Get off social media and do literally anything else.

Still socialist. Still buddhist. #YNWA he/him

I post mostly about #LFC, music, and U.S. politics, and that last one only because our politicians are shit.
Sloppy joes for dinner. 😋

It's me with the lines, I don't subscribe to writers on Substack and I left X years ago. If you're posting there, you're missing me. (I'm not important in the least, just pointing out that there are people who will not read writers/view videos that are posted on those platforms.)
I repeat myself, but there is no ethical blogging under capitalism, and people gotta draw their own lines, but you should be aware that many people in your potential audience very much have their own lines and you are crossing them.

I wish there was a way to definitively block ads for certain topics. Because Google/YouTube, I will never ever ever subscribe to Sunday Ticket and you need never show me another ad for it ever again.

In my ongoing crusade against the Liquid Glass aspect of iOS 26, I turned on “Show Borders” in Settings>Accessibility > Display & Text Size. It has some unintended consequences but at least I can read the fucking time on my lock screen clock.

I know nothing about footy and am insane.

That said, here’s the squad I’d start (after consulting with VVD)

Mamardashvili
Jones Gomez Endo Kerkez
Gravenberch
Szoboszlai (c) Mac Allister
Salah Ekitike Chiesa

Also: I’d give Slot at least until the end of the year to work it out with the lads.

New idea: The handle to recline your seat on a plane or coach should be located so that it can only be operated by the person sitting behind you. That way, you have to ask if you can recline and impinge on their space.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

089 & 090. Erasure - Oh L'amour & Victim of Love #vinyl singles

Love Erasure. This is their third single, but it's still one of my favorites of theirs. I knew of Vince's links to Depeche Mode & Yaz/Yazoo and so this was a slam dunk for me. The Victim single is my wife's she's a fan, too. ☺️

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.

Let’s amplify LOVE instead.

I am beaming love at you. Right now.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

I learned that three of the residents’ dogs have died since they were swept, including one hit by a car the other day.

Please go read this story.
Nearly 30 people were forcibly removed from the Thousand Acres recreation area last month, after living unhoused on the public land for years.

Now, they face instability as they try to survive on the streets in the same system that drove them to seek refuge in the wilderness.

Just watched the post-match interview with Slot, his appearance looks like that of a person who has a lot weighing on him. Looks a few pounds lighter. 😔

I’m so glad I clocked this “coded” shit as bunk when I was young, I’m sure I get slagged off as being “beta” or some shit by some for saying this but I enjoy my life. Like I give a fuck, loser. Go “be a man” and repress your feelings and happiness, die miserable & alone. You “won” but at what cost?
So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

If there's one thing the mainstream news media love to overlook, it's the impact of the mainstream news media. The petite Tea Party in all its elite-backed astroturfiness was hailed like a sacred comet; the historically huge No Kings was played down by the NY Times, among other publications.

Excellent from Karl on the Reds. Lots of feelings.

I won't spoil the end but the last line is a great call to the fans.

🧵👇 Get off Meta products. All of them, but specifically Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Especially if you feel strongly about enabling predators targeting children.
“Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.”
