Democrats: Stop framing everything in terms of the next US election. Fuck your election. What are you doing to protect us NOW from getting our heads caved in by jackbooted thugs paid by the US government? Unscramble your brains from politics as usual and focus on the immediate emergency.

I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

Dems cannot be allowed to turn the page on this. They can’t be allowed to just move on. The country will heal when everyone involved in this is prosecuted and in prison

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
Eyewitness account: Good morning, My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction. I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend. As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it. We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

more generations need to discover M*A*S*H
charlesemersonwinchesteriii: hey quick question why did no one ever tell me how fucking insane M*A*S*H is?? their commanding officer is a horse girl. the secretary has psychic powers. this guy walks around a 1950s military outpost in drag and everyone's just like hey nice dress. the protagonist who is supposed to be the best surgeon in the entire korean war spends every episode strutting around drunk in a hawaiian shirt making homoerotic wisecracks and asking the nurses to step on him like some sort of unhinged bisexual jimmy buffet. guys what the hell is going on in this army doctor show surreal-static: isn't it beautiful?

obviously what counts for paywall content and what doesn't is gonna be subjective, but i do think it's incumbent on media outlets, especially large ones, to make public information, well, public
So for opinion writing, keep it behind a paywall. You want to have interviews with actors or singers? Keep it behind a paywall. But when it comes to hard news, paywalls don’t just limit readership, they create kind of a tiered citizenry, where one group can afford to know what the government is doing in their name and the other can’t. And it falls along predictable lines. The communities most likely to be surveilled, policed, detained, or deported are the same communities least likely to be able to afford news subscriptions.

My annual exhortation for anyone who Likes Discovering Music to jump on board the #PeoplesPop25 music poll, which kicks off today. 256 tracks from the year just ended across a colossal range of styles. Way more eye-opening and engaging then yer average Top 100 Albums /Songs Of The Year poll!

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.
