i don't know who needs to hear this but remember that labels are tools. their value is dependent strictly on their utility. they are descriptive, not prescriptive. labels are not immutable and if they lack function then you can disregard them.

There have only ever been 75 yokozuna (grand champions) in sumo history. Two of them are in London today, and it’s fairly likely we’ll get to see them wrestle each other. On iPlayer from 2pm, bouts from about 2:30pm.

It's wild how much it feels like people are desperate to memory hole this entire phenomenon, to me. How viciously everyone who pointed out the emperor had no clothes were criticized. How content they all seem to be to let the biggest wealth transfer of the decade just fade out w/o REAL examination.

I just saw a Goth account praise ICE, and make racist comments about Latinos.

Motherfucker, you are a GOTH. There IS no goth today without Chicanos and Mexicans. They are almost single-handedly keeping it alive. That’s like being antisemitic but building your identity around Manishewitz.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.
