I'm finding that adulthood mainly consists of showering houseplants and trying to forge 5-year plans even when you're not sure the world will still be standing by then. That is all.

A picture of numerous houseplants inside a white bathtub.

A small gong bowl, packet of candles (including a lit one), and two lined paper pads complete with scrawls of handwriting.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

It is quite remarkable how so many men understand perfectly well what personal space means when they’re queuing with other men but somehow magically forget when they’re queuing with women. Yes I am on public transport again.

This is not surprising. Writing drafts help me formulate and articulate my thoughts and make my writing better.

I also find that taking notes help me remember things, so if I’m simply given the PowerPoint, I don’t remember the details as well.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:

1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

I have been re-reading the Bachman Books by @stephenking.bsky.social . All of the stories in this series feel dystopian. I have owned this book for decades and read it many times. But reading it this year, turning to this page, and seeing the date and tagline. . . .

#booksky

The front page of the short story "The Running Man" by Stephen King. The tagline reads "In the year 2025, the best men don't run for President. They run for their lives..."

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

Rare audio. Celia Black, 1974 - 114 years old, remembering the slave fields. Her voice isn't ancient history — it's a reminder we're only a generation removed from this.

There is a world in which Musk gets bored of destroying the US government in a few months and goes back to Tesla, SpaceX, or whatever the fuck he does, and the GOP blames everything on him and emerges from all the destruction unscathed.

Musk Donates to G.O.P. Members of Congress Who Support Impeaching Judges (Gift Article)

Amid a controversy over whether President Trump will abide by court rulings, Elon Musk gave the maximum to the campaigns of Republicans who back ousting judges who impede the administration.

Don’t like gay marriage?
Don’t get married to the same sex.

Don’t like gender-affirming care?
Don’t have any.

Don’t like Planned Parenthood?
Don’t go there.

Don’t like abortion?
Don’t get one.

Just because *you* don’t like it doesn’t mean *others* shouldn’t be able to it.
