"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

Insanely good

I decided to make last year my Year Of Short Stories and after much deliberation these are my top 5 that I read:

Roy by Emma Binder
Especially Heinous: 272 Views of Law & Order by Carmen Maria Machado
Superking Son Scores Again by Anthony Veasna So
Garden of Forking Paths / Inferno I, 32 by Borges

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

I love how sometimes the most impossible task is recovering a thought from ten seconds ago

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Rise—Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

Something fun on the horizon that I’m excited to share:

“Tesla FSD almost killed me today”

Watch Tesla FSD smash through a railroad crossing barrier at 23mph as a train approaches!

Elon Musk your defective software is putting innocent lives at risk. FSD should be banned from public roads.

The afternoon meal included celery and mushroom turnovers, hogweed and dandelion salad dressed with crowfoot and garlic mustard, and leek and onion soup. Back and forth the delicious fare went from paw to paw amid banter, laughter, and animated conversation.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

Great minds!

All the dudes out there with two $1600/month loans on their lifted pickup trucks when gas hits $6/gal

I could have sworn that when I joined Bluesky all those years ago, the promise of an Amy Siskind-free information landscape was inherently on offer.

I think this war could destroy his presidency--I've never felt this about any other issue. He and his gang of nihilist greedhead idiots have finally gotten themselves into something they can't get out of. But the cost will, on every level, be staggering.

Every corporate position these days is basically “I bought the Red Car so I could DISMANTLE it”

In a hotel room, a brick wall that has obviously had a huge hole repaired

Pretty sure the Kool-Aid man stayed in this hotel room once

This rhetoric is so fucking old and busted… msm is truly banking on us being too young or stupid to remember how they covered Iraq and you know what, they might be onto something

We have a youth literacy crisis and yet I haven’t seen a single person suggest bringing back these guys

How Elon Musk’s Sci-Fi Hyperloop Failed Before his misadventures in government efficiency, Musk promised to revolutionize commuting with a subway that would speed passengers between DC and Baltimore in a matter of minutes. The project was a...

"Over the past decade, the Boring Company has dug only a few miles of operational tunnel. It has never cracked $23 million in reported annual revenue…Yet, for reasons inexplicable to anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of high finance, it is valued at $7 billion."

Martha Kelly @MarthaKelly3 How will you avenge the hour stolen from you by Daylight Savings Time? I'm going to push a grandfather clock off a cliff.

calvin: HEY DAD, I'M DOING A TRAFFIC SAFETY POSTER. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR A SLOGAN? calvin’s dad: SURE! "CYCLISTS HAVE A RIGHT TO THE ROAD TOO, YOU NOISY, POLLUTING, INCONSIDERATE MANIACS! I HOPE GAS GOES UP TO EIGHT BUCKS A GALLON!" calvin: THANKS, DAD. I'LL GO ASK MOM. calvin’s dad: WHY ? THAT'S A GREAT SLOGAN!

every day he’s vindicated

if you’re not on TikTok (or insta probably) just letting you know that Courtney Cox mostly posts videos of herself playing the drums

Something fun on the horizon that I’m excited to share:

The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making “false claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

Chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching.

Pressurized pure oxygen.

Raw camel milk.

Under RFK Jr., the FDA has taken down a webpage warning about these and other dangerous remedies claiming to treat autism.
