I laughed so hard at this.

I should finish writing a thing on this, but I have so many things I need to write.

Fighting Iran and the Pope simultaneously is basically 21st century evangelical Christian nationalisms wet dream.

God it's awful. Every time I look at it I have an essay handed to me.

The DHS social media posts this week have been a LOT and I don't think anyone wants to publish more of me talking about them but holy fuck this is a government agency.

Global Music History and Northern Europe in the 18th and 19th Centuries Conference.

Happy that my colleagues organizing the conference “Global Music History and Northern Europe in the 18th and 19th Centuries” has been able to convince @katherineschof8.bsky.social to give the keynote lecture. That should be so great!

HA!

Holy shit I had a cool opportunity and did a cool thing and it was really enjoyable and apparently they enjoyed it too and I've been invited to do another cool thing and I PROMISE I will be clearer about this when I'm legally allowed to.

I have not hated myself enough recently to read another one of those, but I would pay money to be across from the author in Power Slap.

Finished my portion of the piece Annika and I are writing and it felt just... so fucking good to sit down to write and then words came? My God. The rush.

Yes.

Second the motion! I'd love for him to respond. I'd even take a "I'm not letting these fascist bastards take my faith symbols away from me" or something like that. But yeah, a comment is necessary.

I don't disagree! If he were starting it now, it'd be one thing; but he's been doing it daily since the last Iowa caucus, at the least, when I met him there. *shrugs* You know my feelings on crusading bullshit are very clear, I just have a hard time taking Steyer in the same vein as Hegseth.

The Jerusalem cross by itself isn't the problem; it's that plus Deus Vult plus his other tattoos (I was interviewed for the article you posted, I've written about his tattoos a couple places)

Ooooooooh ok, worth buying then?

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.

Oh absolutely!

Sadly I wouldn't know.

Mmmm ok fair. Looking forward to AP Euro for the rye old fashioneds we drink there.

Oh God imagine how the Orange Man would literally explode at the news.

Is there anything as pleasant in the late afternoon as sipping a tasty beer while cooking?

There are a lot of people out there doing good work but today a profound thank you to @bencollins.bsky.social, for what he has done at The Onion, what he has done to InfoWars, and for refusing to take any of the 21st century fascist bullshit lying down.

Giving Tim Heidecker infowars is the first, but not the last, instance of The People's Joker becoming real life

🗃️ Nota bene #skystorians and THANK YOU to all who make this access to #history possible at @archive.org 🙌

Bolsonaro is one of the WORST but also love the articles people will be able to write and I'll be able to read.

This, very much, but I also can't wait for the QAnon-flavored messianic bullshit they spin about him.

(Yes I am writing again apparently. Thank God. Cascading deadlines.)

Man I've missed writing with @ardenthistorian.bsky.social.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.
