Me (stepping out of a time machine in 1982 Vancouver): Excuse me, sir, Mr. Gibson? Can I call you Bill? Listen, I need you to be much less morally ambiguous. In your fiction sir. Every third sentence be like "AND THAT WAS BAD!" It's important. For the future.

The Trump administration is looking into the controversial idea of empowering private companies to "hack back" at adversaries, a top DHS official said at Black Hat today.

i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten

"it looks like you're using an adblocker to visit our site." yep! ha ha! it rocks!

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

I wish to do the book game! I have many book thoughts! #1 - probably Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, because I'm a survival story sicko

To flag this and expand: there is a visceral, community-wide, impactful sense of terror that is at times paralyzing, at times physically disabling, and is affecting families in ways large and small. Kids and babies are affected when mom or dad is feeling this. It’s hitting churches and businesses.

The sense of fear is absolutely palpable.

okay I have now seen Christopher Nolan Presents Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey: A Matt Damon Adventure. and my review is, I can't believe anyone got mad at Emily Wilson's review on behalf of this genuinely quite bad film

This is obviously very bad, and also ICE has been radically expanding the use of ankle monitors for over a year at this point. I meet immigrants with ankle monitors nearly ever week.

ICE doubled its use of ankle monitors for legal immigrants in the past year: ‘A very harmful phenomenon’

Agency uses devices, which are uncomfortable and interfere with employment, to push people to self-deport, advocates say

Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that

Finally long after the discourse wars have ended, but I have seen The Odyssey (the movie). I did not like it. Thought the horse was cool, though! Nice horse!

CAMEROON?????

On the one hand, there's something beautiful about this, because it means I have an identity and a life beyond my time in academia On the other hand there's profound grief at the loss of a life that was so central to me for so long

Immigration court volunteering is such a weird/special social scene, because I'm deeply bonded to my fellow volunters and also we know so little about each other. Someone I've volunteered with *every week* for the last six months just found out I have a PhD.

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

Me: I had the WORST day. Nothing can come close Katy Perry, recently trapped in a giant bottle because fans refused to roll her towards the stage: Hm

Hello everyone! Many of you likely saw this image recently with the Apple TV+ 'Neuromancer' promotion. Some know, others don't, but this artwork is mine, created alongside actor & post-production artist Milton Menezes, as a personal project and a homage to the original Neuromancer romance

LinkedIn posts about The Odyssey highlight a kind of business mentality where art cannot be enjoyed for art's sake or even provoke introspection, it has to be turned into some sort of inspiration content for how to be more productive, entrepreneurial, or a better leader.

theres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often

Even as a longtime observer of heterosexual nonsense, this goes somewhere I simply could not have eye-magined

🌿@kxdyn.bsky.social · last wk.

hello bsky, can someone who is an esteemed expert of hetero culture please explain to me — what in the f’ck did i just watch??

Okay, wading into the discourse, but some of these critiques of Emily Wilson are smacking a LITTLE BIT of misogyny We've got the classic "how dare this woman critique this genius man" thing, and also a lot of "LADY intellectuals don't understand MALE mass culture" vibes

I think it's absolutely good & fine for people to disagree with the essay's points but it is baffling to see complaints like "Wilson doesn't get that an adaptation makes changes" or "Wilson doesn't get cinema" or "Wilson should be more polite & gracious," like come on friends what are we doing here!

You can't lure me into the Odyssey discourse. I'm stuffing my ears with wax! I'm tying myself to my mast! I'm distracting myself with the only greek mythology adaptation that really matters (Hadestown!)

So I'm guessing most people on bsky are not familiar with "1, 2, 3 Soleils" so I'm going to give a little primer! 1, 2, 3 Soleils is the live album of a massive concert in Paris in 1998, which brought together Rachid Taha, Khaled, and Faudel, three generational talents of Raï (Algerian pop music)

"(regardless of our military support)" is a hilarious thing to just toss in there as a parenthetical. Like, no, you've identified why it is our problem.

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

The use of extremely online memetic aesthetics to support far-right political goals is like something out of Walter Benjamin’s nightmares.

Begging someone to commission me to recap the Neuromancer TV show. I'm funny, I'm smart, I have a cute cat (it's relevant), and I would pepper recaps with obscure 1980s silicon valley gossip.
