people joke about what experiencing even the banalities of modern society would do to a medieval peasant, but here's a German tourist from a small farming village who says some Times Square salsa verde physically incapacitated him gothamist.com/food/theres-...
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
Markwayne Mullin and Tommy Tuberville doing cable hits all day to see who's the dumbest Republican senator
I've taken the paywall off this piece I wrote about the wonderful art my mum and dad have been making in their 60s and 70s, which is also about the general (underacknowledged) concept of late-blooming creativity. I hope a few of you might find a moment to read it: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...
Has Julie K Brown won a Pulitzer?
Cause she needs to win a Pulitzer

The reverse alchemy of turning gold into tin in the amount of time it takes a fascist to chug a beer.
This is true in rougly the same sense that a guy on the subway reeking of urine, screaming, and waving a knife around is “feared.”
It’s great (derogatory) that you can work very hard to find out something incredibly important, and the main response you will get is a derisive “Gee, I’m shocked.”
Somebody has to ACTUALLY DO THIS WORK! You can’t pursue justice by going “Your honor: I mean, duh.”
How much longer?
It’s the doubling down of it all that hurts so bad. Like, doesn’t anyone even listen to the preacher story about the two boats and the helicopter?
Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
I have channeled all the rage and sorrow I've accumulated over a decade of working in shelters into a poem - "My Hope For You" - that is out now in the latest issue of @templeinacity.bsky.social

The film WHITE NIGHTS should be a Broadway musical. Hell, it could be a jukebox based on its own soundtrack, which is 100 percent bangers end-to-end. “Separate Lives?!” Are you kidding me? This is my best idea, ever.
I MADE myself eat them when my gallbladder started fritzing out. Apparently, they’re good for thinning bile! 😬 They saved me from many attacks.
Despairing of Dawson defined my career (and found me a bestie for the ages, not for nothing). I owe the Beek a lot, and I hope he's found rest.
Ding-Dong, the Witch is Dead
ALSO: in re: Epstein, why does NO ONE talk about his historical entanglement with Bill Barr and what that came to mean? I know there are so many puzzle pieces to how we got here, but some of them have been so glaringly obvious all along.
I knew Bannon was and still is behind it all. I’m sure Roger Stone is, as well. There will be no reckoning until those weeds are fully exposed.
kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s
"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social
one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
Sometimes I just think of this and laugh so hard I cry. #Bergeron

I can't believe we're gonna get to buy our Halloween costumes at the damn Kennedy Center.
Right Ho, Jeeves. — P.G. Wodehouse
Turning us all into “cord-cutters” was another way they made us dumb. Who regularly watches the news to any real degree of depth anymore?
Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
Thank you for saying something, but this is not enough.
This is the country we’ve created
for our children and grandchildren-
It seems to be the best that
rich old white men
have to offer
