door in less than a couple hours. Dude put in work!

John Cusack just caught a foul ball at Wrigley then threw it behind him for another fan to have.

Neither the boy nor I feel too hot today, but we’re going to the Great Minnesota Get Together anyways.

And once you have such a specific example like this one, you see it repeated over and over everywhere…

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

Really diggin’ this whole album. Love how she finally got to sing over this beat after all these years. The original (shoutout Mobb Deep and Kool G Rap) is a banger and she does it right.

Monstrous. Israeli military is carting away millions of tonnes of rubble – including human remains – to erase war crimes evidence. Debris is being loaded onto nearly 100 Israeli trucks daily, which are leaving the Gaza Strip for undisclosed sites. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

Oh shit, Erykah and ALC finally dropped?!?

Had no idea an eclipse occurs tonight. Looks lovely.
