Cassocks are red
Conclaves are dope

Handing over academic institutional leadership to a roving class of elite administrators, none remaining in place long, just climbing ladders and cashing checks … was a mistake,

just over here being highly offended by "25th anniversary" editions of books published in the year 2000. get outta here with that garbage.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion."

It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

i dunno don't you think it's degrading to humanity to treat anything with cruelty or disdain? we reject a lot of behavior against objects. If you break your child's toy in anger or burn your homeland's flag or discard your family photos you may not be breaking the law but you may be harming yourself

study the masters like my aunt timmie. it was her iron, or one like hers, that smoothed the sheets the master poet slept on. home or hotel, what matters is he lay himself down on her handiwork and dreamed. she dreamed too, words: some cherokee, some masai and some huge and particular as hope. if you had heard her chanting as she ironed you would understand form and line and discipline and order and america.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back (Gift Article) The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I love that we keep diluting the dollar with crypto scams that turn nothing into paper money for a few people, then wonder why everything costs more.

lol everyone is downloading Rednote (an actual Chinese app) out of spite and migrating there and chatting with normal Chinese people instead. 😏

from Rednote lmao

the cultural commingling going on on Rednote right now should make the most jaded international relations experts raise eyebrows and scratch chins. Doubtful if bluesky zone is paying attention but a lot of people are embracing China rn even if out of spite ... and who knows what'll come of it.

was just struck anew by the realization that a substantial portion of my intellectual curiosity around women's labor and cottage industry boils down to asking the question why does mommy have to go to work, so I'll be over here laugh-crying for a minute, as one periodically does.

The "I'll show you" nerds are always the most dangerous. They never learned to just be and we all end up suffering for it.

No matter what it is that they claim to sell or how beautifully their vision of a better future is packaged, every tech bro influencer only has one idea, over & over again; removing human labor from their current sector of interest. They should be viewed as gluttonous parasites & treated as pariahs.

More Than Half of US Adults Get Their News from a Squeaky, Malevolent Voice Inside Their Heads that Only They Can Hear, says recent poll from Pew

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

From the hinterlands, my perennial reminder when newspaper discourse comes up -- many of us have NO NEWSPAPERS anymore.
A small pub group bought both the local and Bozeman papers, and they're feel good press releases, some sports, and 2 or 3 AP stories. Mailed not delivered. No real reporting.

the above-linked page itself points to your twitter account rather than the new bluesky presence, just fyi 🤓

the literalism and density of information is so endearing. like i need to know *exactly which holes* plz thank you.

You know this guy gets off on the idea that he is a scary villain. He is literally putting on the bad guy costume and embracing the bad guy ideas on purpose, no subterfuge or sidling. Calling him a Nazi elevates him to his intention. Ridicule the obviousness of his perversion instead.
