Kushiel's Dart, by @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social made me realize for I think the first time that prose can be its own incredibly beautiful art form. I was an avid reader before I read Kushiel's Dart, but no book (excepting its sequels) has ever so utterly captured and transported me with its style.

Followers of Mammon! Now you can honor the 4th commandment--"Remember the sabbath day, and keep it lucrative"--without all those infernal transaction fees!

For my third installment of philosophy and fantasy, join me for a walk through @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social Kushiel's Avatar and how it relates to Simone Weill and Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling.... (Don't believe me? Argue with me in the comments :) ) youtu.be/VNFtumDIWRM?...

I watched a lot of B-grade 1980s post-apocalyptic films in my youth, and based on the level of violent sadism unleashed in this nation, I'd say we're a generation away from Rutger Hauer slamming a dog skull on stake.

Yessss! GenX loves to invoke its scrappy childhood, but there were more Alex P. Keatons than you could shake a stick at.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

It appears my comment has lent itself to misinterpretation. I'm all for prosecuting Trump, I just see breaking Clinton's silence as a potential wedge. Please save your ire for someone who actually disagrees with you. ✌️

In the wake of Zohran winning Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL have opened a tipline to report Antisemitism. Everyone should call to report Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and every other right wing group the adl refused to condemn with the same intensity they save for leftists

Now that's an election.

Dick Cheney is dead. He's the last politician to fool me. I mistook him for a normal unscrupulous business tycoon (he picked HIMSELF for VP) until 9/11, when he emerged a deluded, warmongering neocon. Failure to hold those idiots accountable laid some of the groundwork for Trump. Good riddance.

If Clinton's got nothing unsavory to conceal, his voice calling for full disclosure on this issue would be a powerful one.

Fuck. Heartsick at this one, Teen Vogue has been a beacon in dark times. I'll see what happens with Wired, boycotting the rest of the Conde Nast empire.

Vogue. GQ. Vanity Fair. The New Yorker. Glamour. Bon Appetit. Conde Nast Traveler. Architectural Digest. Byeeeeee!

Next up, your advertisers.

I sense my comment has been misinterpreted, but I'm not entirely sure in what manner, so... ✌️

Oh, FFS! I've never been a big Hillary Clinton fan, but that's appalling. I've been thinking a lot about Bill and the Epstein thing. I'm ready for him to get thrown under the bus.

TIME to fall back and set yo clocks back one hour tonite,!!

This BS is being perpetuated by godawful racist videos flooding social media. It's hard to differentiate between genuine gullibility and disingenuousness, but we're in dire need of media literacy.

It's a pity that the fossil fuel industry has had a stranglehold on American politics and innovation since the invention of the automobile.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

There's a disturbingly plausible conspiracy theory making the rounds tying vanished detainees to a Neurolink research facility, so that's an exciting possibility! 😒

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Among other things, Democrats need to reckon with the fact that their credibility is in the toilet w/ younger generations, who see them as the corporate-loving party that's presided over 12 out of the past 16 years of rising income disparity.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Testing out my new horns.

I'm no Reagan fan, but I AM a fan of pointing out when the Toddler-in-Chief is flat out lying.

Yeah, you can gaslight the American people about a lot of things, but it's harder to gaslight our bank accounts.

Last u-pick of the season. No filters, just the golden hour and a reminder that despite everything, there's beauty and splendor in the world!

It took me 5 minutes of research to discover that according to the DEA data, 0% of fentanyl originates from Venezuela. Seems relevant. Have you considered doing research in the course of reporting? It's quite effective. 🙄
