Just posting this again because I can: a new humanity, forged in the crucible of intergalactic war has spread throughout the galaxy; among them are millions of Muslims who must return to Earth for Hajj. Meet the crew: 🧵

«For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another. […]
This is the strangers’ case;
And this your mountainish inhumanity.»
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Should we just check to see which team has the most white players and give them the win this Super Bowl to ensure a lack of DEI and then have kid rock sing about how much he likes statutory rape, dealing drugs and being a fake cowboy for two hours?

One of the most inane, vapid and facile phrases I’ve ever heard is “power doesn’t travel,” which tells me someone doesn’t believe in electricity and/or never heard of Mansa Musa.

I know the "big lie" is a method; repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes common sense. Have we tried "big truth," yet?

This is a common misconception, but legalizing apartments everywhere does not force apartments to be built.

They will only get built if there’s unmet demand to live in them.
Not everyone wants to live in apts.

I know the YIMBYs have a hard time understanding this.

Whenever Trump is asked about the Epstein Files, he runs scared, lies, & lashes out at reporters, especially the female members of the media.

I share my thoughts on why Trump’s terror over the Epstein Files is a tell & why mainstream media needs to get its shit together.

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”

His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

@schizanon.bsky.social I don’t hate people who use technology I hate how technology is made, marketed and sold. I do dislike people who put other people on lists in this day and age.

I woke up before 5 and couldn’t sleep, so I read Jericho Brown’s The New Testament. It’s stunning. “Heart Condition,” “Hustle,” “Host,” and “Labor” are among my favorites.

I legit would like to see people who were successfully rehabilitated at Arkham Asylum in the non-super criminal sections of the place. There can’t be THAT many super villains that they can keep their funding going just incarcerating the 100 jerk offs Batman keeps gift wrapping.

So soft path systems and soft path technologies are both LLCs now rather than thought concepts and teachable ideas and that’s fucking irritating. I assume there is a company called Bi Cameral Structures or Jungian Industries or some shit.

What does it mean to be hot for revolution—to feel a desire to transform the world in your belly and your bones?

Here's my latest, on how erotic desire feeds political agency. I draw on AIDS activism, disability justice & other movements against sexual oppression.

If you’ve ever thought of killing your self so someone who can’t stop blaming you for all their problems would stop blaming you for all their problems I assure you they’d find a new, living person to hate and abuse and you’d still be dead.
