the Jiminy Glick of The Left

sorry everybody, this was my bad. last night I rewatched all the president's men with a Coors and some barbeque, then went to Redford's wiki and said out loud "wow, 89, good for him"

and I know what you're thinking: "that's not very funny." but wait until you hear a cat snoring from eight feet in the air, or the sound a highfalutin visitor makes when they see what you've done to the table

find the nicest heavy antique coffee table you can on fb marketplace or Craigslist, stack the tree on top, and bolt the tree to the table

hell yeah brother

He cites an interview with a Nazi from a concentration camp in Krakow:
"So what about your ideal world, what was this dream you had of a world after the holocaust? Even if you had won the war you'd have a broken stressed nation to deal with after."
"After? The dream was doing it"

It's finally happening. Philadelphia found a way to impregnate Gritty.

nothing tops breakfast for dinner on one of these bad boys. And they make a very solid wood cutting board that nests on top for food prep. Only speak to me in short order when I'm working my Steelmade!!

Serving hot meals on strike support? Danny Chowder. When the mic cuts out during a rally? Danny Louder. Starring alongside Jeff Goldblum and Mary Steenburgen in a 1995 sci-fi drama? Danny Powder.

st. peter is going to let her powerbomb hogan to hell

It seems like the workers directly affected disagree with you, too, both on wages and on scabbing. Days or weeks of trash every forty years is worth it for a clean conscience, IMO

The tenor of my agreement is such that I oppose undermining the strike in any way. Nothing in the DC33 proposal is unreasonable. 8+8+8 puts the average salary by 2028 at a 2024 living wage only for single, childless adults, nobody else

That's well below a living wage for Philadelphia! If clean streets are important for our city -- and we clearly agree they are! -- we need to insist on fair pay for those doing the work

disagree that it is responsible to weaken the efforts of underpaid city workers who have cleaned up Philly streets, without a strike, for as long as I've been alive.

Minimizing the disruption of a strike undermines worker power. It's not complicated: Helping take pressure off the boss (ie the Mayor) is scab behavior. Don't like the trash? Call Mayor Parker and tell her.

[In the imperial core as violence is visited upon the periphery] haha fuck yeah!! yes!!

[As the violence visited upon the periphery returns to the imperial core] well this fucking sucks. what the fuck.

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.

Law is fake. Power is real.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

the single most important text for me in learning how to be a teacher

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, 'Borders and Bridges: Seeking Connections between Things' ( @dukepress.bsky.social , 2000).

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

congrats again!

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

co-op comrade

a class act

As a good friend said today: they are at war with the entire post-WW2 world order because they are literally Nazis. Simple as!
