First conference presentation at APSA 2025 wrapping up year one of my PhD 🤗

The Minneapolis shooter was wearing a KMFDM shirt bc they were a fan of past mass shooters and wanted to nod specifically to the Columbine Shooter Dylan Klebold. This has absolutely no connection to the band itself or their music which is politically left. Let's leave the Satanic Panic in the 90s.

Forgot about the Air and Water show and now I get to spend the rest of the week/end terrorized by the sound, worried about my apartment being hit by a fighter jet for literally no reason. But its fun I guess!

Maybe I am just sheltered from growing up in East Los Angeles but I am legit disturbed by the number of totally average young white women on the other app that are proud flagrant white supremacists, posting selfies and all. For free!

Is South Park going to be the reason deep fake technology gets outlawed 🤣

This whole “Children of the Waning Star” TikTok cult debacle is a prime example of why digital public spaces should NOT be all ages spaces. Children and teenagers need their own moderated digital spaces where they can express themselves and connect without being exploited by lonely adults or worse.

I thought I couldn't hate wasps more than I already do, but the high rise I live in is covered in bridge spiders (a type of orb weaver) which I have grown to love and to my horror I now have to witness their parasitic kidnappings by mud-daubers on a daily basis all summer long.

OMG I need this in my apartment stat!!

I did not have Tucker Carlson roasting the hell out of Ted Cruz on my 2025 bingo card.

They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.

These exposes are becoming increasingly common and yet there is very little interrogation of whether these metaphysical matrixy "AI as god" responses are the result of intentional training by the noted techno accelerationists who develop these chatbots. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

I went to Europe for the first time this last week and caught covid from these guys on the way out 🦴

Thanks Brandy!!

My paper was accepted to #APSA!! Baby’s first conference 😭🎉

Two #AoIR submissions out the door 🤞🏼

Sure, but this will disproportionately impact poor red states, which will make their constituent's lives really hard. Of course they don't give af about anyone who isn't ultra-wealthy but it seems they have not considered a scenario where their own supporters are pushed to revolt.

so king of the ashes then?

Through the course of this fuckery I’ve noticed that there appears to be no strategy beyond sheer chaos and acceleration. They are making cuts and firing people indiscriminately, which will inevitably affect their own constituents. What is the end goal here beyond just being king of the ashes?

Mochi says “All my friends hate Meta”

Trump's Office of Women's Health added a whole page devoted to transphobia under the guise of "protecting women and children." It's not trans-people women and children need protecting from, its cis-men. We are harassed, abused, assaulted, raped, and murdered every-fucking-day by cis-men.

This is the second midwest columbiner in under two months to plot a mass shooting. Its almost as if there aren’t a litany of public UwU fan cams of Dylan Roof and other mass shooters all over Tumblr and TikTok at any given moment. www.indystar.com/story/news/c...

Watching Come and See (1985) thinking “Make Nazis reprehensible again”

Why does Cyberpunk 2077, with its enormous soundtrack, keep torturing me with the shittiest adult contemporary-counting crows-ass song during seemingly every sentimental character cutscene?

Chatted with some friends of mine about one of my favorite topics: horror films! More specifically Ti West’s porno slasher flick and first in the Maxxxine trilogy, ‘X’ 🔪 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

As a native Angeleno and CSULB alum, this is really gross and I hate this very much!!

The horrors are certainly horroring
