It turns out that hiring a spoiled brat whose dad bailed him out of every bad situation he got himself into to run a country is going to cause absolute catastrophe. Who knew. Other than everyone with more than one brain cell.

The Longreads Questionnaire, Featuring Rebecca Solnit - Longreads The author of The Beginning Comes After the End talks about jackrabbits, her own “informational hypervigilance,” and the one word she won’t stop using.

What five items would you place in a time capsule?

Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and maybe Mohammed bin Salman, to be opened, carefully, with precautions, in the year 3026.

And the U.S. is run by lunatics who worship money. Fanatics and zealots for cash

Sorry for my grouchy posts, I am ill and working so very grouchy.

You know what I’d like Jesus to come back just to punch Trump, Rubio, Hegseth and Vance in the face.

Their treatment of Palestinians should have been enough to take action against, but also, it was never going to stop with Palestine. A rogue genocidal state can’t be appeased.

Republican politicians and their evangelical Christian cohort are trying to kill the whole planet in order to bring Jesus back and they’re calling OTHER PEOPLE religious fanatic lunatics?? Jail for everyone immediately.

Step 1: kill everyone we can

Step 2: wait whose job was this step

Step 3: Cancel Step 2

Step 4: Send for the A Team

Step 5: Wait, theyre WHAT?

Step 6: fine make the call

It's publication day! (I signed 240 of these yesterday, before an event with the inimitable Jeff Chang, at San Francisco's Booksmith at the Internet Archive).

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

If the Rightwing and some liberals successfully dismantle public libraries, they will not be replicated again in the U.S.

Honestly whoever said that the anti intellectualism crisis was actually a pseudo intellectualism crisis was onto something because the way people act with total strangers online to one up should be studied. Men in particular use it as a smokescreen to be fucking rude to women.

Stranger on threads: “Hi for fucks sake can we learn the difference between dissociate and disassociate. Dissociate: not being connected to reality as a coping mechanism in response to trauma Disassociate: to separate yourself from someone or something. You don't associate with it anymore. In your context you mean "dissociate". Pls learn the difference xx”

Absolutely insane way to respond to a stranger making a typo on the internet by the way. Please go touch grass.

Whoever gets a PHD in the 2016 to 2028 era is going to have to explain things like “well you see, the US president was a pedophile and demented and people still just sort of…went with what he said.”

Who knew world war 3 would be so embarrassing to explain to future history nerds because Pete Hegseth is out there saying things like “we are not doing any more politically correct wars”.

What a fucking odd tying to say; advocating for destruction and massive deaths in other countries all in the name of people being a “catalyst”.

The alt-right pipeline and psicosis in what I call TikTok spirituality is something else.

I am going to need anyone saying this kind of garbage to stay far away from me.

If you personally think genocide, torture, and concentration camps are required to create good, then you have a major issue and ethics problem.

Yeah......... nope. This is just a bunch of weird, gobbledygook nonsense trying to sound wise. Don't do this.

“Bellaisalibra” on threads: I adore your talent, please know this. I am also one of the "sensitive beings" here. He was / is the catalyst. All of the darkness would have continued and all would have overlooked the depths of the darkness. It had to be exposed, brought to surface, in order to be seen. The evils of the world now seen via catalyst. This is a brief summary of what is happening and the direction heading. It will be good but yes, it will be devastatingly painful getting there.

This other thing spiritual people are doing where they call Trump a “catalyst” and “he has to be voted in so that the world can get to utopia later” is also really starting to grind on my nerves. People are dying, in particular people in the global south. This isn’t a game.

I’m starting to believe that the “we didn’t vote him in! He cheated!” thing is more of a way to avoid accountability and is going to give Trump voters an easy way to pretend they never voted for him in the future.

“We didn’t vote him in! He cheated!” - the US political system allowed for that man to win power either way. I’m sorry but American power monopoly has been a scourge on the world for a LONG time. A country that has been at war for most of its 250 years of existence is not innocent.

Extremely upsetting that the fate of the entire world was left in the hands of Americans and less than 80 million of them decided to vote in a man who has taken us into potentially the third world war. We must never allow one country to have this much power over the world ever again.

I do not have the energy to keep explaining this but your Fisher Price understanding of our present socio economic system means you believe in representation politics and not progressive politics.

People always say “well the women leaders we have aren’t much better!” And I have to keep reminding them that the only women leaders allowed to come to power in a capitalist patriarchy are women who do the bidding of the capitalist patriarchy.

Y’all gonna have us starting up Amazonian civilizations. 💅

Always a man.
