Based and Superstructured

I like to tell students "I did not ask you to solve these differential equations because I needed them solved" and sometimes the light goes on.

Again, the weights in the gym do not require being picked up and put down.

quick question what the fuck

There are just so many hail storms out there y'all jfc #ilwx

I saw someone ask why non-MAGA Christians are "silent" right now in the face of Christian Nationalism, when in reality local religious groups are some of the most vocal I've seen, even leading very visible protests in my town.

I feel some kind of way about people saying that we are docile cowards when we are being shot in the streets and teargassed on the regular and the response so many have is to figure out where they can go to add their bodies to the list of those willing to die to try to stop fascism from taking over.

I really don't think people understand the degree of organization that is happening in so many regular neighborhoods in America.

This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards.

Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.

It is really hard to overstate how much damage has been done to this country on a purely institutional level, and we have three more years of this shit.

It is really obvious to me that this has happened because I know what this used to look like and what you could once expect from the DOJ.

I imagine that this is true in just about every other field where the US once had experts.

The US has, in slightly over a year, torched what was once one of the best repositories of legal talent (the DOJ) in favor of...uh...total hacks now struggling under an impossible workload made all the more impossible by an administration that is acting without even the faintest color of law.

Our societal systems have elevated to untold power and wealth the most bent and twisted humans among us, people who exploit their fellow humans to such a degree they learn to scorn humanity. Little wonder the tools they build seek to eliminate the problem of humans from the equation of society.

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

Every second of free time you have ever had in your life was subsidized by the existence of the combine harvester.

Is anyone else experiencing debilitating amounts of dread?

our common life depends upon each other's toil

War is always evil but it is particularly evil when it is so so so stupid.

“this whole thing smacks of a gender” i holler as i overturn the global economy and turn the down jones industrial average into the industrial shit

It’s too easy to go to war

megachurch model busted. cool pastor model broken. it is time to rediscover the divine ecstasy of manifesting stigmata while preaching to woodland creatures during a 40 day fast reduces you to a flame-faced feral oneness with God.

C’mon, that’s a London tube station, not a ballplayer.

Found in Chicago.

i wrote a paper in my college class on the french revolution about how so many schools of history portray the revolution as the nearly inevitable outcome of long term trends in france when i think the truth is it was the highly improbable product of a cascade of micro-level fuck ups by Louis XVI

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Hello—here’s the official trailer for UNDERLAND, based on my book of the same name, dir. by Rob Petit, with a haunting, glittering score by @hannahpeel.bsky.social, & the ‘Storyteller’ voiced by Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest). Hope you like it.
