Booty will save the world.

Wuthering Heights (2026)
dir. Emerald Fennell

In 1931, Aldous Huxley predicted in the future ppl would sedate themselves into state of complacency where they would feel a general happiness.

In 2026: Corporations have decided it is more profitable if Consumers are more paranoid and miserable.

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy's on the line

You shiver, and the city shivers with you.

These emails explain a decade of world politics and the media apparently had no interest in covering them

Jeet Heer @HeerJeet: For whatever neurodivergent reason, Musk is incapable of talking in code and innuendo, which makes his exchanges with Epstein interesting. In this case, the dialogue went something like this: Epstein: do you want to come over to my place for a party, I'll have many interesting people during UN general assembly Musk: (taking Epstein literally) not interested in meeting diplomats, too busy. Epstein: do you think I am retarded? Just kidding. There is no one over 25 and all very cute.

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.

Probably the funniest aspect of many of these RW polemicists is how they try to sound journalistic but folksy at the same time and succeed at neither

always struck whenever i read anything from rufo how it is absolutely clear that he is a dumbass

Every few weeks I fall into a Dhar Mann Rabbit hole on TikTok and it’s always exactly what I don’t need but also I can’t look away

I think you were right, Hugo was trying to shame Washington into not killing him.

I saw an art work by Judith Rothchild that includes excerpts from letter written by Victor Hugo wrote arguing against the execution of John Brown and against slavery, unless I misunderstood.

#BHM

On December 2,1859, Hugo penned an open letter to U.S. citizens, harshly condemning slavery and the impending execution of abolitionist John Brown.

"The murder of Brown would be an irreparable fault... It is certain that it would shake to its center the entire fabric of American democracy."

Ah ok, I’m getting the dates mixed up. Thanks!

“Let America know and ponder on this: there is something more frightening than Cain killing Abel, and that is Washington killing Spartacus.”

— Victor Hugo in an open letter seeking the Pardon of John Brown

Raising the Bastions Hans Urs von Balthasar can help us understand the ongoing practical and spiritual crisis within the Catholic right.

This is an excellent article. Anne always has great insight but I think this article in particular focuses on several misconceptions the Right has with Balthasar but also provides a framework to look past it to what actually matters.

It’s funny how this was the most straightforward win for Marvel and they fucked it up

Three days in and I gotta say…not a fan of 2026 so far.

I’m skeptical of how much of this can be dialed back through peaceful democratic means but at the very least every future candidate at all levels should be asked “how will you commit to reducing Executive power and overreach” and insufficient answers should be a dealbreaker.

Thank you!

In some ways, Green Book is just a remake of Fellowship of the Ring

I think about this book at least once a week.
