A genuinely good piece of reportage in Politico today sheds some light on young Republicans’ love of racial epithets and other slurs. I definitely recommend reading it, but as I’ve explained before, I doubt this will lead to any sort of a reckoning for Republicans.

There are writers, creating the most evocative and life-changing art, every single day, and most have never heard of them, because their medium is fanfiction.

I feel like I'm seeing a lot less "it's not my job to educate you" from people and that makes me very happy. Fighting disinformation and building revolutionary capacity is everyone's job, because the people in power ain't gonna do it for us

american cultural hegemony makes people think a new york bagel is the epitome of the form.

gentle reader, do not let them fool you. the noble montreal bagel is truly the best bagel in North America.

Not a bagel.
Seriously, it's not a bagel.
It's... fine.

Montreal Bagel

Fantastic bagel.
