“It’s a shame that the language of ball culture, created by people of colour to help them resist The Powers That Be, was taken by a white guy and marketed to mainly white celebrities.”

Yeah. That.

Ari Drennen, journalist and LGBTQ+ director at Media Matters, tweeted the above on 14/10/25. There are three ways I can think of to analyse her comments:

I hope they bulldoze Monticello next and replace it with a Trump golf course. That would own the antifas so bad!

Watching excavators destroy the East Wing of the White House feels like watching an old, familiar foe getting killed by a new, worse foe.

It feels like that part in a JRPG where the villain you fought for the first half of the game gets killed by the one you'll fight for the second half.

POLITICO is dropping more text msgs, this time from Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, Paul Ingrassia, who reportedly said MLK Day should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak.” His Senate confirmation hearing is Thursday.

The AWS outage exposes again that “the cloud” isn’t magic, it’s infrastructure. The issue isn’t a cyberattack, it’s architectural over-reliance on a handful of cloud giants. We centralized the internet and then made our entire lives dependent on it.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

The hashtag resist types - and prominent media figures - who go on here, share AI image garbage, and say things like “it doesn’t matter if it’s real as long as the image is effective” are kinda terrifying tbh

If we too are passing off AI slop as reality we’re in an even darker place than we thought

Hello friends. I lost my job this month, and it occurs to me that now is time to take a big swing at something. If you ever wanted to work with me, bring on an expert researcher, editor, creative writer and storyteller, work with an experienced singer/lyricist/guitarist, whatever, hit me up.

With everything that's been going on, I missed this POS showing up at an official meeting with Zelenskyy wearing a Russian tie. What kind of utter asshole do you have to be to disrespect a world leader trying to save the lives of his people and their democracy. Hey Pete, go fuck yourself asshole.

There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now

Marge Simpson (now canonically born in 1995 but with a voice like wind through a mausoleum): oh wow, IShowSpeed, the American YouTuber and online streamer

lydelle buster @babyshoes4cash.com · 1d

simpsons added a few kids to springfield who are born this century and it makes sense for a lot of reasons but also i cant help but think 'Bart is thirty years older than that other kid'

still from The Simpsons Season 37 Episode 2 - two yellow kids are in a server room. one (kid with blue hair buzzed on the sides and wearing an orange and black cardigan) has a blank, surprised expression, and the other (the famous bart simpson) looks at him with mild contempt

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.

The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

Saeed Jones @theferocity.bsky.social · 1d

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

Flipped to The Big Lebowski on Showtime at just the moment that John Goodman unctuously said "Pilar?" to kick off the Larry Is This Your Homework scene. Auspicious. Big week coming.
