I love when white people suddenly start exposing how many white supremacists they surround themselves with by pretending it's a normal, universal experience.

How many believably leftist politicians built up truly leftist politics have an uncovered Totenkopf tattoo for 20 years, do you think

Screenshot of a Matteo Franceschetti tweet. The tweet has a photo of black boxes with the word 'Sleep' on big bold font on the black boxes. The tweet reads:

MISSION COMPLETED. The @eightsleep Pods have been delivered to @DOGE. I hope this will super charge @elonmusk and the incredible team to shape the future of America. Let's go.

I've had expensive things like this that turn out to be impossible to clean properly

I have a feeling that in 5 months of buying it, there's algae that grows in there and then, if they're lucky, on the second time the person gets sick from drinking from it they catch on and throw it in the trash

I'm speaking tomorrow at @portersqbooks.bsky.social in Cambridge MA (and livestreamed online!) in conversation with Professor Sarah Cole, my former acquisitions editor at John Murray Press without whom Useless Etymology would not exist. We'll talk word origins, publishing, creative process and more.

One of the Big On Theory people had replied with non-answers now has blocked me. I really respected them

Honestly - I'm sad and hurt. I was asking earnestly. The worst part is they called me a liberal asking them a gotcha question

I'm getting a feeling that a lot of the Big On Theory Socialists are just full of shit. They have replied to my questions about their 'No Kings march is dangerous to the social justice movement' with non-answers and silence

Thinking of getting back into religion lol

Hello!!

If you have a tech person, maybe it'd be good to let them know the website "girlieshort.com" is not loading for me, in Quebec, Canada, using Firefox.

However, CURL returns only an HTML anchor link? Very weird!

Give the tech person these pics, they'll know what to do!

Screenshot of my Firefox browser, showing an error message, which reads: the connection has timed out. At the bottom of the screen is the browser's Web Tools.

Screenshot of my terminal window with the command for 'curl girlieshort.com', which gives as a response a link to https://seedandspark.com/fund/girlie .

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Additionally, what are your thoughts on this: since there were 2 million more people in this No Kings march than last time, doesn't that mean that the last march did work in mobilizing people?

Serge Boonard (supportive) @sergebenard.myatproto.social · 5h

Shaka please - can you be a teacher to me and answer the question I've asked twice before?

You've said the No Kings march is harmful to the social justice movement because it would result in inaction. If the people who were not active before the march remain inactive after, where lies the harm? 1/2
