I'm attending an educational film festival this week. I'm having a great time and learning a lot but I also can't stop thinking about the old Mr Show sketch

So many Americans treat public transportation like alien technology. Props to the car industry for completely owning people’s imaginations because people don’t seem to comprehend that they sound stupid as fuck when they frame taking the train as some strange behavior.

@ReflexiveYawn I got most of the lint out with a plastic toothpick but there was a really stubborn compacted bit in the corner that the toothpick was too soft to move. The needle got it though.
I can't guarantee there's no risk of a short but I can say my phone seems perfectly fine.

@sleepymurph I've done that with a toothpick, but I wasn't sure if a sewing needle could cause a short. Good to know!

Just fixed my phone with a sewing needle
It was getting harder and harder to charge because a layer of pocket lint was building up inside the charge port and preventing the plug from seating properly. Turns out a sewing needle was the perfect tool the scrape that lint out 🪡💪

i genuinely feel bad for people that gritted their teeth to study STEM fields or whatever and are getting their asses beat in the job market. at least you get to have fun in the humanities and can make the experience truly rigorous if you care enough to do so

Unless you are going to a Great Books school or SLAC, don’t major in the humanities. Major in what your parents are trying to bully you into. Make reading a hobby.

The boys are shit at making plans. You just gotta head down to Dino's and trust you'll bump into them there

"The Boys are Back in Town" is meant to sound celebratory. But to those of us like myself who considered the boys our friends, it can hurt hearing it second-hand, like I'm the last one to find out

Maciej Ceglowski of @Pinboard gave a great talk about this back in 2014, using the listening device and the life of its inventor to talk about the dangers of big tech and surveillance capitalism. It holds up.

In the early Cold War, the gift seemed like a harmless gesture of post‑war goodwill, Soviet schoolchildren presenting a hand‑carved Great Seal to U.S. Ambassador Averell Harriman. Its craftsmanship was so impressive that it earned a place of honor on the wall of the ambassador’s Moscow office, a symbol of friendship at a moment when both nations were publicly insisting cooperation was still possible. What no one realized was that the seal contained The Thing, a passive, battery‑less listening device activated remotely by a radio beam. For seven years it transmitted conversations straight from the ambassador’s office to Soviet intelligence. When U.S. security finally uncovered it in 1952, the discovery became one of the most famous and audacious espionage coups of the era. Beyond its clever design, 'The Thing' was so advanced that Western intelligence initially refused to believe the Soviets had built it. When British engineers first examined it, they thought it was a hoax because it had power source, no wires, and no moving parts, a level of passive surveillance decades ahead of anything the U.S. or U.K. had. Its discovery didn’t just expose a spy trick; it forced Western agencies to rethink their entire understanding of Soviet technical capability. #archaeohistories

Major in whatever won’t make you kill yourself. I would have killed myself pursuing any degree other than history and now I have a good, meaningful job in public service as well as the intellectual toolkit to pick apart and destroy every non-fiction bestseller.

“All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live”
The capitalist class - after decades of gutting labor unions, stripping worker protections and generally committing social murder - has forgotten that this is what happens when workers are left with no other way to negotiate
Power to the People ☭🕊@ProudSocialist
A worker in Ontario, California sets his company’s warehouse on fire and has a message for the CEO: “There goes your inventory. All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live.” Expect to see more of this as people struggle to survive under our decaying capitalist system.

Israel planted monocultures of these pines over the ruins of Palestinian villages to hide their existence, prevent Palestinians from returning, assert claim over the land, & greenwash its state image. I describe this weaponization of tree planting as green colonialism. 3/
