spaghetti bolshevik 🇵🇸

god I hate this faux populist bullshit. K-12 is also free for rich people, as are public parks, the fire dept, libraries etc. Study after study shows means testing is the quickest way to gut programs for the rich AND the poor because it erodes the public base of support.

@julianfeeld @willmenaker @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE @SSDERANGEMENTSS @E1podcast Who is the woman wearing the green tank?

Portraits I took at the @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE 10th Anniversary night in LA with @SSDERANGEMENTSS and @E1podcast 🖤 (thread)

@nerdosyndical @facetedcarapace Ah you’re right. The event did seem to occur but evidently people had already been trying to introduce them in various places around the country for years prior. Blame my ornithology professor in 2009!

me the second I see invasive European starlings in my yard eating my bird seed

@GoodVibePolitik That’s awesome. The flowers are so beautiful too

@GeeEffingDee There is! Before I hung the rope it had grown basically across the entire ceiling I had just been using painters tape to hold it up

Update 200 feet of rope and some time later and the project is done! Now I just have to wait for the passion fruit vine to climb across it

@RamAbdu @daveanthony No need for the content warning as no humans were injured

The female soldier, Julieta, who used to post photos humiliating Palestinians, suffered a skull fracture and head burns after being hit by shrapnel from an Iranian missile near shelters in Haifa.

Cheek face is playful and fun you people need to calm down.

The AI “safety” movement is a hilariously pop sci-fi interpretation of the real moral challenges posed by “AI,” which aren’t accidentally creating Skynet but instead to do with the environment and obfuscating the role of human approval over things like AI-generated kill lists

@dee_of_e Do you hate devo and the talking heads too?

never heard of Cheekface before so I listened and a) sorry this is Reddit music (I’m standing by this pejorative), b) it sucks shit, and c) it’s brutal to hear lyrics where every line is a string of words you’ve already heard before. like, every lyric is a meme. Absolute garbage

@Pontifex Anyone who argues with this is not catholic. Catholicism is predicated on acceptance that the pope knows more about God than you. If you don’t think that’s true you are protestant swine.

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

@taste_of_tbone Are you reading the Balle books? They’re great!

Cool bookstore in La Crosse - Pearl Street Books

@sethharpesq Is the UMN talk open to public?

More and more college students are required to read THE FORT BRAGG CARTEL as part of their curriculum in classes that deal with the history and sociology of the global drug war. I just spoke to students at Middlebury College and will soon at the University of Minnesota.

@bartlebytaco The only way to read novels is to read exactly the one you want to when it’s time to start a new one. Planning ahead multiple books is an exercise in futility

oddly have the urge to reread the savage detectives lately, like "i need to eat a good donut soon," i don't know why. been ages. unfortunately i told myself i need to read every novel from the 19th century this year first. but now that i'm thinking about it that seems impossible

@AwfulButGreat @who_shot_jgr Great literal execution this time

@bartlebytaco Arrested development s1-3

as a firmly middle millennial i wonder sometimes if there’s a single cultural trope or inheritance my age group produced that has aged well. our mount rushmore is like, jim from the office, heckin doggo parlance, buzzfeed, reaction gifs. sad stuff

@pants Looking at the news every day

@DeadsoundApp Knotty pine still slaps

Am I misremembering the culture, or were we all really into the "Dark Was the Night" compilation in 2009 and then no one ever mentioned it again?

@hausofdecline @matttbastard Thinking about digital circus eh

@treeaston You deserve several 9/11s

dude is on tape saying america deserved 9/11 DO Y'ALL WANT TO FUCKING WIN ELECTIONS OR NOT
