There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Been having a hard time as of late and I’m happy to be reading this warm, loving, thoughtful book. And Seamas makes me laugh out loud in a way few do, so I’m thankful for that. #booksky

This is brilliant.
"How do you expect to win back men...?"
We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Bluesky runners: winter is coming. how do yall keep consistent with your miles? do you migrate to indoor tracks, just pray there's no ice, moderate your speed when it has snowed, switch to running on road, make peace with the treadmill?

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.

Fuck Charlie Kirk, always and forever. History will paint him in his true light.
Anyone want to get a round of "Fuck Charlie Kirk" going?
He was a bad person who said bad things, bad things happen to bad people. Tots and pears.

You need to know what might be coming.
Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.
