Locally, in recent weeks especially, our communities have been very well served IMO by @blockclubchi.bsky.social @thetriibe.com @southsideweekly.bsky.social @unraveledpress.com @chicago.suntimes.com @wbez.org They are on the ground doing good work on the daily, give them support/$$ if you are able 💚

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

he was supposed to blow up a side of the courtyard wall with fire magic as his grand entrance but we had to cut it for budget! he went down a nasty angry bigot - just like he would have wanted it!

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

a kleptocracy of shellacked, fake-tan teenagers with receding hairlines, hrt muscles, viagra boners, and entitlement inversely proportional to merit. as bertrand russell put it: “the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.”

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

blade runner actually has a lot in common with dick’s novel in terms of the broad outlines of the plot and the characters but the details and thematic preoccupations don’t really match up, especially once ridley scott went on his “deckard
is a replicant” tear.

javier grillo-marxuach @okbjgm.bsky.social · 1d

indeed - hollywood makes every philip k. dick protagonist into han solo when he always intended them to be george constanza. he was all about the schlubs tortured by runaway tech. and god.

rereading "do androids dream of electric sheep". hard to imagine harrison ford playing the scene where deckard is so ashamed and of owning a fake sheep instead of a rare real animal that he gets in a bickering argument with his smug neighbor over buying a pony, and eventually leaves in a snit.
