Really can't emphasize enough the pure adrenaline joy from messaging some dumbass with a 2012 Civic with 2 smokestacks and a half a catalytic converter with more rust than glass for $8k " $3k, you worm-infested ape, you will never enter the kingdom of God"
We are not here to generate shareholder value. We are here, as Vonnegut said, to fart around.

Learn to sing, draw a picture, get laid, play dominoes in the park, lowball guys selling project stock cars on your local online yardsale, go count butterflies in a field.
I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

Maul is core to many of the best eps of Rebels and Clone Wars. Key to understanding Ezra Bridger but also to some extent Ahsoka. I loved his attempt to become a Anti-Sith with his brother as apprentice. And of course he has just about the best death in all of Star Wars. gizmodo.com/star-wars-ma...
Darth Maul's Second Death Was Worth the Absurdity of His Survival

I love that I live in a time where I see a headline like "geico gecko denounces State-sanctioned execution" and my response is "well, at least we're moving the needle"

Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

Finally got around to Zen Guitar by Philip Toshio Sudo. I know it's older. But it's not joke life-changing, as a wannabe guitarist.

Very appreciative of the 3 strangers that helped push my car over a snow mound, and very glad the guy weaving in and out of traffic slid off the road.

This looks ill as hell
I really liked Riot Women, the latest show from Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright, about a middle-aged female punk band. My review:

'Happy Valley' creator Sally Wainwright has another winner with a dramedy about a middle-aged female punk band

It’s a power fantasy for weak men.

They cosplay as rulers while applauding their own subjugation.

"Hey, that's our brother you've got there"
One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

There is one side of the aisle that is deeply deeply flawed, and then there’s the ruling party that wants more of what happened in Minnesota this weekend

Not just the shooting, but the whole lawless, bigoted, gleefully violent crackdowns. They crave it.

Those are your two options

"America is so big your mom can still fit in it"

paraphrasing de Gaulle on America:

America is a big country, inhabited by many Americans.
in general, what i've noticed is that a large amount of the election doomers seem to be from Europe and are completely clueless how the actual US system works

Taking a break from the horrors and snowmagedon to say Hitman: World of Assassination is really really fun. Scratches a very specific itch, like a Rubio cube but violent. Surprisingly not gory.

The Death Star Conundrum: Why Do You Have That Thing?
I think the Trump people's key misstep here is that they reached the "too scary to scare people into submission" zone where not doing something is actually more frightening than trying to stop it.

Every punk band in America should be hard at work on protest anthems right now.

From the middle of a good thread 🧵 on the necessity of non-violent protesting

NON-violent is essential

That doesn’t necessarily mean “peaceful”

Disrupt the peace non-violently

Parkrose Permaculture discusses this thoroughly
It is a horrible thing but one of the *points* of non-violence is that state violence in response causes outrage to spread.
