The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!
Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!
I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”
It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
This news comes almost eight years to the day after the Sandy Hook families first filed their defamation lawsuit against Infowars. If the situation is as I believe it to be, the deal still has to be approved by a judge. More soon -
Hi. This is embarrassing and stressful, but I am at risk of eviction. So I am requesting aid. I have been unable to find work and am now three months behind on rent and six on utilities. I would be grateful for any assistance or sharing. Thank you for considering. Peace. ko-fi.com/bywilliamjme...
We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.
This was always the coolest movie opening, “this movie is so good that a lion has endorsed it” you’d think
Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man is a shockingly prescient commentary on the myriad ways religion has been twisted and weaponized in America
Alan Moore is right: let bad art be the motivator you need to make your own art. Not that the Pitt is bad, but if you feel a type of way about it, let that feeling lead you artistically!
Hell yeah man.
As an aside, Nick fuckin Gage has been loudly and vocally pro-trans rights for years now and WILL identify as a big fuckin problem if you disagree.

this piece is lovely and more involved than this framing would suggest. sometimes we can’t fit a human experience into a headline
That's what I'm always saying about my best friend, @monolithbrah.bsky.social.
Whoa who ever heard of a "moving image"? Get real!
Man that Tom Waits song with Massive Attack has really burrowed into my skull
A protest song for our moment.
Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.
The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
He did a PHOTO OPP hassling the homeless and throwing their shit out. Like he brought cameras with him to fuck with the homeless. You know how evil that is? He had Steve Bannon on his podcast. He's trash
Thinking guy meme
Once it burns down you'll never have to clean again.
eat shit, fascists
holy shit he actually conceded
folks, they tell you they’re invincible

the viability of many right-wing intellectuals and intellectual spaces is enormously dependent on the largesse of reactionary billionaires and foreign governments, who help them circumvent a marketplace of ideas where they would otherwise post extraordinarily poor sales
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
Congrats to my Hungarian friends!
