its so vital in an era when the value of the written word is getting double fucked cheapened (IE, AI from below and "The Free Press" from above, two bubbles both) people should focus their ire on one of the only surviving, great, non trash non billionaire pet project indie mags

damn, turns out the refugee kids who were hyped as "starving" during a war of ethnic cleansing wherein the denial of humanitarian aid was weaponized against their community ACTUALLY had pre-existing conditions due to being born in an open air concentration camp that exists for Unrelated Reasons

missed the anniversary of this by one day, sorry, but still

a tweet by Francis Fukuyama (yes) dated 10/11/18, reading "Just passed a house with a child's skeleton as a Halloween decoration. People should realize these are not cute; when you see one in reality it is at minimum a human tragedy and at worst a #WarCrimes"

people online are constantly saying shit like "the average person is now post-literate and returning to medieval peasant mindset" while neglecting the corollary, namely that our elite aristos are once again scrying for angels, summoning demons, distilling elixirs of eternal life, etc.

sorry sorry but I keep thinking about the story (read: lie) Mike Lindell tells about how all the crack dealers in his area got together and made a pact behind his back to cut him off because they were worried about him wasting his potential. TL;DR, at the end of the day, we all just want to be loved

don't worry folks, I've been decocting sundry elemental salts in an OG instapot for ten years straight and am now just moments away from distilling a VC philosopher's stone that will allow us to transmute BPA plastics into endless heaps of Rubidium, Yttrium, Scandium, etc

You solve homelessness with homes.

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.
