oh no my search history is going to become increasingly fucked

oh no I am writing my first screenplay

I look forward to adding a sprinkle of cayenne next time

This was a delicious decision that will be repeated

Been feeling sickly so made some garlic tea: a handful of roughly chopped garlic cloves boiled in a few cups of water and then mixed with some lemon juice and honey. I realized I'd basically made a garlic hot toddy without the whiskey, so, like a beautiful genius, I added whiskey.

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism.

Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

The Death of Shame Modern Nazis, careless people, and the offensive necessity of caring in a shameful age.

I wrote about Nazism in a small Michigan town, and in a large North American country; about the uses of and limits of shame; and on the importance of holding shared standards. www.the-reframe.com/the-death-of...

Instrumental hiphop does it for me, but of course it stops working if I'm cutting something that needs a music bed

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

This thread is about Evanston, but this has also been going on without reprieve in Elgin, Aurora, and other Chicago suburbs—a metro area of nearly 10 million people.

I really can't emphasize enough that OpenAI is, as Dr. Gilliard has described in the past, a social arsonist enabling racism, and I urge colleagues in education using OpenAI's products - including ed-tech platforms that incorporate its products like Khanmigo and MagicSchool - to stop.

This was great, thanks for sharing!

YouTube video by Alabama Public Television How the Drummer from Man or Astro-Man? Brought the World to his Hometown

set up a new TV, and YouTube immediately recommended this very short Man or Astroman doc from Alabama PBS and hey it’s good youtu.be/44PXi7Nxdg4?...

The Black People Who Fled Slavery Had a Lot to Teach Their Northern Allies Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.

"An organized urban wing of the [Underground] railroad called vigilance committees focused on protecting, supporting, and learning from fugitives."

Get rekt nerd. You can't comprehend the brilliance of guys like QBert and Bad Boy Bill. They make original music scratching off the break and you're posting TikToks

The same week we lost a sister to anti-trans policies, were blamed by the government for 42m people losing SNAP, were told we should be abandoned by centrists yet again, & Trump declared Congress null & signaled he'll never leave office, the regime seeks to torture & kill every trans kid in America.

I just organized some resources for whistles if anyone wants to DIY an event or join forces with my whistle event team.

We could use support with 3D printing whistles! I’ve got files, donation links, and a sign-up sheet. Also a link to the zines if you need it!

I feel sickened deep in my soul by this mania for harming trans folks, in particular trans children. I would like to go a single day without seeing some new horror being unleashed on such a small, frightened, precarious community. Demonic barely begins to describe it.

Border Patrol slammed the burbs this morning while Bovino was in court. Now they're patrolling the city. Multiple people detained in Humboldt Park. A Blackhawk has been circling the north side. Just watched a FB live from Berwyn end as an agent backed into someone behind him, then detained them.

In the past I've said that Mississippi is ground zero for the American apocalypse, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

The East Wing Isn’t Even the Half of It - Dame Magazine Employees working in the Treasury Building enjoyed a bird’s-eye view of the rubble that, just a week ago, had been the White House’s historic East Wing. The view was so good, in fact, that the Treasur...

Trump saying out loud that he no longer feels bound by even the pretense of civil law is a staggering admission for an American president writes @themaxburns.bsky.social

A civil rights icon’s advice for combatting Trump, ICE, and fascism today “When you see some of the tactics people are using now to try and monitor these ICE arrests… it's similar to what we did when we were in SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee)."

map of chicago population by race, showing extreme segregation with Black and Latino people largely in clusters on the South and West Sides and White people clustered along the central-northern lakefront, with only a few diverse/mixed-race areas in between

Closeup of neighborhoods on the West and Southwest side showing extremely stark racial clusters, some continuing for miles, of Black vs Latino vs Asian vs White vs small mixed-race housing areas

Most ppl know that Chicago (home of modern urban segregation) is a very segregated place but I don't think most outside Chicago (+many Chicagoans!) understand how the *distances* involved and *depth* of segregation mean most white ppl have ZERO visibility into many Black and Latine neighborhoods

Definitely was a thing in north Florida

So, the area I grew up in basically died in the 1970's. The borscht belt became the rust belt, the economy stagnated, everything began to rot and rust.

Yet rich people still liked the *idea* of living there.

So they'd attempt to build mansions.

If you would like to support some of the families of people who have been abducted by ICE in my area during the recent federal attacks on our community that I've written about, local organizers have put together this trusted list of crowd funds.

Watch Ekko Astral’s Video for New Song “Horseglue” The Washington, D.C., punk band follows its 2024 debut with “a screeching call for moral clarity”

“‘Horseglue’ is a screeching call for moral clarity,” I explained in a statement to media, including @pitchfork.com about the news industry’s complicity in genocide and authoritarianism. “It is important to focus on how integral the Messengers really are, and that some of them are the 1%, too.“
