Really nice work here. I've got some solid digging ahead of me! Thank you so much.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

🥰 Yes! But I also love pancakes and waffles and am unable to pass up an opportunity to discuss

newnumbertwo @newnumbertwo.bsky.social · 3d

Don't pour it over the pancake, put some syrup on the plate and put the pancake on top of the syrup...

I am, however, included on a list entitled "Genocide simps and most hated by Edward Said" which sorta proves my earlier point about zealot-maintained blocklists. I think this might have happened before the election when I commented about how voting wasn't an expression of personal virtue, etc.

“Now Scientific American has updated and re-released what it calls the “classic graphic” that shows that a human on a bicycle—able to coast, or freewheel, without pedaling—remains the world’s most energy effecient traveler.” @carltonreid.com on the re-release of the iconic graph in @forbes.com.

Today I discovered I'm being blocked by 65 accounts, and I feel very neutral/unemotional about this

I am in full support of this comment. Have you tried the syrup on bottom trick? Not ashamed to say I learned that from the acclaimed TV series "Bosch", either.

This is the way - but my advice is to check the blocklist carefully prior to subscription, some are run by zealots who will reply to a comment like "the Biden administration was halfway decent on antitrust issues" with "so what you're really saying is you support the genocide of the Palestinians?"

I have multiple times now seen people remark the volume of hatred they get on Bluesky for pretty anodyne opinions.

...Got no idea what they're talking about. I've never seen it.

Because I went through blocklisting follow networks of the most virulent dipshits on this website.

Free and clear since

Not sure I've ever heard "having billionaire sugar daddies" defined as entrepreneurship, but you do you.

Which cartels did they destroy from top to bottom?

Please, Fox, do the right thing and follow the Trumps’ advice and prohibit any D pol from appearing on your network. Maybe then the consultant class will stop offering up their clients as that day’s Emmanual Goldstein.

Wishful thinking, I realize.

This is a lovely essay that echoes my own childhood with extraordinary fidelity. I grew up on a farm so was only able to play D&D with friends occassionally; as a result I spent a lot of my time creating & refining elaborate dungeon maps, going through reams of graph paper. Thank you for sharing!

i think we are living through, in the US at least, a significant gender backlash and part of it is absolutely elite-driven.

I always love it when law enforcement appropriates the Punisher logo, not understanding that Frank Castle aka the Punisher, actually hates law enforcement and felt forced into vigilantism due to the impotence & outright corruption of law enforcement. He literally rips his logo off cop uniforms.

I wasn't disappointed, I pretty much knew what I was getting myself into, but I just have a preference for things that have tension & release, polychromatism, the less is more aesthetic. It was a mile wide and not an inch deep, but let's say it was 6 inches deep. I dug the bell sounds and vocal bits

It was my fourth time seeing Autechre, I think this is the 4th decade I've experienced them in. Somebody asked me if they always sounded like this. I never know how to respond, I guess I'd say earlier performances had more to dig into and appreciate. Maybe I'm just desensitized at this point.

Saw Autechre & Mark Broom tonight. Somebody told me Mark is a big hardgroove DJ, but I don't really know what hardgroove is. He played a variety of stuff. Dug it. Was my fourth time seeing Autechre, the first 40 minutes were great. After that absence of contrast started to get tiring. 6/10 night.

I really hope that some future POTUS has the good sense to raze this abomination to the ground.

Bill Burr wasn't paid for his comedy, but to generate quotes like these.

newnumbertwo @newnumbertwo.bsky.social · 21d

The way their gear shaked while they ran tells me that dress-up is more important to many of them than actual performance, and somebody way smarter than me about these sorts of things should investigate the possibility of leveraging this observation into an oppositional tactical advantage.
