🎃 Two-Headed Thomas in Queens 👻 @sweezysarmy.bsky.social · Nov 21

Nothing is settled; everything can still be altered. What was done but turned out wrong, can be done again. The Golden Age, which blind superstition had placed behind [or ahead of] us, is in us.

—Claude Levi-Strauss, from Triste Tropiques

There’s a tiny bit of justice in Norway, the country who’d like to see them banned from UEFA more than any, crushing them and Israel scoring 2 own goals. It was a humiliating night for them.

Israel at least figured out how to score on Norway

Nick Ames @nickames82.bsky.social · 3h

Doesn't matter, he's scored now and Norway are 3-0 up after 28 minutes. Israel have scored two own goals and, the way they're defending, the end tally could be anything.

These losers have let the right define the agenda.

A debate is a concession that this is a real issue that needs to be solved.

There is no issue. It’s a made up cultural panic. Nothing needs to be solved. Civil rights aren’t debatable.

The Pod Save America bros are setting up a "debate" about trans rights featuring anti-trans ghoul Matt Yglesias, apparently! No clue who the "pro-trans" side will be repped by, but I'm really worried that they're going to just find someone to get steamrolled.

so there’s gonna potentially be a pod save america “debate” on democrats future support for trans rights in the near future

i had to back out because of scheduling conflicts, and for some reason they didn’t want my help finding a replacement

on the other side of the “debate” is…

These videos will have the same impact on public opinion that the videos of a live-streamed genocide had on public opinion. Most people don’t want to live in this world.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

The year is 2025. Trump is president again and he’s talking about Portland OR like it’s a scene from Mad Max to justify occupying it with US military. Behind him are Mehmet Oz, RFK Jr, and Marty Makary who all hold cabinet positions.

It’s far worse than bad acid.

How does Douchehat even have a job? This is so clearly not a guy you talk to. It’s a guy you isolate as much as possible. Toxic and hateful and eager to turn back time 100 years at least. Nope. F that.

Before (2012) / After (2025) Rue le Vau, Paris 20. The change here is so radical that perceiving the photos as aligned is difficult (see the orange building and the trees on the left). In 2024, this section was converted into a school street with a bike lane running through the greenery.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

The road to fascism is paved with false equivalencies. For years we’ve been told that the censorious Left is a serious threat to free speech. If Simon & Schuster cancels one book because the pu…

i think it was jamelle bouie who said that christopher nolan is fascinating because he's a conservative filmmaker... just one made from a mold we seem to have lost, one who believes that while it is inevitable that some men wield power and some have it wielded upon them, the former is a *burden*
